I'm born and raised in Austin (eastside).There are a lot of black people in Austin. Most do NOT go to ACL (most think its a white thing to do). Now do one on Juneteenth, Urban Music Fest, TX Relays, MLK March and count how many are there then. Don't get me wrong, Austin is a "white" city, but don't think there aren't any black people here. I know I don't go to ACL unless a black artist is playing.
Just moved from Austin to H-Town (exactly 1 day ago). There's a Huffington Post article about how Austin's Black population is decreasing that y'all might find interesting. I was surprised to see 3 other people with high amounts of melanin in Juiceland before I peaced out though. Can't wait for more!
austin is one of my top cities for relocation one day. i'm so looking forward to this series. and now, you can't bow out gracefully now (still laughing at yesterday's veda video). lol!!!
Please, for the love of God, no more people. There is actually a grassroots movement now to prevent more people from moving here. Californians and displaced hurricane victims have destroyed this city and it's since become a crime infested, traffic ridden hellhole and pushed all of Austin's original residents to Pflugerville or Round Rock, if not further. Used to take me 20 minutes to get from my home in Lakeway to downtown, and now you're lucky to make it in an hour. Please, stay where you are. We will both be happier. Never thought anyone's car would get broken into in Lakeway, but mine did. They caught the perp... Newly implanted Californian.
Lol, we are def sprinkled a little here and a little there. I've been in Austin for 10 years now. My husband and I went to the Domain Friday night for some live music, and I swear we were the only ones there lol
Yes, i can almost guarantee ya'll were the only ones. I work in the Domain, and once everyone goes home from work, its colorless for the most part lol.
I guessed 30! At Loufest in St.Louis(a 2 day fest), Outkast performed the second night and we definitely showed up. Sooooo many White girls in high waisted jean shorts!
Hi! Wasn't sure if you had seen this article on cnn about the decrease in the black population in Austin. I thought of your channel as soon as I saw it.
happytattycatty yes! we saw it and posted it on our twitter. We're definitely joining the other efforts to create more visibility of the existing black population here!
I live in Canada, where I'd guess there are few black people (outside our 3 or so major cities). Anyway, are ppl in Austin friendly towards you and other black people? I wonder why there are so few black ppl, Austin seems like nice ppl to live
Aw man, my husband and I were there (for the Outkast concert too lol), I wish we could have been there for your count! lol My avy is actually from that day.
My guess would have been 0 I'm from Baltimore it's about 60% black it feels strange being in a city with so few black ppl the only time I see blk ppl is if hey are employees at a store
I miss all the austin hotties...dated a really hot black guy there too yessss....but it's sad that austin is still missing more black folks. Thank God for UT or else it would be quite barren. Did Doyin permanently move to Austin? Also have you met up with Nikisha of Urbanbushbabes? She moved there awhile ago and loves it. Y'all make me want to move back but then I remember the place is getting too packed :(
Ah! I totally used to play this game when I would see bands in DC. Since DC is, ya know, the Chocolate City, you'd think you'd see brown people errywhere, but nope... So did you see 20 black folk, or nah?
I have a theory that the more Caucasian an area is, the more attractive the black people there are, because well shoot they're unfortunately forced to be a representation of the entire black race. This video is supporting my theory and I'm not even mad :)
I'm gonna guess 10. 15 Max. But my real guess is 10. Lmao and that would be sad out of 75,000. I do that at my school actually. Especially during open house. I count the black people. Oh well. My school is predominantly white so I get amused when I see other's of the brown persuasion. Lmao
Vancouver. Here is there is a large East Asian, South Asian and white population but you can count the number of black people on your fingers. I think that back East the numbers are a bit higher (I'm thinking GTA, Montreal and perhaps Nova Scotia). Interesting fact, part of Jimi Hendrix's family is from here.
The number of black people increase depending on the venue. Try it again at the Texas Relays or the jazz festival and I can promise a different result. You might even have a totally different video. Just saying.
Was it a coincidence that all of the men were fineeee?!? Trip to Austin in the works...
Fa real tho!
Ok. These so called black men are known for being on the down low here.
And they were all beautiful, whaddya know!?!?
KurlyMommy G Even #14? Come on, now.
Damn...so many hot dudes tho
I wasn't the only one lol

I was close with 20 (which is technically the number if you minus Charlie strong and add you and doyin!)
Surprisingly a lot of people were pretty close!
I miss all the austin hotties...dated a really hot black guy there too yessss....but it's sad that austin is still missing more black folks. Thank God for UT or else it would be quite barren. Did Doyin permanently move to Austin?
Also have you met up with Nikisha of Urbanbushbabes? She moved there awhile ago and loves it. Y'all make me want to move back but then I remember the place is getting too packed :(
Thanks for the reminder about Nikisha!

Damn. Wasn't Donald Glover on stage? He's a plus one...let's make it even now.
Haha, he wasn't around during those 30 minutes. He performed on another day.
Um this is scary, because I might be moving to Austin next year. Please find more black people. I have locs, if I move, who will maintain them???
Don't be scared! We've got a friends with locs in Austin who are just fine. Your locs will prosper!
So great! Been in Austin for three years and I only know the handful of black people that go to my university! It'd be easier finding unicorns
30
12
10 is my guess.
I was off by several. :)
9
33
10
SO SIMPLE. SO PERF.
Sem! (7)
I guessed 9!
OMG. This is amazing.
You can do the same thing at lady bird lake every weekend.
I am usually one out of four people.
Ah! I totally used to play this game when I would see bands in DC. Since DC is, ya know, the Chocolate City, you'd think you'd see brown people errywhere, but nope... So did you see 20 black folk, or nah?
10!
I have a theory that the more Caucasian an area is, the more attractive the black people there are, because well shoot they're unfortunately forced to be a representation of the entire black race. This video is supporting my theory and I'm not even mad :)
It seems Like a very progressive city Nicee.
Jhene Aiko pulled all the black ppl... I spotted a good 35 at her show, lol
Right? Saw her the next day and was like "oh, OK, this is where we're at?"
Those are some awesome lookin blk ppl. Heyyy!!!
that last one though does not count.lol Don't you need a body to be a person?
Nah, it counts!
Austin While Black Desperation?!
No, I was really wrong my guess was 7. I just knew ya'll were going to try and thrown in repeats but you didn't so CHEERS.
I'm gonna guess 18 lol probably way over though!!
I'm gonna guess 10. 15 Max. But my real guess is 10. Lmao and that would be sad out of 75,000. I do that at my school actually. Especially during open house. I count the black people. Oh well. My school is predominantly white so I get amused when I see other's of the brown persuasion. Lmao
Honestly my guess was 20
10? If so, then the amount of black people in your city is way greater than that in mine. And I live in the third largest Canadian city.
OK, but see, that's Canada. What city do you live in?
Vancouver. Here is there is a large East Asian, South Asian and white population but you can count the number of black people on your fingers. I think that back East the numbers are a bit higher (I'm thinking GTA, Montreal and perhaps Nova Scotia). Interesting fact, part of Jimi Hendrix's family is from here.

Or during Juneteenth.
