    The statement is false. In the Southeastern United States, the African American community is the biggest of the nation, but it doesn't reach half of the nation's African Americans.

    Explanation:

    Southeastern United States is formed by the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.

    Approximately 15% of the American population, that is, about 50 million inhabitants, belong to the African-American ethnic group. These 50 million are distributed throughout the country, but they are specifically concentrated in these states: in Alabama there are about 2 million, in Florida 3 million, in Georgia 3.5 million, in Mississippi 1.2 million, in Tennessee 1.3 million, in North Carolina 2.5 million, in Kentucky 350,000, in South Carolina 1.5 million, in Virginia 2 million and in West Virginia 100,000. The sum of these numbers gives an approximate total of 17,500,000 African Americans living in this region, which does not make up 50% of the nation's total, but 35% of the total number of African Americans.
