Using Black Wall Street as an example of the good stuff black people can do if they're left the Hell alone is frankly absurd. While, yes, Black Wall Street was prosperous in its day (there's a reason Booker T. Washington gave Greenwood District that name), without dismantling the White Supremacist Power Structure, it was doomed to eventually fail. Not because there's some inherent flaw in black people that made it fuck up, but because the racist white people who lived there were pissed off enough by its success that they eventually found the first incident they could use as a pretext to burn the whole place down, leave 10,000 black people homeless in the aftermath of what is likely the biggest incident of racial violence in American history, and leave its success forgotten for almost a century.
Well, that and they didn't exactly turn white folks away if they were interested in going there.
