A town with an over 90% Black population that you probably never heard of - Lincoln Heights, OH

[staticshock]

No public transportation or other amenities that help Lower income people. At least the city has those. And no these new suburbs aren't going to have doctors living in them

Suburbs tend to lack resources, a solidly upper-middle class population won't find may of them as necessary, if they start to hemorrhage a tax base (which generally happens the more Black people move to the suburb, due to discrimination), things only get progressively worse.
You need more than Black store owners, you'd need a consistent and constant involvement in community matters, from the citizen to the government (which is something you get out of White suburbs) to maintain everything.

I don’t know how it is in Dallas but in Atlanta doctors stay in the burbs & we have train & bus stations here in the suburbs..

We're talking once gentrification is complete. Alot of suburbs are going to turn into the new hood, but even more hopeless.

This is to be expected, honestly.
Any Black enclave that found prosperity due to blue-collar jobs centered around manufacturing is absolutely fukked, and has been since the 80s.
Unless it has a strong White-collar population, has started to evolve into a tech hub/economical renewal area, or is a heavy place for retireees, there is little-to-no chance of strong maintanence.
White areas like this were screwed over completely too, Black areas faced the issue doubly, first due to the economic break-down, and second due to systemic discrimination.

Underrated post

Soooo if all the blacks move to the suburbs they will turn to shyt?

What do you mean no resources or opportunities? Do you think black people cant create our own resources? No black store owners, doctors, businessmen, etc?

Are you saying we would be lost on our own without the help of whitey?

That’s what it looks like. Because we haven’t really done any of those things and it’s 2018. And please don’t start naming a buncha individual shyt, I’m talking collectively.

It definitely is, but just like the Northeast and NE suburbs of Columbus, or Maple Heights/East Cleveland by Cleveland, its par for the course.

Heard drugs is real bad out there not use but a lot of dope being sold from their to whites in surrounding areas. Allegedly

 

[CarmelBarbie]

Cincinnati is trash in general, and horrible for blacks that live there, it’s just a backwards city IMO. There’s another black suburb like Lincoln heights in Cincinnati that had the same fate. I think it stems from the same problems too.
