^^ Does it really need to annex? It's already EXTREMELY spread out population wise. It's more than twice the land size of Cincinnati.
That's because of Fort Jackson, which is included in the city limits. At 81.2 sq mi, it comprises about 2/3's of the size of the city. Obviously the city does sprawl, but it would be much more beneficial if the city could capture high-growth areas like northeast Richland County especially when you consider the tons of tax-exempt properties in the city.
I understand your last part of your post. But your first part could be for every city even so called chocolate city. But the city themselves (Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland) are majority black though that was as of 2000 so it probably changed for Chicago.

The Eastern seaboard from Bmore(one could argue from Philly), around the gulf to Houston, most Black Americans live somewhere in that long strip of land since thats where slavery was so prevalent.
The midwest is a different situation, but still has a very large black population. Its safe to say that almost all Black Americans live east of the mississippi and and south of and including chicago.
Not really. You'd be leaving out states with large black populations like Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, and California.

He's not talking states, he's talking area. The OP's map was zip codes. And yes, the Black Belt is largely the area of the country where the slaves lived. Despite the Great Migration, many black families have stayed close to where their ancestors "settled" (actually, were forced to live) over 200 years ago.

"Its safe to say that almost all Black Americans live east of the mississippi and and south of and including chicago."
Sounds like population to me
And the Black Belt goes west of the Mississippi (three of the four states that I mentioned previously) in any case.
