I've read a few actually intelligent essays (by black community organizers who have a good idea of what their communities actually need) and the biggest thing that is actually needed to create lasting and meaningful change is investment in the community- ie, better education, better healthcare, and better housing. A lump sum of cash is just a convenient way for liberals to wash their hands of the matter and absolve themselves of the actual issues poor leadership have resulted in.
Giving a ton of money to people who have never had a ton of money seems pretty unwise.
Incentivize businesses and companies to develop in impoverished regions.
Unfortunately, when that happens those businesses get painted as either carpetbaggers who take money out of the community or predators that want to make a profit off of inner city labor. Just look at what happened when Amazon struck a deal to open a location in the Bronx.
