A TROUBLING QUESTION OR IS IT?
Is there still a "black community" as formerly understood and lived-in in 2014? Given integration, suburbanization, gentrification, the black community may now be only online, while actual physical habitats are just residuals, largely abandoned by businesses, professionals and bereft of the middle and upper economic classes like before. The "black community" of the '50s and '60s, with its schools, and churches is gone, and what is left is only an impoverished ghetto, crime, dysfunction with the lost idea and ideal of community; consequences of a one-way social policy of integration with whites
