Poor urban blacks have been abandoned by wealthy black Americans who move into the suburbs and mainstream America as fast as they can.

And who would blame them for leaving the drugs, gunfire, gangs, hopelessness, failed schools, failed government and corruption? Anybody who CAN get out of an abject shithole WILL get out.

This is true regardless of race.

People with positive attitudes move forward. People with negative attitudes fall behind. It appear there need to be an attitude change in the poor black neighborhoods because.
they are not being left behind. They have given up.
They do not have the will or the strength to rise above poverty. And when government provides the sorryful means for them to barely survive, government is doing those people a disservice by propegating an attitude of failure and subservience.
We owe them nothing but opportunity and opportunity abounds if one has the initiative to go out and grab the opportunity. 70% illiteracy is not a road to success. It appear blacks had it a lot better when there was forced segregation it is sad to say. They had nobody to depend on except themselves for their means. Government has taken that incentive away and that is why those once bustling avenues of commerce in black neighborhoods are now dilapidated, boarded up examples of government dependency and hopelessness.
There will always be poor people. That is a fact of all society. But anyone with intelligence can prosper if education is obtained, drugs are left alone, and hope and vision are clear. Anyone in line for a handout has no sympathy from me.
