New York has a lot of black people yes but New York is too much of a melting pot outside of Harlem. In the early and mid 20th century id agree with you but New Yorkers as a whole have kinda become all mixed together. If you want a black population in a large city that sticks out with culture(positively) your answer is Chicago, Washington, and Philadelphia. Atlanta is constantly rising but I do not believe in pure culture it will be the same as those 3 due to the extreme southern culture. That's just me though
Harlem is a melting pot on it's own when it comes to being black.
If NY would've been the home of BET It might've been NY, but I doubt it, as the city is really known for its Italian, Jewish and immigrant communities.
NYC is known for much more then Italian and Jewish.
Jamaicans, Puerto Ricans and Dominicans have well established histories here.
The largest black area in NYC has the city's largest parade every labor day [no, the St. Patrick's Day parade isn't the largest. Last year's photos look festive. The Mayoral candidates all attended, too.
It may not be that way in DC yet, but the Black population in DC is shrinking annually. The city keeps getting Whiter and Whiter.
