When People Say "There's No Black People In LA"...

[Apollo Creed]

I've been to LA plenty of times and the % of black people as compared to the total population of the area is pitiful bruh. Even my ex wife who is born and raised in LA said as much when she moved to DFW, the first thing she said was 'it doesn't matter where we go out here you see black people everywhere.' The same cannot be said for LA like that... hell Cali in general.

You can literally go a day in the city of LA and count on your hand the number of non homeless black folks you see sometimes lol

Ain’t no black people in Los Angeles

 

[murksiderock]

Pretty sure “no black people” is in the context of their % to the greater population.

Yeah, it ain't like New York where black folks are like 20% of the pop.

Exactly

/thread

In terms of Black Predominantly community their correct

When we're talking large cities though, there's an added dimension to the conversation. 8.4% of Los Angeles isn't the same as, say, 8.4% of a city the size of Kansas City. That's still over 320,000 black people in the city of Los Angeles, there's more black people in Los Angeles than there are people period in St Louis...

It baffles me that people dont understand this, because I could take you to black areas in Los Angeles and you see nothing but black folk...

This is a city of 4 million people. Cats gotta stop talking about it like it has 400,000 people or 40,000 people...

In regards to New York, I just gave you a defined region of LA that is physically larger than every borough in New York besides one, and is blacker than every borough in NY besides Brooklyn and Bronx---->and those two themselves are really anomalies because none of the other 3 boroughs are more than 17% black...

So two things can be true: on the whole NY is much blacker; but also, there is a distinct, contiguous region of LA that is ~21% black and is larger than every NY borough besides Brooklyn...

In physical population, LA still has the 8th-largest black population in America (per '20 Census):

New York 1,795,113

Chicago 779,304

Philadelphia 625,772
Houston 510,280

Detroit 488,262
Memphis 391,951
Baltimore 349,358
Los Angeles 323,341
Dallas 301,499
Charlotte 294,703
Jacksonville 293,066
Washington 284,101
Columbus 261,987

Indianapolis 246,971
Atlanta 236,812
Milwaukee 219,192
New Orleans 209,219
Nashville 177,859
Fort Worth 177,747
Cleveland 175,532
Newark 149,309
Louisville 148,348
Boston 139,467
Kansas City 135,741
Birmingham 134,746

A city has the 8th-largest physical black community in the US but there's no black people, brehs A city has an area larger than all but one NY borough that is ~21% black but there's no black people, brehs....

Both of these things are true but you can go a whole day in LA and not see any black people, brehs.......of course you won't, if you aren't in the black areas ...

YOU ALREADY KNEW
THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT
THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES
NOT LA COUNTY
BEFORE YOU MADE THIS THREAD
BUT WENT ON TO LIST
A BUNCH OF PLACES THAT
ARENT THE CITY OF LA.

Here we have a brother who doesn't know what the word contiguous means ...

So lets start with this, ~1.25 of that ~2.555 million population, are in fact in city of Los Angeles neighborhoods. 49% of the population of this NY-borough sized region, are in the city of Los Angeles...

~309,000 of those ~538,000 black people are in city of Los Angeles neighborhoods. That's 57% of the black folk in this NY-borough sized region, are in The City...

Beyond that, there is no magic forcefield that separates the city of Los Angeles from Compton....or Inglewood...or The Gar, or any of the other adjacent cities that literally abut Los Angeles. Most of these places are just extensions of South Central anyway, and if you aren't a local you have no way of knowing if you're on the LA side or the Inglewood side of Florence, unless you're reading a "welcome" sign...

Every single area I named is contiguous, from Mid-Wilshire to Long Beach, from Long Beach to Culver, these are contiguous hoods that all bleed into each other seamlessly...

Los angles should be called Mexico part 2

 

[King]

Shut the fukk up.

This shyt is embarrassing.

I bet you’re the type of weirdo that goes on about “black and brown” bullshyt too

 

[King]

[SMOOTHBRAINED BABBLE]

This retard is talking about Long Beach as if it’s in the same city as Los Angeles.

This retard is including shyt in LA county and calling it apart of “the city” of LA.

Look up what a county is you fukking dumbass.

 

[Buckeye Fever]

when i was out there, i saw enough. More than enough

 

[murksiderock]

Shut the fukk up.

This shyt is embarrassing.

I bet you’re the type of weirdo that goes on about “black and brown” bullshyt too

Point out where you saw me do it, dummy...

 

[BigMan]

while LA has a large black population the whole city and state is single digit percentsge

Raw numbers matter but percentages matter more imo

 

[Buckeye Fever]

That 9% could be wrong. The breh in my avi was told to hang up when he was on the phone with the census bureau

 

[King Sun]

while LA has a large black population the whole city and state is single digit percentsge

Raw numbers matter but percentages matter more imo

All the black people started moving away from LA since the late 80s. When i was growing up you wouldn't see a single Mexican walking up king and Crenshaw now you would because nikkas moved out

 

[big bun]

So the next time someone tells you, "there are no black people in Los Angeles", just remember you're talking to someone who has either never been to LA period, or clearly weren't in the areas of LA where black folk live, if they went. nikkas tell on themselves...

Exactly.

 

[Dad]

It’s white people in LBC?

 

[El Bombi]

Los angles should be called Mexico part 2

Exactly

 

[murksiderock]

People stay talking outta turn about California more than any other state ...
