Didn't realize Greater LA still had 1million black ppl. Makes sense, considering how many ppl migrated to the IE. Those are all still very STRONG numbers. Despite the percentages that black ppl make up.

They are good numbers. 311,000 black people in the city is still like the 9th largest black community in the US. Over a million black people in the region is also still a Top 10 black community...

Volume matters. Percentage matters more, the smaller a city is. Like, if I'm a city the size of Albany NY, which has 100,000, if that city is only 8% black, that means there are just 8000 black people in the entire city...

The smaller you are, the more our community could be muted. But a city the size of Los Angeles at 8% black is still over 300,000 black people, for context there are more black people in Los Angeles, than people total in St Louis...

Anyone who says they don't see black people or black culture in LA immediately out themselves as simply not being in the black areas when they went to LA...
