Atlanta, DC and Houston are the first cities that come to my mind. I strongly recommend against any west coast metros including Seattle and San Francisco. Most of these places don't have any significant African American populations and contrary to public opinion that these are very liberal areas, I felt that there was a very strong bias against African Americans in these areas, it might be because of the lack of exposure to AA culture compared to East Coast or Southern MSAs.

I agree. I felt like an outcast in Seattle and San Francisco. I like Seattle to visit though. It is a very interesting city for sight seeing, not as run down looking or dangerous as San Francisco. To be a liberal place, San Francisco was not accepting to outsiders and made fun of my accent and clothes. As a professional black woman, I would never choose San Francisco. Culturally, is the worst of extreme liberalism and I am liberal.
As for a smaller metro area that I would put an asterisk next to due to formerly being in the NYC metro from 2013-2018 is the Poughkeepsie-Newburgh-Middletown area of NY. Very integrated metro with a substantial black population, with the lowest black-white per capita income gap among top 100 metros in population with at least a substantial black population and a relatively high black median household income, that train access to NYC via the Metro-North. Would personally suggest school districts like Pine Bush, Spackenkill, Valley Central and Wappingers Falls, among maybe a few others that are good with at least a decent black student population and a good mix of students, in general.

I think that shows a lack of exposure and sophistication on their part.

Yeah I think the city in the West with the largest black population percentage wise is Las Vegas at 12%.
Memphis isn't that bad and generally gets somewhat a bad rep.
Memphis isn't even the best city for blacks in it's own state, nor one of the best cities for blacks in the South. Certainly it isn't close to one of the greatest black cities in the country...

San Francisco is the worst city for black people in the entire United States. It's a racist cesspool of fake woke liberals. **** San Francisco, that city is garbage and has no concern for anything socially or culturally important to black people...

This doesn't mean much, and for the record, Las Vegas is 11.3% black with ~252k black residents:
Los Angeles still remains the black capital of anywhere west of Texas heading into a new decade, for more reasons than I have time to list right now. You can talk about black percentage but its physical black population is still Top 10; there aren't ten stronger cities for b li lack people in the US and anybody who thinks there is hasn't spent enough, if any, time in Black LA...

Atlanta
DFW
