..... nothing. I'm just saying how the neighborhood completely shifted demographically.
Did the blacks cause the crime, did the crime cause the blacks, or is that just an irrelevant added fact?

The fact is: Neighborhood used to be mostly white and fairly safe. Now it's mostly black and not safe.
You can come up with your own reasons as to why that is, but it's beside the point.
My point was simply that the neighborhood is almost the complete opposite of what it used to be.

My grandparents home in Shreveport near the Shreveport Country Club was a showpiece, just beautiful. Now you literally can not see the house because of growth of vegetation. Almost all the homes are in disrepair and the home is now worth less on the market than in the 1990's. The area is now mostly black and the stores that used to serve the community are gone. the homes have abandoned cars in the driveways, and it looks unlike the nice place of old.
Do blacks predominately live there now? Yes. Is Crime higher? Yes. Did the blacks cause the crime? I don't know draw your own hypothesis.
