Yeah man, black men everywhere in America have got an awful lot in common, face a lot of the same bullshit and have a lot of the same problems.

But there are still some fundamental differences in their experiences based on nothing more than where they live. A black man in California more than likely lives around and therefore interacts frequently with Mexicans (hell, Compton & Inglewood have more Latinos than blacks). A Black man in the South is more likely to go about his daily business interacting almost exclusively with blacks.

There are very smart people who study this shit everyday, they've got a whole gang of statistics that they use to try and understand people's experiences. And no, the Census does not miss minorities, they do a remarkable job. Here are some more statistical sources:

US Census - Community Profile Page (type in your city, see the Facts Sheet)
Mumford Center Segregation Project
Racial Segregation Visual Simulator

Yeah LSU had just about the closest thing to a white RB, that power guy Jacob Hester, he obviously plays a lot of FB but he had a few carries with just him in the backfield.

That honkster from Stanford named Toby Gerhardt (dude holds all the Cali HS rushing records in a state that produced Marcus Allen, Terrell Davis, Reggie Bush, OJ Simpson etc etc etc, that shows you how much HS football stats mean). Gerhardt sucks, I wouldn't bet on seeing a white running back in the NFL anytime soon.

Really interesting topic though, race & sports. The real glaringly absent demographics are Asian Americans from all sports (all the Asian dudes in the MLB are from actual Asia except for one pitcher who is Asian American), and Latinos from football/basketball (it's changing slowly with some of the Carribbean populations playing more basketball, not Mexicans though).

What's really interesting is that although baseball is viewed as somewhat of a white sport, it is by far the most racially inclusive sport in America at the professional level. Whites, blacks & latinos are represented almost exactly proportional to their populations in the US. Asian Americans, still missing however.

Absolutely, I don't doubt that at all, of course there are black men dating all races in all cities. But it doesn't work to use only your experiences because the world is soooo fuckin huge, that's why having some comprehensive dataset to try and capture the millions of people we never will see with your own eyes.

I guarantee you, a greater percentage of the black men in SF/LA/SD are having kids w/ non-black women then the black men in Chicago. And therefore, I would guess that the average black guy in Chicago is slightly darker than the average black guy in LA.

True. Most Black men in Chicago only date black women cause Chicago is still segregated.
But I don't believe Chicago got darker blacks than LA. LA/Dago got some burnt crispy niggas just like Chicago, Philly, Memphis, or anywhere else.

The only two white RB's that I can think of who have won Super Bowls were John Riggins with the Redskins and Rocky Bleier with the Steelers. There might be more, but off the top of my head that's all I can remember.
