I make this poll because of how much Walter talks about how there are no blacks in Minnesota and I've never met any when there are undoubtedly more blacks near where I live and all of Hennepin county has a higher percentage of blacks than where he lives from the stats I saw. It's funny.

Even more funny was when he said he'd rather live in Oklahoma City than Minneapolis because Minneapolis is "too white and boring" when Oklahoma City is whiter than Minneapolis! LOL!

If you were to add up all the blacks BRTD and WalterMitty have met in their lives and divided by the days they've been alive to get a "black per day" average, I would have to say Walter would have the higher average being from a Southern state before moving into the Boston area, which (like most major cities) has a decent African American population.

North Dakota and Minnesota really don't offer much in terms of diversity over the course of a lifetime.

the Boston area, which (like most major cities) has a decent African American population.

Here are some urban areas that the Twin Cities urban area is larger than: Saint Louis, Baltimore, Tampa, Denver, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Portland, San Jose, Cincinnati, Kansas City.  What is your cutoff for "major"? Tongue

Other than that your post is mostly correct.  Minnesota is 12.7% non-white, while Massachusetts is 18.17% non-white, which isn't too huge of a difference.

Minneapolis is 18% black. My new apartment is in a neighborhood that's about 40% black. Walter's town is about 8% black.

North Dakota and Minnesota really don't offer much in terms of diversity over the course of a lifetime.

Which is funny because in ND I lived in an area which probably had one of the lowest white percentages of all areas that all people on this forum that have ever lived in except for probably Sam Spade and J. J.

Why are we arguing over who lives near the most blacks? It's like arguing who lives in the lower income area. I guess BRTD wins.

lolz.

well, brtd, you are right.  there arent many blacks here...and even fewer american born blacks.

but for 28 years i lived in the south and well...it is just common knowledge that the south is a hell of a lot blacker than nd.

the last job i had in nc, i was in the minority.  worked there for years.

(i hope your next thread isnt...'who has had more booze...."

So then you admit I live near more blacks finally?

(i hope your next thread isnt...'who has had more booze...."

I was thinking more along the lines of "whose neighborhood has more handgun violence?" due to comments you always make in relation toward me on this...

im not sure you live near more blacks.

the projects are within 2 blocks of my house.  i suspect a large percentage of the 8% live in those projects.

but this is pointless

First, everyone that is "non-white" is not Black. 

Second, I have you all beat with 94% percent Black (and another 2% non-Black non-white).

Is "dealing with blacks" something to brag about?

I made this in response to Walter's constant comments about how there's no blacks in Minnesota, etc. etc.

My county is 2% black, and the only black I know socially is an upper middle class Republican. The only service person I have dealt with who is black is someone who works the men's suit department at Nordstroms. He is the guy I buy my threads from.

Word. Which county are you in? I probably win when it comes to dealing with blacks, as Charleston county is nearly 40% black, although most areas are highly segregated still, except for the mall.

Orange County, California. The place has no poor black neighborhoods, and the bulk of the blacks there are middle class. Hispanics do the heavy lifting.

Ah, one of the best counties in that state. It keeps the Republicans in the race time after time.

It does sound rather perjorative, doesn't it.
