Realized that the only way to get around this that I can see is to create a new ethnic category. Replaced 'US Historic' with 'US African American'.

Need to go back in now and change all 50 states + DC to reflect the new category. YIKES!

Don't expect this file posted until late this week if not a tad longer, as I have to go back and do some major editing now as this throws everything off.

EDIT: New gameplan, treat ethnicities as follows: "Black", "Hispanic","Whites and Asians broken down via ethnic group", and "Generic Americans". This means that if a state has very few blacks or hispanics, I'll sadly have to not include them and what few get generated will be through the generic American numbers. This sounds callous until you realize a lot of states have these groups in such small amounts ( less than 2% ) that the effect will be negligible.
