From my experience, people most would consider "black", whether Afro-American, Caribbean, African or Latino are very visible throughout South Florida. Definitely one of the more diverse black communities in the country. For people that say there are no Afro-Americans in South Florida, even Miami, they are are completely wrong. Very large, Southern black presence all over Florida, South Florida is no different.

Bohemia ?
I'm not aware of this country.

And how are they different from an average black guy ? Do the dress or act differently ? Are they more or less prone to gun crime ? Are there more or less single parent families and mothers with children of multiple father's ?

What ignorant, offensive, and racist questions. Would you ask those questions about white Americans vs. white Europeans? And yet white Americans have very high rates of gun crime, single parent families, and children with multiple fathers.

These questions have nothing at all to do with culture. Culture has to do with religion, food, music, style...

Please get some more education, read more. Also, Bohemia refers to the Czech Republic. So it IS a country, which you would know if you read more than just C-D comments.

Some of these comments are utterly disgusting.

this is a tricky definition. White Hispanics may have closer ties to their European origins than your average "white Americans"
Many white Cubans or South Americans are descendants of Spanish people that ran away from their civil war (1936). South America also received a strong European (for example, Italian) immigration between the '50s and the '60s, when they were not allowed to massively migrate to the US.

Back to the topic of black population, the decline in percentage has not stopped, however it is not due to some kind of "black flight" but to the faster growth of other groups.

African Americans have a murder rate ten times any other race or culture in this country. Violent crime even higher. If someone is looking where to settle their family, and think he's perfectly okay inquiring who his neighbors are.
Can you point to any predominately African American cities that do not have outsized rates of crime, violence, and poverty?

Bohemia is a region in the Czech Republic. In a broader meaning, it often refers to the entire Czech territory, including Moravia and Czech Silesia, especially in historical contexts: the lands of the Bohemian Crown.
