Jacksonville and Oklahoma city are not very Black oriented cities.
Well that's just not true. Jacksonville (and we all know that the city includes lots of suburbs and is about 70% of the metro area) is 1/3rd black and is known for its large black population.
Now regarding the OP and best black professional nightlife...I can't compare it to any of those other cities whatsoever.
I chose Memphis because of Beale Street. None of the other cities listed have anything equivalent to it.
IMO, Detroit punches below its weight in terms of nightlife for black people (especially professionals) because it's a poorer and more working class city. It's an awesome city if you're into strip clubs though.

There is still a Black middle class in the city and in many places in Oakland County.

Beale Street is a tourist trap. It isn't where Black professionals go to party. Now there are some other places throughout the city but it's no better than Charlotte or St. Louis.

I suppose to each his/her own, and I guess it depends on how one defines "nightlife."
Having to get in your car or get on transit to hop around different parts of town because all of the spots are fragmented and hidden isn't what I would consider a good time.
That said, to be clear, choosing Memphis was simply in comparison to the other cities listed. In all honesty, none of the cities in the OP's list have a nightlife for young black professionals to write home about.

Birmingham's nightlife expands into areas outside of just Downtown, especially for Young Black Professionals. The nightlife in Birmingham attracts a lot of young black individuals from surrounding HBCU's (ASU, A&M, Skegee, etc.)

Yeah, surprisingly Birmingham’s crowd looks just as good as Charlotte’s, it’s really impressive for a metro that size. Thanks for the IG links.
Leave more about Birmingham if you can, I’m defintieky trying to hit Bham to check it out soon with respect to nightlife
