For the racial makeup of the cities mentioned, see:
http://www.cityrating.com/cityguides.asp
Memphis is about 40% black
Tulsa, less than 9% black. Oklahoma City, around 11% black.
Add to that the growing number of muslims in Tn. Several of those cities also have growing numbers of them.

Nashville is a big drug town.
I live in Memphis (we’re number 1, oops nothing to celebrate) and I can assure you we are far more than 40% black. I fugure 60-70% at least.
