Black Americans have plenty of avenues to aim higher and many do.

But you've still got 60% of black Americans with a high school diploma or less. And you still have a significant portion (though not all) of these unskilled jobs that no one would do in the black community. For every small factory and hotel, there's a bunch of day labor gigs and shit like that.

I think you're trying to attack the problem in a way that's ultimately unproductive and, even if you don't agree with that, much more out of the black community's control than improving their own standards and standing.
