It dropped because they started locking blacks up in 1965. Add the people in prison and it goes back to normal

I can sort of see why some may say that. Black people as a whole own less businesses today than back then. Not to mention less wealth despite black people back then having a higher poverty rate. I remember reading about this during that experiment with the black family only buying from black businesses for like a month or something. They were surprised how difficult it was and found through experience and research black businesses were in a decline. It may seem that we are more dependent on white people today, although it's not entirely true.

Proverty was at an all time before the sixties. The black communities that developed their economic-based were the minorities that acquired wealth while rest the of black population were stuck in proverty.
