5.Dominican Republic
Black population: 7,985,991
The fifth state on our list of countries with highest black population outside Africa is the Dominican Republic in which around 8 million blacks live. Terms black, black community and black culture are rarely used as the majority of residents insist on its European and Indian roots. The reasons why Dominicans neglect their African heritage can be traced back to the days of colonization when white Europeans were superior and as such desirable object of identification.
