U.S Cities by African-American Population

I think it was probably more interesting as a percentage.

Is it Columbus, Ohio or Columbus, Georgia?

Only missed Atlanta because I thought I'd already typed it in. I hate it when I do that.

The source is the 2010 US Census, so it counts people who self-identify as "Black or African American."

Source?? Checked wikipedia and from the top 10 cities with the highest black population, only new orleans was here

You were looking at the wrong thing bud

I only got one and gave up- thought it was US States, not cities.

lol I was shocked two cities that Ive always thought of as have racial problems werent on there, Cincinnati, and Cleveland, tho I got Columbus, I must have misspelled Cleveland ;)

African-American or any ____-American is the most racist term there is. All out in the open, staring at you in the face. Why? It's mostly, if not only, linked to 'racially profiled' people. People who used to be considered second or third class citizens now or in the past. African-, Asian-, Italian-... It's like saying you're not 'real' American, still. Wonder if many people have noticed this?

It's not like that at all. The term African American is not racist at all and the only implication it contains about whether or not the persons being referenced are real American or not is the implication that they are, in fact, fully American. (hint: it's the 2nd part of the label that says "American")
All African-Americans are also Americans. If they choose to identify some part of their heritage in addition to their American heritage that's up to them.

My nominee for extremely racist term we should all stop using: "______ of color."

person of color, women of color, men of color, chameleon of color, sure anything you want to put in there. Still a racist term.

I don't believe there is any context where it could not be racist. Dividing people up into groups according to their "race," assigning them characteristics according to that grouping that distinguish or separate them from other categories- this is racism. And the term "person of color" was designed specifically to do this. Including some and explicitly excluding others to generalize their experiences and characteristics.

and while both of these terms *could* be used in the same way, for me the key difference is that when someone chooses to identify themselves as an African-American they are trying to positively include themselves in a group. I don't personally see much need for this; however, it's quite different to identify with the label of "person of color," which instead of being just "I am like them" also necessarily and significantly identifies a group of people who do not belong - the "colorless." It's saying basically "everyone except for them." All tribal distinctions and racial labels can be problematic, but this is worse than most. And the way that the term is very often used you can see how it is being used to demean, marginalize, exclude, or minimize those who don't belong more than anything else. And that's exactly what those who coined the phrase wanted.

Just imagine that there was a term for "non-Jew" or "non-Black" and then insert that term in to any sentence you've ever seen about persons of color, read it, and see how you feel about it, and maybe you'll see what I mean.

I would have got 16/20 if I had spelled Baltimore right

Funny... judging from my stats I must have taken this quiz 5 times now. I've missed Indianapolis twice, Charlotte 3 times, and Milwaukee 4 times, never getting 100%, but those are the only 3 I ever miss. Wonder why I've got a mental block on just those 3.

Probably because Charlotte’s a forgettable town, while Indianapolis (home of John Green) and Milwaukee (too cold) are both thought of as being pretty white.
