Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I doubt it, but most of the population of black people in the western hemisphere would be descendents from slaves with only a small number in comparison being immigrants from africa that would have most likely come in the recent migrations from the 1960's and after!. So you could take the black popluations of new world countries and say that was the number but you WOULD be taking in numbers of african immigrants so you could look at approximate african immigration numbers to countries and subtract that from the overall number of black people in the western hemisphere!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
