When Black Lives Matter was protesting against police violence against blacks there was considerable pushback from many on the left who questioned the wisdom of destroying business and infrastructure in "their own" neighborhoods. "Aren't they just making it harder for themselves to find work and hurting their own communities?" was a common criticism.

The point that was missed is that they no longer have "their neighborhood" in the same sense that whites might think. "Their neighborhoods" were bulldozed and split up into pieces whenever roads and highways are planned. This had a lot to do with undervaluing their property, but it was also a concerted effort to destroy any black business that was successful or provided employment to other blacks.

Black citizens remain the largest demographic of "unbanked" Americans, which makes any real attempt to climb up to success in this capitalist economy a hopeless struggle. The closest thing to a bank in most black neighborhoods is the payday lenders that prey on them. Ditto for any municipal services where they must go to get even a simple driver's license or ID. Asking a group of people to participate in our culture and community while not allowing them any real inclusion is the dodge of responsibility the left is most famous for.
