why?
most blacks live in/near a ghetto
why should we stay and live in these impoverished areas?
you go through 4+ years of college/training in order to earn an income that you think is appropriate, why would you want to live in such shitty housing stock?
why would you want to be fearful of parking a nice car in front of your house that it may get stolen or vandalized?

why would i want to fear that my child might get robbed of her iPhone6 as she is walking down the street talking on it just past sundown coming home?

why would a married couple with a HHI of say $160,000 want to live in such squalor when they can live in just about any neighborhood in the city with that income (this is true for all but say 5 cities in america)
humans naturally gravitate UP towards nicer things

wade, do you have kids?
if you do, would you rather send your child to the high school where 90% of graduates went on to Ivy League level colleges
or the high school where only 30% of the students even barely graduate?
