12704658, Whats the percentage of black folks in your town or city?
Posted by Madvillain 626, Wed Jan-21-15 04:09 PM
I live in Altadena, California. As of the 2010 census, it is 24% BLACK. Feels good, man. I can walk down to the black owned barbershop and get some coffee and muffins. I can go to the shop next door that sells nothing but African clothes, masks and goods, owned by the Nigerian homie. Can walk 2 blocks to the barbershop and talk to the big homie about the state of the black community.

All the white people here are either on that country "i don't wanna live in the big city but i know san bernadino is a shithole" or mad hippie-ish. Right next to the black owned bakery is a vegan organic shop that got that soup, kava, tea, 5-htp, kombucha, alladat. You'll see blacks in there CHILLIN

Only time I've dealt with Altadena cops is when me and my white homie were smoking a joint in the middle of the street at 2 am and a cop rolled up and told us to "take that shit to the sidewalk".

How about you? Only black on your block? You live in ATL? Your city being gentrified around you?

12704720, Charlotte has moved up to #1 on my list of southern cities
Posted by 8-bit, Wed Jan-21-15 04:41 PM
Meaning, if I was to move down south, the first place I'd investigate is Charlotte. Loved the downtown when I briefly stopped in the city last year.

Black or African American alone, percent, 2013 (a)

53.5%--City of Portsmouth

19.7%--State of Virginia







12704742, 25.5%, but I'm betting you have Hispanics who say I NO BLACK, PAPI

Which would probably bump it up quite a bit.
12704797, Temecula, CA 1.1% 1079 ppl
Posted by RobOne4, Wed Jan-21-15 05:19 PM
its probably gotten closer to 2% since the last census. I've noticed a lot more minorities moving in and the majority of them are black. But this area is still extremely white.

I rarely see people who don't look like me.

I don't have children yet but I am curious to know how growing up amongst such a diverse community of blacks impacts children.

I grew up being one of maybe two black kids in my classes.



12705321, why are ppl not putting where they live?? anyway ATL:54%
Posted by blkprinceMD05, Thu Jan-22-15 09:50 AM
my neighborhood is probably more like 80% lol peoplestown but the adjacent neighborhood, grant park, is more white/mixed so that 54% rings true

also in general because ATL is such a city where the suburbs are so tied and part of the area, it seems like its way more Black than just 54% because of all the Blk folks in the burbs
12706214, I'm in Newton County. More like 20% out here east

Posted by John Forte, Thu Jan-22-15 10:23 AM
This is why people need to be clear about whether they're talking about the city of the region. My life reflects that 26, not the 8.
