"Middle America" outside of the cities and not including the southeast is virtually all white folk
13% of the population is not a significant amount. With that being said, I don't believe it either blacks gotta be at least 25% of the population. Every city that I know of over 200K people has a "black side" of town. All them little hick towns in the South be full of black. In Illinois, a few of the small towns I've been to that had hella black folk:
Sterling, IL
Champaign, IL
Decatur, IL
Rockford, IL
Waukegan, IL
Carbondale, IL
I could go on and on. Black folk are everywhere, plus in major metro areas such as DC, Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, LA, Oakland, Charlotte, Philadelphia, Baltimore, blacks gotta be the minority-majority. I don't get how blacks in Chicago are a minority where damn near all of the South Side is black
That would be like saying Vancouver is 13% Asian
I remember going to cotdamn Buffalo, NY and being like
upstate NY is hood too! I'm not saying black folk are half of the country, but man it gotta be at least 25%. AT LEAST
