Actually no that's POINT 8 percent meaning less than 1 percent, putting the actual number closer to 1,000 black people in Maine. Sounds about right actually, Maine is the whitest state in the country, and where I grew up I literally had never met a black person until I was about 15.

Hey "Frank" I think you need to redo your calculations because you are wrong, ".8%" IS NOT LESS THEN "1%", Brian typed and clearly expressed ".8%"(notice the percent symbol behind the 8), he did not type (as you put it) "POINT 8". So with that out of the way let's crunch the numbers again. ".8%" or 8%=008, and if you multiply this number by 1.3 million or 1300,000 X .008 then your answer would be 10,400. So Brian is correct with his 10 to 11k estimate.

Mr Monk

Actually, Frank is right. .8% is less than 1%. 8% is greater than 1%. redoing the calculation, there is about 1040 (130,000 X .8%).

This is actually a bit of a complicated answer, because it depends on what you really mean by "in the United States." And here's why I say that:

Technically, Wake Island, an unorganized, unincorporated territory of the United States is west of the International date line, and so it is 1 day ahead of what we typically think of as "the United States."

Maine is the eastern most State, and Lubec is the eastern most town, making it the eastern most town in the Continental United States to see daylight.

However, West Quoddy Head, which is part of Lubec, is considered the eastern most point in the Continental United States. And, of course, Point Udall in St. Croix (U.S. Virgin Islands) is the eastern most point of all the US Territories.

The sun rises in the East, pass over the sky during the day and sets in the west. Whatever that's closest to the east will get sunrise first.
