I don't disagree with the sentiment, but -- > Otherwise, since rent is still pretty affordable in predominantly black neighborhoods you would think they (white people) would choose to live there This is almost the definition of gentrification, which is pretty common where I live (Boston area).

Gentrification is pushing people out of their environment due to high rent prices which happens because white people 'feel' comfortable to live there now. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gentrification https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gentrification I'm saying that our neighborhoods should reflect more or less the ratio of diversity in the population but it doesn't does it? Presumably there's more poor white people than poor black people in America, right? So if price of rent was the main determining factor for where someone lives presumably lower income communities ought to be pretty mixed then, right? That is white people ought to feel comfortable enough to have black neighbors and lower rent and mortgages before the gentrification happens.
