For whatever reason the 2000 Census had the village being majority African American which does not line up with actual Census reports. The numbers were accurate, but the majority was White as listed in the link below, but changed to African American. It was the 2010 Census where the majority of the population became African American. This comparison chart from the below link has also been added. Please do not change the demographics back, they are now accurate as shown here:

• Your remarks make no sense. And whatever that source above is, it isn't the census bureau, which is the only source we use. John from Idegon (talk) 06:38, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It is from the US Census Bureau, you make no sense — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1702:3AE0:4760:0:0:0:49 (talk) 05:47, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain how your ignorance of the fact that the US Census Bureau's website is https://www.census.gov/, and the website you were looking at actually has no relationship to the US Census Bureau at all, makes me a "retard", quoting from your post on my talk?

Okay, retard too stupid to read, look what it says in the link moron

Moron, it IS the US Census data, but since your retarded moronic brain can't figure it out, it's USING THE US CENSUS DATA! My god where you dropped on your head as a baby that you don't know how to read? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1702:3AE0:4760:0:0:0:49 (talk) 06:09, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Since I can't get the actual report, here is a Google Book format of Illinois 2000: 2000 Census of Population and Housing prepared by the US Department of Commerce, the Economics and Statistics Administration, and the U.S. Census Bureau- the copy of the printed form which comes right from the U.S. Census, and on page 304 it lists Cahokia's white alone population to be 9,765 compared to 6,491 for the African American population. Here is the link from the U.S. Census Bureau, proving that 58% of Cahokia in 2000 was indeed white alone- page 304 gives the numbers if you want to scroll down and see for yourself, you can open the link to see it's the actual report for the U.S. Census for Illinois, which gives the demographics for Cahokia, Illinois. It is given near the bottom of page 304. You can officially quit this arguing with me, the actual published U.S. Census report is there proving Cahokia was mostly WHITE in 2000, and the 58% African American inaccuracy needs to be permanently changed:
