"Actually, there is probably no majority now in TX." There hasn't been for a while. Back in the 1970s, the white population was right at 50 percent, if not a tick lower. At that time, the percentage of blacks and Hispanics was roughly equal. It has been noted for a long while that if the blacks and the Hispanics joined together, they could take over Texas politics. But the two groups have little use for each other, so they lose... It was the same in CA, but then Latinos started moving into black areas. Eventually the blacks began moving out....further from LA, and eventually they left the state completely. I think the growth in the Black population in CA is pretty static while the Latino population has grown big time. I think its hard for people outside of TX and CA to realize that whites are not the majority in those states and have not been for some time.........in TX's case......for probably most of the '90s. Its a strange time.........I posted the article about Atlanta where the white population was growing faster in the city than the black population. That's true in DC as well. After years of white flight, it seems the whites are moving back into the cities.
