This post will answer the question “What share of the USA’s Whites live ‘around’ significant numbers of Blacks?”, with ‘around’ being defined very broadly as “in the same metropolitan area”. Following will be a short discussion of what this data meant in the 2008 election, and for our society as a whole into the 2010s.
In a previous post (The Blackest Metro Areas), we see that only a small number of metropolitan areas have significant Black populations. (Specifically, of the 366 metro areas identified by Census 2010, only 22 are at least one-third Black, and 63 are over-20% Black. Only in Sumter, SC and Albany, GA do Blacks outnumber Whites, metro-wide).
First, let’s look again at the ‘Whites’ table from the post Metropolitanization By Race:
| Whites | . | . | . |
| . Size of Metro |
# of Metros | # of Whites (Non-Hispanic) |
% of Race’s Total Pop. In This Size Metro |
| 5-million+ | 9 | 33.4 million | 17.0% |
| 2-million+ | 29 | 70.0 million | 35.6% |
| 1-million+ | 51 | 90.0 million | 45.7% |
| 500,000+ | 102 | 112.7 million | 57.3% |
| 250,000+ | 184 | 132.4 million | 67.3% |
| 50,000+ | 366 | 152.4 million | 77.4% |
| Rural (<50k) | – | 44.4 million | 22.6% |
| All | – | 196.8 million | 100% |
.
152.4 million Whites live in a metropolitan area of 50,000+.
***************
Now, using the same Census 2010 data used to produce the lists “Blackest Metros” and “Whitest Metros”, we can find the following:
– 4.33 million Whites live in metros which are over 33.3% Black
– 120.9 million Whites live in metros which are less than 20% Black
– 69.2 million Whites live in metros which are less than 10% Black
– 31.4 million Whites live in metros which are less than 5% Black
– 20.0 million Whites live in metros which are less than 3% Black
***************
A further 44.4 million Whites live outside a metropolitan area, with the majority of those probably in nearly-all-white communities. (Lacking data, I will estimate that 95% of these 44.4 million non-metro Whites live in communities less than 10% Black, =42.2 million non-metro Whites live apart from Blacks).
..42.2 million Non-Metropolitan Whites
+69.2 million Metropolitan Whites
=111.4 million Total Whites Living in a Regions Under-10% Black (56.6% of the USA White Population).
Looking at places (metros and rural) with under-5% Black populations, we find that ~37% of the USA’s Whites live in one.
Few Whites Live Near Blacks
Alas, then, most American Whites do not live anywhere near any appreciable numbers of Blacks, even at the very wide scale of the metropolitan-area. Of those who do live “near” Blacks (within an hour’s traffic-free driving distance, say), they are, of course, generally segregated, with certain parts of a typical metro area heavily-Black while others are all-but-devoid of Blacks. Of those who do share a metropolitan areas with Blacks, relatively few are particularly “integrated”, to use a word by now rather quaint-sounding. Racehist cites a study which suggests that only ~4% of Whites have any Black close friends.
White Support for Obama in 2008
The above discussion can explain a lot about the workings of our Multicultacracy, and almost-certainly explains the election of Barack H. Obama.
Americans remember what a surreal time the 2008 Democratic primary season was. One commentator, David Sirota, implicitly divided the Democratic Primary electorate into three camps:
(1) Blacks
(2) Whites who live around Blacks
(3) Whites who do not live around Blacks
Group (1), of course, went overwhelmingly for B.H.Obama.
Group (2) went heavily against Obama.
Group (3) went marginally for Obama.
Thus, Obama won two types of states,
a.) Heavily-Black (Southern) states in which Blacks were often the majority of voters in the Democratic primary (as in South Carolina, where 12 Blacks voted for every 10 Whites who voted), and
b.) States with next-to-no Blacks, e.g. Idaho, Vermont, Wyoming, North Dakota, and Utah.
Obama lost almost every single state in between; that is, in which Blacks were a significant share of population but in which Whites were still a strong-enough majority that the Black Vote couldn’t simply steamroll Obama to victory. This will make more sense in visual form. I take the visual from the place I originally found it, Electoral-Vote.com:
The Race Chasm, 2008 Democratic Primary. By David Sirota.
In other words, the election of Obama, that supreme triumph for Blacks worldwide (as it was played at the time), depended on Whites. On Whites who were totally naive about Blacks; Whites who had never dealt with Blacks; Whites who did not live near Blacks; whites whose image of Blacks was shaped a lot more from the TV and so on than personal interaction.
Thus, we see something rather…odd. Namely: The integrity, dynamism, and viability of our Multicultacracy itself is dependent upon, heavily dependent upon, enough of the native population not experiencing it. All sorts of things are only possible in that way. The poetic capstone to this phenomenon was Obama’s election in 2008: Voting patterns bear out that he only won the votes of Whites who live far, far away from Blacks.
In the simplest terms:
The American Multicultacracy needs enough Whites to not experience it to survive.
Interesting. I think a lot of people have intuited that this was the case.but this verifies it.
If it’s true that Whites have to be insulated from ‘diversity’ in order for the Multicultacracy to continue, then maybe all this diversity-sowing in states like Maine and the Dakotas will actually hurt the Multicult agenda, rather than help it as the powers-that-be seem to hope.

Only in Sumter, SC and Albany, GA do Blacks outnumber Whites, metro-wide
Sumter’s Wiki: “Sumter Statistical Metropolitan Area ranks as having the 5th highest overall crime rate out of 338 statistical metropolitan areas in the United States of America.[11][12]”
Just too easy.
Sweet Statistics!
Nice job pulling this together, this would explain why so many Whites have not been “enriched” by diversity. I’ve been enriched, and consider myself to understand the Black man fairly well, and even how the Black racecar can be helped to run more properly.
Your research helps support my supposition that Whites should not be trying to run the lives of Blacks, because they really don’t understand them. It is like a pit stop team from a totally different model car caring for the Blackmobile, putting all of the brakes in wrong, and the wrong kind of fuel.
If we want America to run well, we need all of our races running at full speed. All the white liberals ever due is make the already inefficient running of the Blackmobile even worse.
One always can remember the old sooth,
“A liberal policy will have the opposite result of its intent.”
I think that is going to happen.
I can understand the liberal who is insulated from them being liberal, but I can not understand those who have experienced diversity being liberal, which is why I can’t understand why cities don’t have a naturally reversing course towards conservativism, and why people with no contact remain more conservative as they should be the ones most easily brainwashed by media propaganda.
RJP,
Your instinct is correct. The 2008 Democratic primary bears this out. The Whites with least contact with Blacks did indeed vote heavily for Obama. Whites in diverse regions voted for Clinton.
See the section of the entry above called “White Support for Obama in 2008″, especially the ‘Race Chasm’ graph.
As for why metropolitan-White pro-Multicultacracy advocates are the way they are, I’d point you to Dan Kurt’s reasoned response

re: ” I can not understand those who have experienced diversity being liberal.” rip
I grew up in a big Eastern City with plenty of Blacks and spent nearly nine years at an Ivy surrounded by Blacks. The view from the ground was that Liberals did not practice what they preached. This what I saw:
1) Bright Liberals insulated themselves from Blacks.
2) Bright Liberals did their utmost to send their children to private schools yet did also their utmost to force the proles to integrate with Blacks.
3) Whites who encountered Blacks coming to their neighborhood moved if they could. Case in point: A couple who my wife and I had been fast friends with for years split in friendship because of a ride in a taxi together. The husband and I had been post docs together. He and I carpooled for the better part of a year. We after finishing went on trips together, three that I can remember. We were Catholic and they were Jewish but religion never came up. The friendship ended at a time the four of us needed to take a cab from an Airport after returning from a trip. The cabby was ( He said he was half Jewish at one point. ) a real talker, never shutting up. As the ride took us through previous White neighborhoods that had turned Black the cabby remarked that the Jews in these neighborhoods that had changed demographically had sold out to the first Blacks to enter. As more incoming Blacks arrived houses and apartments deteriorated. Crime increased, whites fled, Blacks took advantage of decreasing real estate values to buy more and more property. This change of the neighborhood’s nature had forced those Whites that could to move. The cabby kept insisting that the Jews were the real reason as they were the entering wedge’s enablers. My friend’s wife went livid and said that the Jews were not the cause and that the Blacks were NOT the problem but poverty and discrimination was the cause of the squalor and crime and general deterioration. Her husband, a lax Jew, agreed with the cabby ( Boy did he catch hell. ) and my wife, of course, chimed in on the Cabby’s side. She is of half Irish descent, a red head from NYC and laid out her view of Jews breaking neighborhoods by selling to Blacks and Puerto Ricans. The cabby waxed on and on and the wife of my friend became so enraged she broke our friendship after that ride. I tried writing to my friend after that but never got a response from him. He was not liberal but his wife sure was. BTW, they ended up living in a lilly white Northern suburb of Philadelphia near her parents not in an inner city near Blacks. Substitute Liberal for Jew and the same holds as non Liberal Jews are in my experience were rather rare when this occurred.
4) Dumb whites and average whites generally do their most to get away from Blacks if they can.
5) Liberals remain Democrats because they can avoid much contact with Blacks if bright. Dumb and average whites remain Democrats even when they are “integrated” with Blacks because they like the ( perceived ) largess given to them by Democrats.
6) Liberals, for some reason, can live with cognitive dissonance.

Jews aren’t White.
Right on!
Only as many as want coal burner daughters and wigger sons both on drugs. Not worth it. Find a nice white neighborhood and raise your kids right.
in many german schools poor leftwinged idiots try to teach math , german and english to negros from Nigeria and elsewhere – it`s a waste of time and money – they simply do not understand . Time to find a solution – our future is in danger if negros eat our wealth – they jam schools , subways , nice areas , – negros are 100% ignorant – zombies .
Im pretty sure a similar process took place in the UK regarding votes for the BNP. White people most insulated from the multicult wouldnt vote for them at all, whites in mildly enriched areas would vote BNP somewhat. Whites in the most vibrant, enriched areas would vote BNP in quite large numbers but often it was too late – the non-white vote was too big.
This is an electoral dilemma.
Short of some kind of realignment of the franchise along ancestral lines, not citizenship lines (i.e., only those who can prove that at least three grandparents were born in-country can vote [which I think is a good idea, incidentally]), what you describe implies no electoral shift can occur.
Actually all you need is the founders’ original design; male property owners 21 and over. Conservatives win that group every time. Women are the problem. Sorry to say it as a woman, but it is true.
