Revealed: The maps that show the racial breakdown of America’s biggest cities By David Gardner Last updated at 5:49 PM on 25th September 2010
These are the maps that show the racial breakdown of America’s biggest cities.
Using information from the latest U.S. census results, the maps show the extent to which America has blended together the races in the nation’s 40 largest cities.
With one dot equalling 25 people, digital cartographer Eric Fischer then colour-coded them based on race, with whites represented by pink, blacks by blue, Hispanic by orange and Asians by green.

^^^^^^^ The next paragraph of the text of the Daily Mail article above the maps reads:
"The resulting maps may not represent what many might expect Barack Obama’s integrated rainbow nation to look like, as many cities have clear racial dividing lines."

^^^^ CB: This is true, and it is the effect of White supremacy. But the main divisions of the working class that prevent class unity are in (racial) residential segregation and (racial) endogamous marriage and mating. In other words, de facto , not de jure, Jim Crow still exists in the North and the South, the East and the West. "At home", the working class is majorly divided. This is what capitalism "needs".
