Percent of Black folks in each states

[CopiousX]

Mississippi has had a gigantic impact on this Country. Muddy Waters, B.B. King and even punk ass Elvis would cuss you out.

What does Elvis have to do with black people? And while ill grant you BB King, one man can't be holding down an entire state.


I admit this last point is subjective, but I don't think muddy Waters moves the needle like a lot of the black people from other states who had much more material to work with in their environment

I think Detroit is the only major city that is majority black

 

[Justin Nitsuj]

Inaccurate as fukk as usual.

With over 45 million black population in this country, how the fukk is we 14%? The math isn’t making sense.

And don’t give me that “whites is the majority” bullshyt either because their population is lower than ours and they adding other non blacks to their numbers

BB King isn't the only great Bluesman from Mississippi. Howling Wolf, Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, John Lee Hooker, Son House, Elmore James, Willie Dixon, Bo Diddley, on and on and on are from that State. Guys like Sam Cooke and David Ruffin are also from Mississippi. That doesn't even include an actor like Morgan Freeman.

Oh damn

My bad, I stand corrected.


I was going to rep you, but it says I got up 25 more people after this . but I got one waiting for you after I get my numbers down.

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Black Californians have a lot of material to work with in their state. Compare them to a state with a very high percentage of black people like Mississippi where all the black people in the state have very little impact on this country

Statements like this is why I never take internet nikkas seriously..... What is this "impact" you're speaking about?

Don't forget memphis

There are a whole lot more famous Black people than that from Mississippi like Oprah, but it is late and my mind ain’t clicking right now.

Grew up in the blackest states in America…

 

[Don Snow]

Fake stats don’t be fooled



We’re in every major city and whatever city isn’t a major city doesn’t even have a lot of people in general



Therefore it shouldn’t influence the numbers as they like to portray

LOL. Most of slaves in Louisiana and Mississippi were from Virginia.

They were literally separating families by selling mothers and fathers to plantations in the deep South. You never read "Uncle Tom's Cabin?"

In them upper west states I imagine having to drive 15 miles to see another black person.

Pacific Northwest is definitely lily white
