I'm glad that you mentioned this!!! After the riots of the 60s and prior many predominately AA communities were left in shambles. Whites were moving to the suburbs so there was no governmental incentive to rebuild the inner city. I definetly agree that at least some of the money should go to community development and economic empowerment!
