Houston is a buzz in Black America. Check the blogs, forums, and YouTube. Houston is popular and is desirable for blacks, given social media; it’s not according to me. On the other hand, blacks hate Atlanta. You can research that yourself.
Houston is steps above Chicago and Philly. The cities beat it in urbanity, however.
Imma have to disagree with you right here for this post lol . Houston definitely has a blacker feel than the rest of the cities in Texas, and it's in the top 5 like others said, but I can't consider any city in Texas as the most dominant in black culture in the U.S. As far as your blacks hate Atlanta comment, many people including blacks love and many people hate Atlanta just like other cities depending on their individual preferences. For nearly 2 million black people to live in the Atlanta metro area though I don't think you can just say something like "blacks hate Atlanta" I think because Atlanta is widely considered the black mecca and discussed so much in regards to black culture, it elicits strong opinions from both those that love and hate it. I'm pretty familiar with Chicago, I haven't been to Philly nearly as many times. I won't rank Houston above or below them but I say they are in the same tier and that Chicago's significance as a influential black population center is currently declining.

Lololol...you know that YouTube videos and blogs doesn't constitute "research," right?
I think it's pretty much implied that we are talking about entire metro areas and not only the individual cities. I could be wrong though but otherwise New York, Chicago, Philly, and Detroit are the top 4 in black population, and Houston is #5 as of the 2010 census. It's possible Houston has surpassed Detroit now with it's continuing decline in population. Atlanta wouldn't even in the top ten in black population due to it's much lower city population. I know this discussion is about "black capitals" and not necessarily black population, but you can't really discuss the black impact of Atlanta without discussing the entire metro area because the population of the suburbs is so much greater than the city there.
It's certainly is about cities. I said that Houston's Black community is largest in the South . We certainly can since the anchor of any metro is the reason for the attraction in economy, entertainment, etc. Also, ATL have recently gained an additional black population in it's metro. Like i said, it's in the spotlight in this timeframe and high quality promotions.

I don't think what you are saying is correct nor makes much sense. The city limit population relative to the metro area is a product of a number of factors including politics, annexation laws that may differ for particular regions. If the city population as the anchor was the true indication of a city's significance, Atlanta wouldn't even be a top 30 city but its one of the top cities for fortune 500 headquarters within the city limits. You have some cities like Miami and Atlanta that have a much smaller population within its city limits, others like Jacksonville that have a much larger city population than Atlanta or Miami. Does anyone on Earth think Jacksonville is a more significant city than Atlanta or Miami? It's disgenious to pretend like Houston's black influence is more significant than Atlanta just because there are more black people living in the defined city limits of Houston versus Atlanta, when the Atlanta metro region almost has twice the number of blacks that Houston does.

Some people just talk ish to see if it will stick and is a slave to low level conjecture. Not my words but just check other blogs and stuff.
I know you weren't directing this at me but you know what you said was/is absurd. That's like saying Puerto Ricans hate Orlando or Portuguese hate Boston or Ethiopians hate DC. Gotta think ach.
