US states by black population(2017 Census)

[mamba]

You know what I'm saying.... Georgia has one major city. You add any 3 of the states around it and you see the black numbers skyrocket....That still won't be the size of Texas in land area...That's an extra 6 million black folks however you want to slice it.

You don't even have to add entire states.

Georgia + Jacksonville, FL + Charlotte, NC + Birmingham, AL >> Texas Black population with less geography and driving distance between them.

I daresay that North Carolina is the "blackest of the blackest" states.

Not only is it Top 10 population and percentage wise, but it sits centrally between the millions of blacks in the Northeast and Southeast states. To top it off it has 10 HBCUs, 1st or 2nd in the country.

I agree with this. North Carolina is highly slept on as a state for Black people.

Georgia and North Carolina are great states for Black people. As you mentioned, plenty of HBCUs and other university options serving as a pipeline for Black talent to enrich the cities in those states.

My point is, the area im talking about has over 3.5 million black people in the size of what is Georgia now. Texas has four major cities, but only two of them have large a black population.

Not necessarily true. Most of Texas black population lives in East Texas and the Texas triangle. Greater Houston, Dallas, and East Texas probably account for 90% of Texas nearly 4 million black people. That’s less then the distance between Charlotte, Jacksonville Fl, and Birmingham Alabama. A lot more black movement and events between Houston and Dallas than the movement between those southern cities.

Imagine breaking up Texas and Cali and those larger states into states the size of those in the southeast. Or combining states in the southeast to make them the size of Texas...

You break Texas down to just the Texas triangle or just the 45 corridor and East Texas, then the black percentage would skyrocket. And that’s an area the size of GA. Texas black percentage would probably jump to top 10, while barely putting a dent in the raw number of Black Texans. The rest of Texas west of Dallas, actually dilutes Texas black percentage. Because there’s a way larger rural mexican and white population in the rest of the state West of I-45 and South of I-10. Black people in Texas aren’t scattered and aren’t far away from each other. “Black Texas” is basically limited to greater Houston, greater Dallas and rural East Texas. Those 3 areas are near to each other relative to Texas overall size. Texas would be significantly blacker, if it was cut down to Georgia’s size and limited to just those 3 areas.

With that injustice system? Evidently not.

Somebody posted the actual census numbers on city data for 2020 and I don’t think Florida is above NY. All of these numbers before the actual census comes out is all guesstimates.

but let me go to city data and find the thread and post their findings here since it’s more up to date than this thread

Whoops I just check city data and it looks like the guesstimate is right about Florida

Similar to West Virginia I imagine they are all in interracial relationships and they probably have some big time get your hands dirty job out there.

I could never live in those empty states. The idea of living far from other humans gives me anxiety.

Mexicans are about to start running shyt in Dallas and Houston. They're about to turn into gatekeepers towards Black people in politics, public service, management, and customer service.

Black people in Texas are soon to meet the same fate as Black people in California.

That large number of Black people in Texas is basically just as waste. Just like it is in California. When you got Mexicans and Whites gatekeepering your fate.

As of 2020 Census, 2,799,963 of Texas' black population of 3,552,997, live in the metro areas of Houston, DFW, Atx, and SA. 78.8%. So basically yeah if you're black in Texas you're in the big cities or the East Texas sticks...

I know this is 4 years old but there's no way NC is slept on for Black folks lol

No chance in hell. I been spinning in and outta here since 2005; I've previously lived in Fayetteville and Charlotte; and I been in Raleigh for 3 years come April. Black people know about NC coast to coast now, and negroes from everywhere are moving here and have been for a quarter century---including Carib and Afro-Latinos and Africans...
