You have a point with Charleston; Columbia is where the largest concentration of Black professionals can be found in SC.
I should also add Newark, NJ and Jersey City. Lots of black people but lacking black professional scene. Weird because I had this theory before that Newark might develop a scene as NYC gets more pricey!
They also have a subway (The PATH) that could take them to nyc!
And to add to Miami even the Caribbean black professional end up moving out Miami. I know a few who moved to Atlanta, South Carolina and then there’s a popular Haitian girls named Jessie woo who moved to New York.
But also from my experiences talking to black people in Miami about the black experience I usually get discouraging comments.
I read it like blacks could not be professionals or it is odd for them to be professionals. Maybe it was just me because English is my second language.

Nah, that's not the implication at all. Most of the cities being discussed tend to not have as robust of a white-collar professional population overall.
The flip side of this is that there are cities with small Black populations with high percentages of Black professionals. San Jose/Silicon Valley comes readily to mind.

Oh no not at all. There are really some cities that have a poor black professional scene but successful blacks exist everywhere
This thread is going to yield a lot of Rust Belt cities, but I’m going to go the other way and name Boston. Very few cities have a black population as large as Boston’s with zero middle-class black neighborhoods, and such a small amount amount of black political power.
