I find the sort of "black culture is deficient" argument both incorrect and tired. My alternative thesis is about access to capital.
And also access to a functioning justice system.
I don't have the numbers to prove this on hand, but my suspicion is that Asian-American immigrants post-1965 had sufficient capital...
That they were able to fund entry into capitalism for a substantial minority of Asian Americans...
This produces a critical mass who had access to capital, but perhaps not the means or the desire to live outside of an ethnic neighborhood
So the "capitalist" Asian-American class is able to create middle class jobs in predominantly Asian American neighborhoods/communities.
By contrast, African-Americans, unlike almost all immigrant groups, neither have capital from "home" not gvmt-provided capital...
(The latter basically because of redlining.) And those of us who gain access to capital don't produce jobs in majority-black neighborhoods
Partially because of problem number 2, which is the fact that the American justice system has never, at any point, been reliable effective
Or trustworthy for Black Americans. This leads not to anarchy (culture, like nature, abhors a vacuum), but to a secondary justice system.
What we call "gang violence" or "black on black crime" is generally the operation of that secondary system...
