you wouldn’t notice the quick drain in NYC because of all the black immigrants because many of the Caribbean black hoods are 90% black, but I think NYC and LA are comparable. Between the two cities the decrease for blacks since 1990 isn’t even 6%.
That's not true for either. In 1990, New York was 28.7% black, which was a population of 2,101,576. In 2017, NY is 21.8% black with a population of 1,879,876. That's a 10.5% decline in its black population in 27 years (1990-2017)...
In '10 NY was 25.5% black with a population of 2,084,659, which was only a 0.8% decline from 20 years prior in 1990. The real problem is NY has lost 9.8% of its black population in just this decade alone, and there are literally dozens of articles around the net for years that have been documenting NY's shrinking black community...
Where I will agree with you is that because there are so many blacks in NY in raw number, and so many different black ethnicities, it can seem not as noticeable. But WSJ, NYT, and a bunch of other media outlets have picked up on it:

Reverse Migration Causing Shrinking Black Population In New York, Philadelphia, Detroit and Chicago
In 1990, LA was 14% black with a population of 487,956. By 2010, the black population shrunk to 9.6% and a population of 364,092, which was a 25.4% decline in the 20-year period 1990-2010. LA has since stabilized though--->in 2017, LA was 8.7% black with 349,345 blacks, which represents just a 4.1% decline since 2010. That's a marked improvement over the drain in the 90s and the 00s. As many horror stories as we hear about blacks leaving LA (and I pointed out up thread I've had family leave LA this decade), fewer blacks are leaving LA as in years prior....
Literally more than double the blacks are leaving NY than LA (9.8% to 4.1% since 2010); essentially NY is entering its phase that LA was in, in the 90s and 00s. I'm not predicting that this is gonna be a 20-year decline for blacks in NY, but it is well-documented that blacks are leaving the city in droves...
This isn't a NY vs LA thing, what I'm trying to bring light on is the hypocrisy and misguided perception that blacks are a)leaving LA faster than other cities, which is a big lie (LA isn't even the worst declining black population in Cali), and b)that blacks have it worse in LA than in other cities...
I'm not a native Angeleno but I sort of feel that way. I spent part of my childhood there and I maintain relationships there and I always find myself defending it in intellectual convos about Black America. LA is criminally underrated, and is still a black mecca, not just because it still has one of the largest black communities, but it continues to represent black platforms on a number of levels...
Blacks
are going through it in LA, but not nearly as bad as they are upstate in The Bay, or in literally many other cities across the US. Only a handful of southern cities, mostly in the Carolinas, Texas, Florida (minus Miami, which is decimating its black population), and Nashville are booming in black population. And there are a handful of non-southern cities (Vegas, Indy, Columbus) that are attracting blacks, but in the vast majority of large cities, black populations are declining as gentrification has taken place everywhere and pushed blacks either into the suburbs or forced us to completely relocate to different states and regions...
All them spots are desolate as fukk. If nikkas gon move to the desert they might as well return to Islam too
