Default Black Men In Chicago

I have met (worked on the job with) several Black men from Chicago throughout the years. These guys always stood out even before I knew where they were from. Their behavior was different, it was like a "MAN". I asked one guy "where are you from" he said "Chicago", I noticed that he had style and he wasn't "soft",(you know what I mean). I'm used to L.A. guys. Then I met another guy years later and he stood out, too, then I found out he was from Chicago, I was thinking I should have known, my sister who travels a lot said she has noticed this when she has visited Chicago, which is frequently. Well the President is from there, at least when he became an adult and look at him. Does this city have a large "Nation of Islam" following?

This caught my eye because I've lived and visited in many o' places and I have noticed that the professional black men in/from Chicago have "swagger", if that's what you mean. Clean cut, intelligent, attractive. Now you lost me after the "Nation of Islam" part....

There are an estimated 20,000 Nation of Islam members in the country. There are what, over a million blacks in Chicago. If the entire group was in Chicago, they'd be less than 2% of the population.
