so it’s “racist” to say that blacks disproportionately live in urban areas?

it’s not factually correct?

you’re losing it.

so you also deny that blacks disproportionately live in urban areas, and that saying they do, is racist.

which makes about as much sense as saying that illegal immigration puts no strain on our economy, our schools, our hospitals, etc.

No, Most Black People Don’t Live in Poverty—or Inner Cities

Elizabeth Kneebone, a fellow at the Metropolitan Policy Program at the Brookings Institution, looked at numbers from the 2010 to 2014 American Community Survey and found that 39 percent of African Americans live in the suburbs, 36 percent live in cities, 15 percent live in small metropolitan areas, and 10 percent live in rural communities. That’s a noticeable shift from 2000, when 41 percent of African Americans lived in cities, 33 percent lived in suburbs, 15 percent lived in small metro areas, and 11 percent lived in rural communities.

There was a time when even more African Americans lived in urban areas: After the Great Migration, many blacks moved north for job opportunities. They were relegated to urban cores because they weren’t allowed to live anywhere else; policies such as redlining meant that they could only buy homes in certain neighborhoods, usually the places whites no longer wanted to live. In 1990, 57 percent of blacks lived in central cities, and 95 percent of blacks in the Northeast, Midwest, and West lived in metropolitan areas, according to Census data.

That has slowly been changing. Today, the majority—52 percent— of African Americans in the nation’s top 100 metro areas live in the suburbs of those regions, according to Kneebone. In 2000, the majority— 55 percent—of African Americans in the 100 largest metro areas lived in the big cities that anchor those regions.

I don't know honestly, should be easy to Google ..but that ^^ was the statement you wrote "disproportionately" and he responded with "live in poverty" and a cut and paste...he was responding to something you didn't say...as usual

i didn't say "most". I said "disproportionately".

You idiots are going to deny that blacks disproportionately live in cities, simply because I said they do?
