The blacks I know all speak English quite well and work well alongside

I live in the San Joaquin Valley of California ... on the east coast,
there are blacks, here in California there are mostly negroes.

About 1% are decent ... I realize that the black population of other
states are of a totally different makeup. Here it is much like New
Orleans ...

I'm a couple hundred miles S of you and have several black families as
neighbors. They are the same as everybody else. I think you may have
poverty confused with genetics.
