Live in Memphis with 90% black population and get back in touch with me.

Nope, No gates, no guards, no "wealthier blacks". Everyone works at regular jobs.
We have doctors and lawyers but my other, white next door neighbor works 'shift work' at a fire brick plant and the guy across the street is a retired postal worker.
If you consider everyone with a job as 'wealthier' then this neighborhood is that, but I'd bet this area is just about middle income and is very average.
If you live in a ghetto, yep, the people will be street people, but they will all be street people, whites, blacks and browns will exist using the non-law of the street.

Why don't you just admit you made a dumb ass statement and call it a day {or coupla days}.
