Its a reason Cincinnati didn't make the cut. That is DEFINITELY not a city a Top city for African Americans.. have you lived here before? I have for over 25 years and I must say NOT IMPRESS at all. Not one black person I've meet or know that lives in Cincinnati say this is the place to be… instead they say.. I can't wait to leave…

Hi, I just find this site and I was wondering if you could give me some info on Hawaii? I will be relocating there in Aug. I am actually inquiring about the percentage of blacks out there. I went on a housing-hunting trip with my husband last June and the place is lovely. I just really do not know much about the place, would appreciate any info and right now I'm living in Fayetteville NC.

Dallas is a ghetto and so is Houston. Read my other postings to see what's the best.

ABSOLUTELY correct! I unfortunately took a job in Cleveland, OH… and I hate it; too many ghetto Blacks. DC has the most sophisticated Blacks across this entire country. They are well educated, well spoken, well deported, and intellectual. Atlanta, Jacksonville, Houston, Detroit, Memphis, St. Louis, Raleigh, Charlotte, Nashville, are ALL ghetto… HORRIBLE! I have worked extensively in all the aforementioned cities, and I am DISGUSTED by all the IGNORANT Black Americans in these so call hotbeds for Blacks. The litmus they are using for Blacks in America is definitively NOT my standard. Wherever there is too heavy concentration of Blacks be assured much crime is not that far away and that is simply PATHETIC! Blacks in America MUST educate themselves and HALT all the negative reality due to Blacks involved in crime. It's time for criminal black Americans to STOP their nonsense. I would be hard pressed to live in any of those cities. The best balances I have found for Blacks in America from the underlined list are Indianapolis and Columbus. I also recommend Madison, WI, Omaha, NE; Des Moines, IA; and Kansas City, MO. Yes, those are my recommendations. Why? Again there are infinite opportunities and less criminal Black Americans hanging out looking to make trouble and tarnish quality Black Americans images.

Jacksonville is a CRIMINAL infested city. Do NOT encourage people to live in that ghetto city… it's DANGEROUS and it is 99% blacks making all the problems… as usual. DISGUSTING!!!

i was born in raleigh durham and now live in honolulu hawaii.
hawaii would be great if there were a mass migration of blacks here its easy to get a job and
racism is on a case by case basis. I've been able to adapt quickly.
but you know as beautiful as the weather is its hardly home I go home every year and miss the familiarity anyone who lived in ATL let me know how it is, I heard its a good place for black professionals trying to get started.

I lived in the DC area for 25+ years and the Raleigh/Triangle for over 5 years. I agree both are great cities in their own ways. Of course, DC is much larger, traffic is heavier, weather is not as nice as Raleigh (sweltering hot in the summer and brutally cold in the winter relative to Raleigh's mild year round temperatures). DC is much more cosmopolitan in terms of people and restaurants. But I find there's just as much to do in the Raleigh area…that doesn't take all day to get to and from home. You can go to a big concert at Alltel Pavilion in Raleigh and get home relatively quick and without hassle. Not the same with the DC area's Nissan Pavillion where you should plan to spend most the day there if you go. Oh, and local sports….Raleigh wins hands down with Duke, UNC, and NC State as the major universities. The locals just really get into it so much more. In DC, there's not that kinda 'fun college rivalry' and not everyone has their favorite picks. They're more into professional sports.
