Blacks are the second largest minority population, following the Hispanic/Latino population. In 2010, most Blacks lived in the South (55% of the U.S. Black population), while 36% of the White population lived in the South.
The 10 States with the largest Black population are Florida, Texas, New York, Georgia, California, North Carolina, Illinois, Maryland, Virginia, and Ohio. Combined, these 10 States represent 58% of the total Black population.
Of the 10 largest places in the United States with 100,000 or more population, Detroit, Michigan, had the largest percentage of Blacks (84%), followed by Jackson, Mississippi (80%).

Well, I look at total population more than just density. Georgia has a pretty large population that is about 1/3rd black, and the NFL is 57.5% black. Football is big here, so it makes sense the state would generate a lot of pro level players.

The NBA is 75% black, and the SEC sucks at basketball other than Kentucky, which is their least black state.

Yeah, and NY state produces few NFL players. Georgia prefers football by a large margin, NY state prefers bball.

From the map it is fairly evident that southern blacks are more "rural" while northern/western blacks are more "urban."

As Medina alluded to up thread, basketball is more popular in urban areas, while football is king in rural/suburban areas.

The Columbus Public Schools had awful football, in spite of having way more black players than the suburban/rural school districts that surrounded them.

Not to hijack the thread or anything, but--oh, well, why not?--that map reminds me of this one from 1860.

It explains a lot about the events of 1860-1865.
