pretty sure I stumbled onto the wrong website, but agree with some of what has been said. Smarty doesn’t get irony. That’s ironic. With the sixties, black middle class families were allowed to buy middle class homes in white suburbs (remember Raisin in the Sun?) and mainstream into society at large. What followed was huge emigration of the black professional and middle class out of thriving segregated communities where they had been forced to live. Black communities that once had a diverse population of wealth, professionals, male role models, civic pride, were left with only the poorest of the poor who were too poor to move out. The problem is exacerbated to this day. Once occasional cream does rise to the top, an inner city kid gets into an Ivy League school, etc. they also will flee. Never to return. So there is an enormous brain drain in the inner city, where anyone with brains and talent gets out. Leaving only the stupid to mate with the stupid, creating ever more stupid babies.
