African-American's after 1 or 2 generations were slaves, after 15 generations were still slaves, after 20 generations didn't have rights, after 23 generations are over-policed and incarcerated at rates unprecedented in developed countries.
Maybe there is a difference between descendants of slavery and those who came to America voluntarily, with every legal protection, and without the assumptions that come with a 'black accent' or being from a 'black part of town'.
The Broken Window Theory will find crime in places with broken windows. Like going through your innocent looking girlfriend's phone - surveil, search, stop and frisk any neighborhood and you will find what you are looking for.
Please keep in mind what won't show up in crime statistics because they weren't illegal:
Kidnapping 12.5 million Africans, enslaving them, raping them, taking their children, hanging them, burning their homes, terrorizing them, denying their right to language/religion/reading/home ownership/voting/education/use the same classroom, swimming pool, water fountain, bus seat, restaurant, hotel as white people, and being forced to live in the "'black part of town' is always some rundown ghetto compared to the rest" otherwise known as segregation.
The solution isn't adoption by middle-class white families but by treating black people fairly before the law tells you to do so.
Voluntary segregation is a two-way street. When black people move to white neighborhoods, white people don't have to move.
