Yes, I am near a city in the US with a 60% black population.
It used to be a bustling hub with a population of 600,000 and it was a gleaming heart of transport, steel manufacturing, and industry.
As black people moved to the city, white flight began, and now the city is a shell and husk of its former self. A population of 50,000 is all that remains, all the industry has left and has rotted away, and the stores are all barricaded and closed down.
The black population are basically interned in a city turned into an massive camp, by police officers that come from wealthier neighborhoods outside the city. The neighborhoods surrounding the city have houses worth 5+ million dollars but they are separated from the city by bridges, highways, and impassable obstacles so that you can only each them by car.
The irony is palpable. Only probably 10% live in the rich houses. The rest live in hovels on the outskirts of the rich neighborhoods, and they delude themselves that they are part of the “in group”.
