Not quite what I meant, but since you decided to go there, what percentage of the population of those "neighborhoods" is there due entirely to their own actions?
I would call that number substantial.
It's simple. Black, white, pink with white polky dots, or whatever the **** you are, don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

Wikipedia has a good entry on gentrification and how the younger generation is moving into the city. The end result is that money is forcing the poor out into the suburbs where it is more expensive for them to live. It doesn't glamorize smoking pot or the evils of Starbucks, but expresses the issue and its problems in frank terms.
We've all experienced in one form or another the changes that happen to our childhood neighborhoods. Whether it's the loss of a field to a shopping mall or housing development. But most of us don't see our neighborhood entirely redone and suddenly unaffordable to live there.
Maybe not, but I've seen my childhood neighborhood change and become almost uninhabitable.
It is very sad.

Mine did. A nearby apt complex decided to start accepting Section 8. That was the beginning of the end, and the last straw that forced my father's decision to move.

Wonder why you never hear about it being the other way around? Blacks moving in and the neighborhood improving.

Show me one case of Section 8 improving any neighborhood.
I didn't think so.

But ... but ... but ... that's the opportunity these underpriviledged folks need to turn their lives around. Plus the diversity in hiring quotas. Two, the TWO opportunities the underpriveledged need are Section 8 housing and diversity hiring quotas ... and cultural sensitivity training for law enforcement. These THREE ... no wait ... Amongst the necessary opportinities for the underpriviledged to turn their lives around are Section 8 housing, diversity in hiring quotas, cultural sensitivity training, and EBT food vouchers ... bugger ...
Can I just come in again?

The prison quip was a joke, maybe a bad joke, but I make that joke out of the frustration I feel when hearing or reading statements like yours. It is always someone elses fault. It is always the white man keeping the black man down, huh?
If your statements that I bolded are true, then how could we ever have a black man as President of the United States?

.....and how are they actually stuck there? Just because it is all they've ever known is a poor excuse. How about if they stay in school, stop having babies, stop relying on welfare as a career, go to work, and choose not to commit crimes. These things are all based on free will and are choices that could greatly improve the odds of getting out of the ghetto.
