Boston seems pretty white to me along with Providence, RI

While they're certainly more white than Chicago or Atlanta, Boston and Providence are not even a majority white. If you include their colliding metro areas, yeah those are super white.

Almost every city has white suburbs. But still as a city we are majority-minority

Des Moines is about 80-85% white, Cedar Rapids is probably around 90%. That's about as white as it's going to get for you for anything resembling a city in this country. Hell, most major cities in Western Europe aren't even that white.

No doubt about that but metro areas that are truly considered to have a significant African-American population have numberous suburbs where African Americans reside. (See Chicago, New York, Atlanta, Cleveland, Miami)

But I never said our metro area had a lot black people I never said anything about our metro. All I was talking about was the city of Milwaukee had a lot of black people. Miami has a lot of white people, Chi town has about the same as us (percentage wise), I know Cleveland and Atlanta have a lot of black people. I know nothing about New York though. All I was saying is that Cleveland guy put us in the same catagory as some of the whitest cities in America. When we're in fact majority-minority.

Iowa, Montana, The Dakotas, Maine, New Hampshire are all very white.
My city, Dubuque, is very, very white, I think in the upper 90%'s. It is a city of about 60,000 with a metro of about 95K.
Des Moines is a very white city as well. In the 90's.
This will all change (supposedly) though. New study shows whites will become minority by 2050.

That was me. I kind of messed up and put Milwaukee in the wrong list, i was going to put it in the one that had a higher number of blacks than most cities. I think every metro with over 500K people is majority white by far (including even Cleveland, Milwaukee, Detroit). Milwaukee does have a large number of African Americans in the city but outside of the city there is hardly any. If you look at the county of Milwaukee there is 230,000 blacks (only 10,000 more than the city) and in Cleveland the city has 240,000 blacks, but the county has 380,000 blacks (meaning 140,000 blacks live outside of the central city.)
I didnt want to mean that the city of Milwaukee is all white because its less than half white.
