The only thing African Americans seem to cut back on is books. According to the state of black American report, total purchases of books went from a high of $396 million in 2000 to mere $289 million in 2005.
This behavior could be detrimental to the future generation of young African Americans, living them illiterate not knowing how to read.
Studies have shown that instant gratification and social acceptance is to blame.
