No I'm talking about right now; the current state of the US. Right now, intergenerational poverty exists because of stupid choices. That is to say, underclass culture, and especially "black culture", are anti-thetical to success in this country. The absolute best way to escape intergenerational poverty as a black person, is to reject black culture in it's entirety and embrace an individualist mindset that forsakes collectivism, especially collectivist's embrace of excuse-making and victimhood narratives.
The black man (and woman) has never had more opportunity than they do right now, and, in fact has more opportunity than any other racial demograph in the US. Corporations throughout the US are falling all over themselves trying to secure black talent for social virtue signaling points with their conscientent-consumer fanbase, there's just quite simply a complete shortfall of it [You must be logged in to view images.

This is true. Culture will fight against self-betterment every step of the way. Getting an education, even speaking articulately is seen as being an Uncle Tom in low-income black culture. And the safest and best thing to do is move away as soon as possible. Poor black areas have higher crime rates than poor white areas, and crime rates have a direct impact on home prices, which indirectly has a direct impact on school funding (paid in part from property taxes). Not to mention gang culture is pervasive and deadly due to beef so easily being continued over social media. Gang culture exists in all low-income areas, however
There are definitely historical injustices that contributed to making low income black areas how they are today, but their own culture is a rejection of self-betterment, education, and especially authority, to its own demise
