When you hear of NYC, Detroit, Chicago, LA, or Miami, you could easily pinpoint the black identity the cities represent. While there are other cities with similar proportions of blacks, they don't have black representation. Which are some you can think of?

Also, yes, Dallas-FW is not seen as an area with a large Black presence. Over one million there now and yet people hardly recognizes it as an area with a strong Black presence.

They represent 25% of the population and are by far the largest racial group after the white population. Your very own statement proves why Boston should be mentioned on this thread topic.
