I can't help when I see this sort of i.diocy. I become like a cat who glimpsed a cowering mouse.

Yup, Atlanta has around 14,000 Somalis spread out in the suburbs.

lol@ Volt

Save your mental punishment for those worth it. Forget the cowering mouse. Go after the fancy feast.

Waa runtaa.

According to U.S census of 2005-2007. The total total estimate of blacks in MN is 222,000(margin error -+2500). This includes everyone who puts a check or x next to black.No way can there be 100,000 somalis in MN when total blacks in MN is just little over 200k.

Minnesota - 50,000

Ohio - 30,000

Washington State - 25,000

Vriginia/DC/MD metro together - 15,000

Georgia - 14,000

Maine - 4,000

Arizona - 3,000

And a few in California, Pennsylvania....

This idiot thinks MN is known for having a large black community.

sxb thats part of it....Somalis include themselves in the black portion

I don't believe in the 100,000 nonsense but its a sizable population in Minnesota, the highest in the USA

In Maine, Somalis count for 80% of the black population.

Walle we brought diversity

Yup, we sure did. There are even Somali Bantus living in small, rural counties in Kansas & Oklahoma.

Most AAs in MN moved from Illinois in the early 90s around the same time Somalis started migrating to the twin cities.

Xaarsade why are you mad all of sudden?

When you are filing a paper work and you're asked what your race is to be what do you put down, black? In MN there are large West and central African community especially Liberians as well as native african Americans. Most of the native blacks come from Illionios.

There is a reason why I posted that. The U.S census estimated Somalis in MN to 11,000 in 2000, when 70% of somalis arrived, hence flight13. Today it's estimated a little over 40,000 and I'm being generous here since most of everything I just read estimated them to be just over 24,000. These are not my words, this is the according to the people who do this for a living. Now, if that is the case, it means ohio has even less somalis than MN therefore shuttering the maraxaar claim that there is 80,000 of majority ilka yar in the buckeye state. Emotions aside, lets see some figures and stats.

Kolombo,

Other blacks didn't see any reason to move to maine. Somalis had no choice, they were placed there. Why would anyone live in cold harsh state like MN, ohio or Maine when blacks have chicago, atl DC cetr cetra..only immigrants who had no choice.
