majority black.

We should officially codify a state based on its racial makeup. Brilliant.

DC should be a state regardless.
I just realized it is 50 to 0.
Just pointing out the fact.

Hawaii has never had a white majority.
And DC is under 50% black.

but more white people have moved to the city in recent years.

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.
