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" 🤣 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!

No wonder this country is so red…. We black people really need to expand and grow in other cities…..

I'm going to North Carolina for the first time this coming June for a wedding. I think we are flying into Greensboro. I've heard good things about the state.
Greensboro is cool, you'll enjoy it. It's super black, it's like 40% black as a city but even more culturally black than that...

It, Raleigh, and Charlotte are the only NC cities I'd recommend to people...
Why don't you think Dallas is good for black people?
Don’t list the 6th largest city in the country brehs which has a high black population and an ever growing black business sector of entrepreneurs

nikka listed Albany and Connecticut :russ:
Philadelphia replaces New Haven/Bridgeport 🤣...
