Where he is wrong is that he assumes all black people in the hood act like the stereotype and adhere to the same pathological culture.
When in many ghetto areas, the only thing black people have in common there is being black because black folks were only allowed to buy property in certain parts of town. But because of that, you had the upper middle class folks living right next to the Section 8 peoples. Where I’m from in SF was like that. Bill Cosby from the Cosby show living down the block from Doughboy. Doctors and lawyers living right down the street from d-boys and killers.
And the Bill Cosby types fought to clean up the neighborhood and get rid of the guns and drugs. And it was a hard fight. The d-boys and bangers shot up a community leader’s house back in the early 90’s in Lakeview, SF.
Minnie and Lovie Ward, they were a couple who started a neighborhood watch group called Neighbors in Action and a section of Oceanview Park is named in their honor. Once they started to actually make progress and the streets became safer by the early 2000’s, nonblacks started to invest in the cheap real estate there and gentrified black people out of the hood. But it’s a more convenient narrative to say nonblacks “saved” the neighborhood from the naughty negroes.
