Meaning, going into 2025, halfway into the decade, these are my preliminary best cities for black people...

I'd love for this to be an open discussion. I'm open to adjustments, my only criteria is keeping this to major metropolitan areas (those with a metro of 900k+ population). Also for me, "black" means BLACK, I'm not entertaining Diaspora Wars in here...

If you disagree with an inclusion, please tell me who you'd replace said city with. You cant just say "fukk this city" šŸ¤£ I mean you can, but if my goal is to find the 25 GOAT cities for black people, you're not adding to the discussion if you don't state who you're replacing the city you want taken away with, and why...

You're gonna note some notable omissions to start with, which is deliberate and it's okay if you want those notable cities added, just say who you'd take away...

Lastly, I didn't put them in a Numerical order, rather, I separated them by region. The attached link is a guideline I used for my Top 25, but it isn't by any means an end-all, be-all...


Let's get it!
