Exactly. And I bet it wouldn't even be black people who would be the ones offended just by listing states like he did for other ethnicities, it'd be lame ass white people getting offended on behalf of others, like it always seems to be lol
This popped up on my feed. I found it particularly interesting as I graduated from Tuskegee when it was an “Institute”. That 5,000 person count is mostly the student population. And I lived in MD, a lot of us were/are federal government employees. Current events and amenities also factor into the ethnic populations in different areas. This video is what it is all about. Thank you. Sharing factual information and having a conversation about it. I just wish people would also realize that talking with others who have a different perspective should be a learning experience, not a fight. I’m subscribing!
As a black women who has been watching you for years, please keep doing what you are doing Briggs, I love your videos and I use the information you put out. Ignore the trolls.
I think the "trolls" are mostly the wannabe-woke people who automatically get offended when they see "blackest states" and assume it's racism. They seem to overlook the fact that some people might WANT to live in majority-black states for any number of reasons, so this video would be helpful to them. It's always funny when the people trying hardest not to be racist end up being the most racist.
No one cares about your identity. Just make your comment and move on. Comments stand by their own merit NOT by who says it. Nothing you said has any more or less validity based on how you identify. You could cut out the whole "as a black woman" part and your comment would still get the same point across.
@@simmsive71is its just plain true. We have been socially engineered to divide ourselves into different arbitrary groups which only serve to pit us against one another. Never forget that we are ALL ONE. We are, all of us, HUMANS. Those who hold the real power want us distracted and fighting amongst ourselves. Dont buy into the propaganda. Just say what you have to say. We are all one.
If anyone is ignorant, it’s the people that let the democrats segregate skin color. Churches, Neighborhoods, Smart TV categories, and Wikipedia telling how many different colors of the rainbow live in one place is the first step to bringing back the Segregation Laws brought forth by IGNORANT democrats.
@traviswilson36 shut up lol this isn’t a racist movement I’m simply trying to stop people from being segregationalist and telling everyone that skin doesn’t matter and ancestry is retarded.
Who could possibly be offended by this? Another very nice informative video. Keep up the great work. No need to tip toe around race, ask questions and talk about it, it won't be uncomfortable after that. There will always be people looking for a reason to be upset. We just can't allow their insecurities stop the rest of us from moving forward.
I like ALL of Brigg's videos, been watching him for years. His military experience provides good insight into the places he's traveled, cost of living, education ...from there you make your own decision. I recently moved and definitely hit up Brigg's channel just to hear "things to consider". He's informative, he gives you the numbers without nonsense but a sense of humor. I get worn out on politics, trolls etc. Sometimes, you need a good Briggs video. Good job Briggs. 🙋🏾♀️
As a white guy in coastal Texas, thank you for all you do. Shame we have to tiptoe around certain topics, simply to have a conversation about historical places, facts and stories. Keep up the good work.
This channel is awesome. Thank you for this video. As a black Maryland resident, I can give you a bit of insight; the 4 towns you mentioned are all in Prince George’s county (a majority black population and the wealthiest black population in the country) but those 4 towns also all border each other. Thanks again and keep up the great work
I am a white Harford County redneck and I used to travel to PG all the time for work. Black folks treated me awesome there! Love PG!! But Montgomery not so much. The rich, white liberal snobs don’t like me much! Lol.
As a White man who grew up in SE DC, I couldn't agree more with your statement. I remember when the Dixie Pig on Marlboro Pike would have country music & the Village Barn near Andrews would have square dances. Forestville was little more than farms then. Unfortunately, it turned into a pit after angel dust & crack became widespread. Sad
As an Escapee of PG County it wasn't a positive place so my generation fought their way out, died or cracked out.. The swarming technique was always used by the rollers..😎
I’m from Indiana and I’m telling you, the first time I went to Mississippi, it was a culture shock! I’ve never seen so many black people in one area unless it was a club or an historically black/redlined area.
Most towns and cities in the deep south or majority black, some people don't know that. I'm from Georgia and I live in a 72% black town and the towns surrounding my county is over 60% black as well. It's very black down here in the deep south.
This was very informative. I find it interesting that politicians and people who think they have better ideas about where people want to live insist that all cultures want to live together. While learning about and even embracing traditions of other cultures people often self segregate i.e. Chinatown or the Italian or Polish sections of cities. It's just not unusual for people to want to be with others who have similar cultures.
Wow! I imagine you had a unique life growing up in Alaska. I’ve heard a lot of good things but topping the list is the extreme cold. I can handle the cold for a visit but to live, not so sure about that.
As a Black American man, it's a shame that you have to tip toe around and put disclaimers in a video like this. As usual, this is an excellent video. On the note you mentioned about Market Streets and if there's any major city without one. If by major city you mean over 100k people then yes I know of at least one; Berkeley, CA. What's interesting is that it very easily could have a Market St. as there's a Market St. in Oakland but when it crosses into Berkeley, it turns into Sacramento St.
@@Hogtownboy1 No. Sacramento is 95 miles from Berkeley in a different metro area. There is also an Oregon Street in Berkeley and it does not end in Oregon.
@@ShonnMorris oh okay here in Ontario we have a street in Toront called Kingston Road if you take it to the end you are in Kingston 200 miles away where its name becomes Montréal road on it way to. You guess it Montreal another 156 mil s away. It was quite common back on n the day to do this that is why i guessed wrongly. I should have noticed that it would s a street and not a road
This video got HOME on my mind. I grew up in Arkansas and I’d drive across the river to Memphis. The food, culture and art seriously sold me on Memphis and Tennessee. I met a lot of real friends there that are like family to me to this very day. I loved this video- thank you for posting it.
I’m black and was living in Colorado which is extremely white and this video helped me find a blacker state to move to be with my people. Thanks for the video!

Undermid the colour you're, if you wanna be successful, you most take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to make you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You must look outward if you wanna be successful in life, Successful people don't become that way overnight. most people see at a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life too 🙏🙏🙏
you've remind me of what someone once said "The mind is the man, the poor is in it and the rich is it too". This sentence is the secret of most successful investors. I once attended similar and ever since then been waxing strong financially, and i most tell you the truth..investment is the key that can secure your family future.
Yeah investment is the key to sustaining your financial longevity but venturing into any legitimate investment without a proper guidance of an expert can lead to greater loss too
Most people of the white ethnic group aren't nearly as racist as we want to make them out to be. The most racist ethnic group are indeed black people because 99% of us were not truly educated about our shameful heritage.
Correction. The Tuskegee airmen spent their entire time in Columbus Ohio. By this, they left for war (WWII, Korea, Vietnam) from Columbus, Ohio and returned to Columbus, Ohio. They did their flight training in Tuskegee Alabama. I am not accounting for the support roles and where they received training. For those that like to poke holes or feel I didn't recognize supporting roles. For context, this is about the airmen that flew the airplanes. During this time is when Meger Evers referred to the Tuskegee airmen as the ones who started the Civil Rights movement when the Tuskegee Airmen were already in Columbus Ohio -several years after Jessie Owens won the gold medal-. Check it. They were at Lockbourne Air Force Base. Lastly, My great Uncle Brigadier General Charles E McGee passed this on to me. Thanks again fellow airborne comrade.
They trained all over. Some or maybe all received some training in SC. A friends father instructed them in something to do with radar here. The father eventually met and married a SC woman and lived out his life here. He was from NY. Fantastic group of Airmen !
Can you do a video on native american populations? I'm from Oklahoma from the mvskoke creek tribe and like to see a video about this. Thanks for reading ❤️
Hi, I am trying to talk my husband into moving to Oklahoma. We love Wyoming so much, but it has become so expensive so we left to stay with family in the east. We miss the west so much and Oklahoma has the same ideals as Wyoming but it seems better. We would be able to purchase a house and be able to have everything we want in a house. We wouldn’t be able to visit first so we are scared to make the move not knowing what it is like. How do you like living there? Any information about Oklahoma would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time. Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays!

I’m white hispanic from FL and I love black Americans… I really want to visit all of those states, specially for black American music and food!!. Thanks for the video! ❤
Hey Jimmy Briggs. Thank You for not shying away from the subject. I enjoy learning about the history watching your videos and hope you have a Merry Christmas.
I was born in Pennsylvania, but was raised in and currently live in New Castle, DE. I’ve never even heard of the African American history place you mentioned. I want to go there now. I don’t care that I’m white (Italian and British), I still want to learn more about black history.
I'm glad you separated Black and African American. I consider myself black American. My family has been in America since the early 1800's. People called African Americans should be the group who still has immediate ties to whatever country they originally come from in Africa, But have moved to America. Thanks🤙🏾
I’m not Black but I would agree. I have family and clients that are black. One client from Nigeria and he does not view things the same as a Black American. Well said sir!
The fact that you had to go on and on justifying this video and saying that talking about black people "is an uncomfortable subject for me" is just plain weird. Why would you be comfortable making videos about Asian, White and Hispanic heavy states but find some sort of discomfort when discussing "Black States" unless you feel differently about black people than the other races..? Are black people some sort of taboo subject to you? LOL Racism comes in many forms, and I would say that being overly sensitive to a particular ethnic or racial group is absolutely a form of racism too.. Sadly, the woke mob has made people with good intentions, afraid to speak any sort of truth or point out any fact. Black people are just like everyone else, most of them aren't that sensitive... its the liberal elite whites who would find this offensive.
Yea I noticed that too, it was like he was apologizing in advance to anyone he might offend. He even told a couple of self hating white jokes to make everyone feel comfortable.
@@Encourageable I haven't necessarily found that to be the case in my experience. Everyone has different opinions on different things but I've found white liberals to be the easiest to offend when discussing anything to do with race. Just my experience.
Your videos are never seen as racist to me, but extremely informative and have helped me make decisions on what state I would like to move next. I’ve learned so much from your channel, even things I did not think I needed to learn! Thank you for these and keep doing what you do!
I absolutely loved this video. We moved our family from the PNW to Virginia and almost Delaware. We absolutely love the area. Thank you for your videos.
You did a really great job with this video! Also, since you're visiting Louisiana soon you should research the capitol city of Baton Rouge. There's a lot of interesting Black History in that city beyond just New Orleans. Intersting Facts: The Baton Rouge Bus Boycott against segregated buses was in 1953 and was the first major boycott of its kind in the United States. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr consulted with the leaders of the Baton Rouge boycott for advice on his successful Montgomery Bus Boycott in Alabama. Also, the HBCU Southern University in Baton Rouge was founded by the first Black governor in American history and Louisiana native P.B.S. Pinchback.
This is all just boring to most white people. We built this country and continue to keep it thriving, period. A large percentage of the black populous just makes it more difficult to function effectively.
I've literally been a subscriber for two years and I've been waiting for this... Thank you...and also I watch a lot of travel channels and people tend to make it about politics somewhere down the line and it always shows their true colors, no pun intended, but I genuinely thank you for keeping your travel videos about travel
Very informative, one of your best videos. If I had to make a suggestion, it would be to show some footage for the cities you named. I'm curious about the states with the largest Native American populations. Maybe contrast that with Canada?
As a Delawarean, I’m always shocked to hear Delaware on any video. BUT, being born and raised here, I never noticed race to be a big deal…but now, I guess we are as slightly diverse as I remember my childhood to be. Also, thought it was hilarious to hear two of the blackest cities to be in Sussex County 😂😂
Sad to say, I've never spent any real time in your great state of Delaware. From the ATL here and just wanted to say thanks for your vids where I got just a lil taste of Delaware. I was unaware of the black culture there. Definitely on my radar now....be well. 👍
@Victoria Vaden My family and I moved to Dover,Delaware after my father passed away. We lived there for a year when I was in the first grade. We then moved to Decatur,Georgia when my mother got married to my step father. I definitely want to go back and visit Dover.
I live in NC . I always say I would love to buy a second home in Delaware closer to my family. I did a year at Del Tech back in the 90’s . Always liked Delaware
As a native Alabamian, living in the metropolitan Birmingham area I too was surprised Alabama only ranked 6th in the nation. Your segment was informative, rich in correct historical facts both good and bad- I say well done!
When you start thinking about populations and who is where, it helps (like he said in other videos) to think about who settled there first and then what people were doing there. In most larger cities, and Birmingham is certainly getting up there for the south, you are going to have larger minority populations but their families might or might not have been in the region for a long time. Places like MS, GA, LA, and parts of TX, it makes sense that the flats and deltas would have had large farm lands back in the day. AL is a unique state in that, sure it is in the south east it has hilly, almost mountainous terrain in the north and lots of sports hunting and fishing along the Alabama River, Coosa, Chatahoochie, and Mobile Bay...sure they have great farm land around Dothan and Montgomery but most of the state was doing other stuff their entire history. I do enjoy talking about the space program from AL because it surprises a lot of people.
It’s the same in Mississippi if you’re there, which is the largest producer of freshwater catfish in the states. If you’re near the coast though, go for seafood, Vietnamese and Cajun restaurants. Top Tier.
The title will prompt the comments but as a black man I approve the verbiage. It’s not derogatory. Either blackest or the most black will suffice. And for those that feel uncomfortable with “blackest,” we accept being called black or African American both are acceptable. Just don’t say negro it’s outdated and will get you looked at as a near racists or someone with lack of cultural knowledge
So respectfully and professionally done. And I love seeing all the positivity and feedback from black folks in the comments because...when discussing black people and black culture, the thing that matters far and above beyond anything else is....how do black people perceive what you've said or done. And judging by these comments, black ppl appreciate and respect the work and how it was presented. So I guess my mans is invited to the cookout! 🤣🤣 Iykyk just don't bring no bland potato salad, or chicken salad...or egg salad. Just don't bring any food if you ain't familiar with herbs and spices lmao. I would say bring some Hen-dog, but that's a stereotype. It would also be a joke. Anyways, just wanted to connect with the real ones. People are people. Our differences are our beauty and what makes life interesting here in America. Screw all the media narratives, I deal with life one on one when it comes to people, not oppositionally. Content of character, not melanin levels. Respect and love.
Very informative. I am black born an raised Philadelphia, moved from there and worked in Moab UT. I am now in Colorado, learning about new places and the way of life there , how you can survive and thrive is amazing. I really enjoyed this video.
I toured the US on a motorbike back in the 90s and found the southern states people wonderful. I will always remember going into a tiny library (think it was somewhere in Louisiana) and a very elderly black lady finding it fascinating someone from London UK was in her library and wanting to talk to her. As I did for she was incredibly interesting to listen to. There was a raw, brutal honesty about her but with no desire for sympathy. A gracious, elegant lady but as tough as they come. She quickly realised I was thirsty and then asked if I wanted some homemade lemonade - well, asked as she came in with a large glassful for me! We spoke for a while and the lemonade I can still taste decades later, it was so, so good. Have never forgotten her, is hard to explain but just a simple meet and talk with this lady and her wonderful hospitality has stayed with me since.
The south isn’t segregated. It just had the most slaves in the country because there was a lot more jobs for them to do and the former slaves had kids and now they have descendants.
@@zeged34 i meant that although these states are only 28 percent to 33 per cent African American they have towns over 90 per cent black. It seems pretty segregated to me.
Thank you! i am 45 yr old black american who loves your content, but was always afraid to ask you if any of these states with all the wonderful things, safe for a person like me. Who is single, with a Jack Russell, and want to live on my land in peace.

I love your channel! I'm surprised you didn't mention Aaron Neville on who came from New Orleans! Also, can you please do a video on the Gullah Geechee from the Southern Atlantic Islands!? Please! They have kept the most African ways of life here in America after all these years. They even have their own language. Sadly their land and culture is disappearing........ Also, I can't find how they fared during the last hurricane 😕.
Not sure there would be a demand for this, but I’m interested in the top 10 states that aren’t predominantly any race, those with a distribution similar to the US average. For most people this is probably too generic of a topic, but it’s interesting to me because I think the 2 states where I’ve lived, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts would end up on this list. I haven’t seen the top Hispanic or Asian state videos yet, but also suspect some of the states at the bottom of those lists would also end up on this list. I see these states as having multicultural urban areas and predominantly white rural areas. Pennsylvania would probably be number 1.
So, taking a less-than-painstaking glance, if I had to put money on a state, Illinois would be the state that most closely mirrored the national average. "Most" even distribution looks to be Nevada, though you could make a case for Georgia, most diverse gene pools might be New Jersey or New York (New York is kind of a mess because NYC is SO diverse and upstate NY is SO white that I think it's truly its own thing).
In Virginia from Charlottesville down to the Hampton Roads area is multi cultural. The Blue ridge mountains aren’t as diverse. The good thing about Va. is from the beaches to the mountains is only a 3 hour drive . Hampton , Va. is the oldest English speaking city in the country. Langley Air Force Base is the first air field in the country. Hampton University as well as Norfolk State are two very prominent historical Black universities in the country. History is rich in Virginia. If you haven’t been , please visit some time .
If they want to leave....sure. A lot of my southern fam (which is lol 95% of my huge family) including the ones that are comfortably upper-middle like where they are at tho.
"Make your own channel, it's a lot of fun," he says. It's also so a WHOLE lot of work. But Briggs and Simon Whistler are the two that gave me the idea for my channel, I won't mention its name here, and they do a fantastic job. Great video as always!
I can’t help adding something after reading a bunch of comments. In 2010 I went on a AAA tour in Egypt. I was in the white upstate half of the group, and the other half was a bunch of retired black female teachers (with a few young female relatives) from downstate NY. I hung out mostly with the black ladies who were more fun. When we got on an Italian Nile River cruise ship in Luxor, and were among Nubians (black Africans) all the way to Aswan, I was amazed. The Nubian guys kept calling up to the young black ladies wanting to marry them so they could get to America. I’ve never been so impressed about how much all Americans (regardless of color) are alike, and how distinct we are from people in other cultures.

@@xisotopex Real estate brokers have been doing that for years and it still is going on to this day. Banks were even in on some of the nonsense until the Federal government had to step in.
Arkansas is probably well explained by a combination of late economic development in the antebellum era and having a lot of terrain that's just not suitable for plantation agriculture. Basically lots of hills and a western location without coastal ports. I didn't hear the percentage for Arkansas mentioned in the video, but it's roughly 15%, compared to 12% for the country as a whole.
2/3 of the state is farmland suitable for cotton crops. It has coastal access ports in little rock and along the Mississippi. The late economic development is probably the most accurate. That place was poor then and is still that way and the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few families.
My Dad is in an interacial relationship. When he bought land in North Carolina with the intention of building a house there he brought his girlfriend to tour the area with him. He invited her to live with him down there but she said that she wouldn't feel comfortable being there, not enough people of her own race lived in that area. It bummed my Dad out but it's understandable why she didn't want to live there. When you are the only person of your race in an area you stand out whether you try to or not. Sometimes you just want to be where you feel you belong and part of that is being around people who look like you and live a similar culture to the life you live. I think that these videos focusing on where the highest densities of each race live are useful to those of us who want to vacation or live in spots where they feel like they belong in. I don't think it's racist or bigoted most of the time but just want to not feel like they are always being watched simply for being different. That's just my thoughts on why these videos should be told, people are genuinely interested in where the largest majorities of "their people" are living across the country.
I feel like some of us just love stats. I understand some people what to feel "comfortable" but at the end of the day, what we dread the most can literally happen anywhere while what we love the most can be where we least expect it. ❤️
These videos aren't really useful in the way you described. The guy making them is just repackaging statistics he mined from places like the US Census. It's for entertainment, not research.

So glad to see this video. I am a black woman and was hoping you would cover this. Please don’t let the ignorant people stop you. This was good
1960’s: Republicans stop segregation. 2020’s: Democrats promote segregation.
If anyone is ignorant, it’s the people that let the democrats segregate skin color. Churches, Neighborhoods, Smart TV categories, and Wikipedia telling how many different colors of the rainbow live in one place is the first step to bringing back the Segregation Laws brought forth by IGNORANT democrats.
Black is wack!
@traviswilson36 shut up lol this isn’t a racist movement I’m simply trying to stop people from being segregationalist and telling everyone that skin doesn’t matter and ancestry is retarded.

You present information without judgment. Much appreciated.
Who could possibly be offended by this? Another very nice informative video. Keep up the great work. No need to tip toe around race, ask questions and talk about it, it won't be uncomfortable after that. There will always be people looking for a reason to be upset. We just can't allow their insecurities stop the rest of us from moving forward.
A lot of white folks are uncomfortable talking about other races because they haven't spent a lot of time around them. It's very easy to tell.
Who? White woke girls.

I like ALL of Brigg's videos, been watching him for years. His military experience provides good insight into the places he's traveled, cost of living, education ...from there you make your own decision. I recently moved and definitely hit up Brigg's channel just to hear "things to consider". He's informative, he gives you the numbers without nonsense but a sense of humor.

As a White man who grew up in SE DC, I couldn't agree more with your statement. I remember when the Dixie Pig on Marlboro Pike would have country music & the Village Barn near Andrews would have square dances. Forestville was little more than farms then.

This was very informative. I find it interesting that politicians and people who think they have better ideas about where people want to live insist that all cultures want to live together. While learning about and even embracing traditions of other cultures people often self segregate i.e. Chinatown or the Italian or Polish sections of cities. It's just not unusual for people to want to be with others who have similar cultures.

As a Black American man, it's a shame that you have to tip toe around and put disclaimers in a video like this. As usual, this is an excellent video. On the note you mentioned about Market Streets and if there's any major city without one. If by major city you mean over 100k people then yes I know of at least one; Berkeley, CA. What's interesting is that it very easily could have a Market St. as there's a Market St. in Oakland but when it crosses into Berkeley, it turns into Sacramento St.

My guess is that if you travel to the end of the old Sacramento street you would end up in Sacramento. Was there ever a Farmers Market in Berekley ?
@@dmaextraordinaire8205 Perhaps there is something wrong with this sort of a climate🤔
@@Hogtownboy1 No. Sacramento is 95 miles from Berkeley in a different metro area. There is also an Oregon Street in Berkeley and it does not end in Oregon.

Undermid the colour you're, if you wanna be successful, you most take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to make you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You must look outward if you wanna be successful in life, Successful people don't become that way overnight. most people see at a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life too 🙏🙏🙏
you've remind me of what someone once said "The mind is the man, the poor is in it and the rich is it too". This sentence is the secret of most successful investors. I once attended similar and ever since then been waxing strong financially, and i most tell you the truth..investment is the key that can secure your family future.

Correction. The Tuskegee airmen spent their entire time in Columbus Ohio. By this, they left for war (WWII, Korea, Vietnam) from Columbus, Ohio and returned to Columbus, Ohio. They did their flight training in Tuskegee Alabama. I am not accounting for the support roles and where they received training. For those that like to poke holes or feel I didn't recognize supporting roles. For context, this is about the airmen that flew the airplanes. During this time is when Meger Evers referred to the Tuskegee airmen as the ones who started the Civil Rights movement when the Tuskegee Airmen were already in Columbus Ohio -several years after Jessie Owens won the gold medal-. Check it. They were at Lockbourne Air Force Base. Lastly, My great Uncle Brigadier General Charles E McGee passed this on to me. Thanks again fellow airborne comrade.
They trained all over. Some or maybe all received some training in SC. A friends father instructed them in something to do with radar here. The father eventually met and married a SC woman and lived out his life here. He was from NY. Fantastic group of Airmen !
There was some serving in Italy in 1944.

The fact that you had to go on and on justifying this video and saying that talking about black people "is an uncomfortable subject for me" is just plain weird.
Why would you be comfortable making videos about Asian, White and Hispanic heavy states but find some sort of discomfort when discussing "Black States" unless you feel differently about black people than the other races..? Are black people some sort of taboo subject to you? LOL
Racism comes in many forms, and I would say that being overly sensitive to a particular ethnic or racial group is absolutely a form of racism too..
Sadly, the woke mob has made people with good intentions, afraid to speak any sort of truth or point out any fact. Black people are just like everyone else, most of them aren't that sensitive... its the liberal elite whites who would find this offensive.
Yea I noticed that too, it was like he was apologizing in advance to anyone
he might offend. He even told a couple of self hating white jokes to make
everyone feel comfortable.
It’s because a lot of black people are hypersensitive when white people start talking about race. Every little thing gets misinterpreted as racism.
@@Encourageable I haven't necessarily found that to be the case in my experience. Everyone has different opinions on different things but I've found white liberals to be the easiest to offend when discussing anything to do with race. Just my experience.

I absolutely loved this video. We moved our family from the PNW to Virginia and almost Delaware. We absolutely love the area. Thank you for your videos.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You did a really great job with this video! Also, since you're visiting Louisiana soon you should research the capitol city of Baton Rouge. There's a lot of interesting Black History in that city beyond just New Orleans. Intersting Facts: The Baton Rouge Bus Boycott against segregated buses was in 1953 and was the first major boycott of its kind in the United States. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr consulted with the leaders of the Baton Rouge boycott for advice on his successful Montgomery Bus Boycott in Alabama. Also, the HBCU Southern University in Baton Rouge was founded by the first Black governor in American history and Louisiana native P.B.S. Pinchback.
This is all just boring to most white people. We built this country and continue to keep it thriving, period. A large percentage of the black populous just makes it more difficult to function effectively.
Good deal

As a native Alabamian, living in the metropolitan Birmingham area I too was surprised Alabama only ranked 6th in the nation. Your segment was informative, rich in correct historical facts both good and bad- I say well done!
When you start thinking about populations and who is where, it helps (like he said in other videos) to think about who settled there first and then what people were doing there. In most larger cities, and Birmingham is certainly getting up there for the south, you are going to have larger minority populations but their families might or might not have been in the region for a long time. Places like MS, GA, LA, and parts of TX, it makes sense that the flats and deltas would have had large farm lands back in the day. AL is a unique state in that, sure it is in the south east it has hilly, almost mountainous terrain in the north and lots of sports hunting and fishing along the Alabama River, Coosa, Chatahoochie, and Mobile Bay...sure they have great farm land around Dothan and Montgomery but most of the state was doing other stuff their entire history. I do enjoy talking about the space program from AL because it surprises a lot of people.

Great job on the video. I was raised in Tuskegee Institute, now living in Maryland. This video is very informative and accurate.
I just came across this series, but I see this as a guide on USA food tourism! Adding TN fried catfish to my food bucket list now!

The title will prompt the comments but as a black man I approve the verbiage. It’s not derogatory. Either blackest or the most black will suffice.

So respectfully and professionally done. And I love seeing all the positivity and feedback from black folks in the comments because...when discussing black people and black culture, the thing that matters far and above beyond anything else is....how do black people perceive what you've said or done. And judging by these comments, black ppl appreciate and respect the work and how it was presented. So I guess my mans is invited to the cookout! 🤣🤣 Iykyk just don't bring no bland potato salad, or chicken salad...or egg salad.

I toured the US on a motorbike back in the 90s and found the southern states people wonderful.
I will always remember going into a tiny library (think it was somewhere in Louisiana) and a very elderly black lady finding it fascinating someone from London UK was in her library and wanting to talk to her.
As I did for she was incredibly interesting to listen to. There was a raw, brutal honesty about her but with no desire for sympathy. A gracious, elegant lady but as tough as they come.
She quickly realised I was thirsty and then asked if I wanted some homemade lemonade - well, asked as she came in with a large glassful for me!
We spoke for a while and the lemonade I can still taste decades later, it was so, so good.
Have never forgotten her, is hard to explain but just a simple meet and talk with this lady and her wonderful hospitality has stayed with me since.

They have kept the most African ways of life here in America after all these years. They even have their own language. Sadly their land and culture is disappearing........ Also, I can't find how they fared during the last hurricane 😕.
Not sure there would be a demand for this, but I’m interested in the top 10 states that aren’t predominantly any race, those with a distribution similar to the US average.
For most people this is probably too generic of a topic, but it’s interesting to me because I think the 2 states where I’ve lived, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts would end up on this list.
I haven’t seen the top Hispanic or Asian state videos yet, but also suspect some of the states at the bottom of those lists would also end up on this list.
I see these states as having multicultural urban areas and predominantly white rural areas. Pennsylvania would probably be number 1.
I’m guessing all of the mid-Atlantic and southern New England states would end up here
That would be very interesting. I like diversity. Even if he did the most diverse cities in each state or something like that.
I’m also wondering if midwestern states like Ohio, Michigan and Indiana would end up on the list
So, taking a less-than-painstaking glance, if I had to put money on a state, Illinois would be the state that most closely mirrored the national average. "Most" even distribution looks to be Nevada, though you could make a case for Georgia, most diverse gene pools might be New Jersey or New York (New York is kind of a mess because NYC is SO diverse and upstate NY is SO white that I think it's truly its own thing).
In Virginia from Charlottesville down to the Hampton Roads area is multi cultural. The Blue ridge mountains aren’t as diverse. The good thing about Va. is from the beaches to the mountains is only a 3 hour drive . Hampton , Va. is the oldest English speaking city in the country. Langley Air Force Base is the first air field in the country. Hampton University as well as Norfolk State are two very prominent historical Black universities in the country. History is rich in Virginia. If you haven’t been , please visit some time .
Nice video! The states with the greatest percentage of black family wealth above the state median would probably get you out of the south 😊.

"Make your own channel, it's a lot of fun," he says. It's also so a WHOLE lot of work. But Briggs and Simon Whistler are the two that gave me the idea for my channel, I won't mention its name here, and they do a fantastic job. Great video as always!
I can’t help adding something after reading a bunch of comments. In 2010 I went on a AAA tour in Egypt. I was in the white upstate half of the group, and the other half was a bunch of retired black female teachers (with a few young female relatives) from downstate NY. I hung out mostly with the black ladies who were more fun. When we got on an Italian Nile River cruise ship in Luxor, and were among Nubians (black Africans) all the way to Aswan, I was amazed. The Nubian guys kept calling up to the young black ladies wanting to marry them so they could get to America. I’ve never been so impressed about how much all Americans (regardless of color) are alike, and how distinct we are from people in other cultures.
So why assume a label that doesn't fit?

@@wraynephew6838 No there is nothing wrong with it. You ever heard of white flight? It's because whites left knowing what the neighborhoods were turning into...I don't blame them one bit.
@@wraynephew6838 nobody is doing that, and if they were trying, there is no legal framework that exists in this country that would support such an action.... BUT, that sort of thing DID happen in this country, and much long lasting harm was done to EVERYONE because of it...
@@xisotopex Real estate brokers have been doing that for years and it still is going on to this day. Banks were even in on some of the nonsense until the Federal government had to step in.
Arkansas is probably well explained by a combination of late economic development in the antebellum era and having a lot of terrain that's just not suitable for plantation agriculture. Basically lots of hills and a western location without coastal ports. I didn't hear the percentage for Arkansas mentioned in the video, but it's roughly 15%, compared to 12% for the country as a whole.
2/3 of the state is farmland suitable for cotton crops. It has coastal access ports in little rock and along the Mississippi. The late economic development is probably the most accurate. That place was poor then and is still that way and the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few families.
Right….I’m from Little Rock, Ar and I’m a Trucker, and as Much as I Want Arkansas on this List, it didn’t surprise me.
This channel is golden.
Cheers to your quest to hit 1M subs.
Heads up:
Don't ever apologize, for being yourself.
I'm black and i am proud.
I'm eating the deep dish pizza right now briggs. muahahahhaha
I have been in Chicago for almost 2 years now. No idea why I haven't tried it out yet. Only heard good things about it. Think I'm afraid of its size.🤔
@@shreyansdoshi yeah that's good thing about chicago, but people and the media make it out like it's major crimes and death daily.
Mr. Briggs, keep doing what you do. There are more with you than against you.
I'm black and it's sad that ANYONE would cry racism because they are simply uncomfortable. Great informative video bro
“I’m so white I have 3 different jars of mayonnaise in my fridge and 2 different friends named Blaine” 😂

Thanks for uploading
My pleasure
Thanks for making such great videos
As a black chick living in Oregon - from Oakland CA
This is really appreciated
My Dad is in an interacial relationship. When he bought land in North Carolina with the intention of building a house there he brought his girlfriend to tour the area with him. He invited her to live with him down there but she said that she wouldn't feel comfortable being there, not enough people of her own race lived in that area.
It bummed my Dad out but it's understandable why she didn't want to live there. When you are the only person of your race in an area you stand out whether you try to or not. Sometimes you just want to be where you feel you belong and part of that is being around people who look like you and live a similar culture to the life you live.
I think that these videos focusing on where the highest densities of each race live are useful to those of us who want to vacation or live in spots where they feel like they belong in. I don't think it's racist or bigoted most of the time but just want to not feel like they are always being watched simply for being different. That's just my thoughts on why these videos should be told, people are genuinely interested in where the largest majorities of "their people" are living across the country.
I feel like some of us just love stats. I understand some people what to feel "comfortable" but at the end of the day, what we dread the most can literally happen anywhere while what we love the most can be where we least expect it. ❤️
These videos aren't really useful in the way you described. The guy making them is just repackaging statistics he mined from places like the US Census. It's for entertainment, not research.
@@userer4579 Segregation is a normal human trait, people want to be around like minded people with similar traits
@@notorioustoriShit, right. 90% of serial killers are white. A good 6% are black, 4% other.
@@johnswanson3741Segregation is definitely not a normal human trait. Plenty of diverse cities/towns/neighborhoods in the US that are doing just fine and are normal. Segregation maybe common in some places in the US, but it isn’t normal.
Thank you for this most informative video I was so impressed I shared this video!!!
Memphis, Tennessee has the highest black population of anywhere I've ever lived. Some of the BEST food I've ever had! (not just barbeque, but that too)
I loved midtown Memphis when I lived there. Especially central gardens! Just beautiful. I don't like the song "Walking in Memphis", but I did a lot of walking in Memphis, and I loved it! 😂
Thanx for visiting 🤝🏽💯
That’s the unfortunate thing about it. That’s why it’s a ghetto, dirty shithole. Plus, you can find good food EVERYWHERE, not just Memphganistan. Plus, midtown is not special. Plus, nobody cares you lived in the septic tank of TN

They use to have the best strip clubs in the 90’s
@@donc6781 No they didn’t
Thank you for being inclusive by making this video. I can tell in moments, you sound really uncomfortable but believe me, you did a good job handling this task. Good job!
Great video! I don't care what color you are, it is so important to learn other cultures. Wether people want to accept it or not most of the people in this country are immigrants. I guess I'm one of those strange people, that actually loves all people no matter where they're from. We need to learn more about each other Noone is better than anyone else, period! You go Briggs ✌️
Best comment!!! I agree with everything you mentioned here!
@@Tamytutu81 Thank you! I mean it with all of my heart!
Spoken like a true brainwashed gen z who was brainwashed by the govt school system. There are plenty of ppl. Who are far better than others because they made decisions that keep them out of jail, enriched their education, and many other things that allow them to be head and shoulders over most ppl. Ano one of those is the great accomplishments of Donald j trump who since 1975 continues to be more awesome than about 99+ percent of most ppl. You would call heroes who are in and out of jail. Your philosophy is so flawed it's sad.
you did a good job with this one. handled respectfully and lots of cool info here 👍🏾
As a Canadian woman, I would like to share that we also have black people in Canada. Too many times, I have heard the most ignorant questions and statements from my beloved US neighbours, whenever I travel to the States. One recurring is, "Y'all have black people up there???" *facepalm* Yes. We do. Not just Drake (although he is half-black, half white-Jewish).
Black people in Canada are Just 3% thats very few compared to the Usa most minorities i see in Canada are chinese and indians not Black
@@francoisdaureville323 À Toronto et Montréal, nous avons beaucoup de citoyens de toutes les origines, incluant haïtienne, d'autres antillaise, les africains, etc. Dans d'autres villes aussi.
@@orchidtreasure1484 Oui, mais on parle de tout le Canada, pas de certaines régions spécifiques. J'ai visité et voyagé partout au Canada et le nombre de Noirs que j'ai vus a été relativement très faible ici au Québec. Vous en voyez de temps en temps. temps mais en général ce n'est pas si courant comme aux états-unis
