2018 SCOTUS cases

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

But I liked how it was libertarianism with twist of hippie love.

The next time we have coffee I'm going to kick you right in the balls

In today's political climate you're committing business suicide excluding some group of people.

It'll get around on social media that you're a bigotry-filled, bigoted bigot-bigot and then you're in deep poop.

Why would you want to exclude any group of people (based on race, sexuality, religion) from your business?

Who cares? It's their business they can run it however they want to and that includes running it into the ground.

I charge liberals more when I bid jobs. Always have, I figure they like taxes so much I am going to implement one on them that benefits me. If they don't like it they can go elsewhere.

There is something "off" about that source. Like for instance as soon as I saw it I knew that there is no WAY New Orleans is only 35% Black. That's a majority Black city. So I went directly to the Census Bureau and it has "Black Alone" making up 59.8% of the population of the city (https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/ ... /PST045216).

Whatever is going on with that "blackdemographics.com" source, I don't think it's accurate.

Regardless of how off or on that list is... Seattle is white
and if the Metropolitan area of Seattle has every 1-20 peoples being black
that's low for a Major Metro in USA

Well, the metro area was reported at 5.7%, so that’s about 1 black for every 17.5 people. And the metro drags the city # down. City was reported at 7% black, about 1 every 14..

Seattle city (wiki, 2012-2016 ACS) 65.7% non Hispanic white.
Seattle metro area (wiki, 2010 census) 68% non Hispanic white (which has probably dropped a couple % since 2010..

I wouldn’t call an area that is about 2/3 (non Hispanic) white as being ‘white’. When I think of areas that are ‘white’ I think of areas that are at least 80+% (non Hispanic) white..

Haven't we had a thread about the "whiteness" of Seattle? This all seems familiar.

You have to have never been in Seattle (ever) to think it's anything other than white...



Like I said we've got a sh!tload of Asians
and probably an average amount of Latino's

Mostly a lot of white folks

Wrong, I've been a # of times, mostly just near the airport. As far as downtown, I can remember twice, 2003ish (I remember there was a lot black teens/early 20s loitering near the space needle), and 2007 (stayed a night at the Hilton downtown).

Asians aren't considered white. Most people don't consider Latinos as white, although they technically are.

Sure, its 'white' for a major city/metro area, but again, I don't consider 65%-68% very white like you do. Again my definition would be in the 80+% range and up..

The airport is 10 miles south of town
and in a low rent area - there will be black folks there - some of them even have jobs

it's crazy

Oh yeah...I'll give you white.....an "angry" white.

With all that said, these are the whitest cities in America:

Billings, MT (Photos)
Springfield, MO (Photos)
Fargo, ND (Photos)
Cedar Rapids, IA (Photos)
Sterling Heights, MI (Photos)
Boise City, ID (Photos)
Sioux Falls, SD (Photos)
Spokane, WA (Photos)
Lincoln, NE (Photos)
Scottsdale, AZ (Photos)

8. Spokane, WA



Population: 212,078
Percent White: 82.0%
Percent White 2010: 84.7%
Percent Change: 0.6%

Just so we have some level of west coast represention (because Idaho doesn’t count), Spokane makes an appearance at number 7.

The white people here are angry as Spokane ranks as one of the more dangerous cities in Washington state and America.

Picked the youngest up at Cheney High School yesterday and while waiting out front in the car, marveled at the diversity.

When I was there in the 80's we had 3 black kids among 600 in grades 10-12, probably 5 hispanics, and the one asian girl who's family owned the Chinese Gardens.

My school in northern ND, had 3 Asian and 2 Hispanic kids my Senior year, among 100 in grades 1-12.

Nope, kids of the Methodist Pastor were Asian, and a Hispanic family that settled in my home town. I forgot the 2 Asian kids from the Lutheran Pastor. Out of 100 kids, 93 percent white. That's pretty good for a small town in North Dakota.

To note they only ranked the whitest cities over 100k population. They have Billings at the whitest at 86.1% non Hispanic white. There's probably at least 30 cities between 25k-100k over 90% white..

Is 25k really a city?

Maybe another mountain vs hill debate

[HI54UNI]

I love how a thread on SCOTUS cases has turned into a debate on how white a city is. Now all we need is 100 posts by JSO about how Trump sucks.

Shit yes, 25k is a city. Technically speaking wouldn't it be any towns er groups of people and residences and a few businesses that are incorporated? State's probably have definitions.

In some these parts 25K is a regional metropolis. I know cities of less than 800.

"How Many Cities Are There in the United States?

The United States Geological Survey recognizes 35,000 cities and towns within the U.S. To be recognized by the United States Geological Survey, a place simply has to have a permanent population and buildings. It does not have to be incorporated.

An unincorporated place is usually a location with a permanent population of less than 5,000. According to City Mayors, there are 19,429 municipal governments in the United States. Only those areas large enough to incorporate have municipal governments, so the amount of cities and towns in the United States large enough to incorporate is just under 20,000. If cities are counted based strictly on the population definition for a city, which is generally a place with 10,000 or greater permanent residents, then the number changes again. All municipalities with permanent populations between 5,000 and 10,000 must be removed. According to the United States Census Bureau, the number of towns or municipalities with fewer than 10,000 residents is about 31,000. That would mean that of the 35,000 cities and towns recognized by the United States Geological Survey, only 4,000 of them actually qualify as cities based on the term "city" as defined by population. It is estimated that about half of the United States population resides in a city or town with fewer than 25,000 people."

Cool. Never considered somewhere like Boone, NC to be a city. Always thought of it as a decent-sized town. Much less far smaller places.

The "city of Boone" still sounds weird to me, but I'll allow it
