DC should be a state regardless.

I just realized it is 50 to 0.

Just pointing out the fact.

A few more are majority-minority if you assume nonhispanic white.

All 50 States Majority White

That's not true. But you're right that there is no majority black state. And DC wouldn't be one even if it was made a state. So to create one, you're going to have to gerrymander. Ironically, I think you'd get a lot of support from Republicans for placing lots of black people into their own state.
