Why doesn’t this apply to every minority? For example, when anti-Semitism broke down, why didn’t it leave behind little Jewish ghettos of swirling social dysfunction and failure as the best Jews escaped into goyish society? Why not any Asian group? etc.
Jewish culture has a very strong and extremely ancient tradition of networking and giving to the community, one that Afro-Americans lack. With Asian-Americans it’s largely similar, plus consider that the Asian immigrants to the US must have already been the most driven and novelty-seeking of their class back home.
U.S. Blacks carry a unique history of slavery and such. They did not know how to choose between cooperation and defection, because sticking together had never been a choice before.
Pretty much every culture has a tradition of networking and giving to the community, and African-Americans are no exception—think of the powerful networks of black churches which were behind the civil rights movement.

Good try anyway.
