Unfortunately, even high income Black areas (and there are a LOT of them!) have a hard time attracting "high end development" because they are "too close" to the 'hood and the "thug culture."
Here is what us whites have to accept. We were sold out by our corporate elites who have control over government. The reality is that our own leadership sold whites into slavery as you see the debt crisis continue to loom..and we work for less and less.
Here is what blacks have to accept. You were sold out by your own black elite in Africa..they cut deals with the slave traders..blaming whites is like blaming Jews for the killing of Christ when it was the ancestors of the modern Italians who under Rome controlled Judea..and who had the ultimate say on the execution.
People who oppress or enslave especially in modern times don't give a damn what race or sex you are- They use and abuse who ever they can. Why is it hard for blacks and whites to understand that they are betrayed by their own race?
Bad sons of ******* consume who ever they can regardless of who you are. The longer you are deflected from this reality and the longer you point your finger in a lazy thoughtless and stereo typical manner at the OTHER race..the longer you will be a slave- black or white regardless.
No that isn't normal genre of music. It influences kids to want to be like thses rappers and live the fast life. 90% of rappers were criminals before making it big as rappers.
White kids are the biggest consumers of hip-hop and we are not seeing that type of behavior from them on a wide scale.

They also don't have the same cultural issues to deal with as Blacks. I notice when some Black kids behave in any way that is not "ghetto", they are teased and outed as "acting White". White kids don't have to worry about this. I this this has come out of trying to define what it is to be Black.

I agree that's why I say the problems are cultural. Fix the culture the problems are mitigated.
To elaborate more, this is what I think. I think there is an important to note where this culture came from. This doesn't excuse the culture, rather, it could hold clues on how to solve this problem. There is a book called Black Rednecks and White Liberals written by Thomas Sowell. There are parallels made between the "redneck culture" and the "ghetto culture".
The problem is cultural. Now the question is "Where did this culture come from"?
I would say look from the 60's onward. The civil rights movement saw many Blacks, young and old fight for equal education and the end to segregated schools. In the 50 years since it is now cool to be illiterate, dumb and a tough guy.
