Are you nuts? Maybe you just don't know the whole Cleveland heights as it is a huge suburb.
Try going in the warrensville area just north of Cedar, total black ghetto.
here's the demographics:
The racial makeup of the city was 52.50% White, 41.78% African American
The per capita income for the city was $25,804. About 10.6% of the population were below the poverty line.
Over 25% are unemployed.
I went to Cleveland Heights High for high school it was 60% black 30% white and 10% "other", and there were arrests daily and plenty of gang violence & shootings. Almost got killed my first year there getting high at a football game under the bleachers when playing rivals Shaker Heights as a gun fight broke out kid got shot 10 feet away from me.
Out of 1200 freshman when I started only 230 graduated with me...
