    There is only one state in which all counties have at least 5% black population: South Carolina

    Which ones in Maryland don’t? *checks map*.  Oh; Garrett and Carroll. Sure, that tracks.

    Surprised about the places in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I don’t recall seeing almost any black people there the few times I visited. There aren’t many people there in general.

    I got a bad feeling about that one county in Alabama
    Edit: I mean Mississippi

    Lol wonder how long before this gets locked then removed because it doesn’t support the narrative.

  6. Cool. Milwaukee moved its city boundaries into Ozaukee county. Ironically north Milwaukee has the highest black population but according to this map they don’t exist. As far as counties go I believe it that Ozaukee County doesn’t have at least 5% black.

    This is undoubtedly counting prison population. There is no way Lassen County in far north California has 5% black people or more. They do have a lot of prisons tho, fed and state.

    it’s because i’m ignorant, but it is quite surprising to me that there are still counties in the south with less than 5% African american population. I mean, I wouldn’t exactly be rushing to go live next to some whites in rural appalachia either, but it is remarkable how long these differences have persisted. I guess not surprising though as unless you’re an impoverished scottish farmer in 1818 and free marginal land is what you need, not much of a draw.

    I’m guessing that a black person would not want to stop in that strip of white in northern Alabama/Georgia
