Dirty, "blacks" would in an inaccurate way of describing it. As I stated earlier, if you look at Carribeans of subsaharan descet & recent subsaharan immigrants, they are doing far better than those Black Americans descended from American slaves. Hell, within the Nigerian-American community you'll find the group which has the single highest level of educational achievement.

So, if you're implying there's some sort of racism, or discrimination on the basis of race is keeping these people down - well, think again. Because were that the case we'd be seeing the same outcomes mirrored in these immigrant communities.

Actually, millions of people choose to live in those areas. We know they choose to live there because, as they say, actions speak louder than words - and their actions certainly indicate they're happy with their situation. Were they not happy they'd be more careful with their spending, they'd pursue either further education or career training, etc. - there's tons of exits from the ghetto.

Can people just "pack up, drive across the country and miraculously find a job, a good credit score, and buy a home and nice car and live the middle class life without any education" - yep. Millions of people cross the ****ing ocean and do just that, every year. Can you do it in one fell swoop? No, but with hard work and determination, it can happen, and if it couldn't - well - people wouldn't be immigrating here, now would they?
