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 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?

Silly boy, big words have you confused?

Disproportionate is an adjective, not a noun.
disproportionate definition is to an extent that is too large or too small in comparison with something else.
"a tax cut would disproportionately benefit the rich"

You may be a bit confused by the size of the word disproportionately which was the word Jim used. Disproportionately is an adverb, not an adjective.

Perhaps Jim simply meant that the proportion of the black population that lives in urban areas is larger than the proportion that lives in rural areas?

here’s what i meant. blacks make up a higher percentage of urban areas, then they make up the general population.

blacks are about 12% of the us population, but 17% of the population or urban areas

over their heads. not over yours.

facts are racist now.

if he keeps his status in the party, will you admit you were wrong?

he was asked to speak at the Federalist Society, who already knew that he didn’t participate in any Trump schemes. what does that tell you? anything?
