1-3 seem to be historical. In 4.a, I don't see any causation of the problems you identified. Is it that blacks mostly live among other blacks (segregation) and its those other blacks who are always having emergencies and getting out of prison, etc? That doesn't explain why whites who are also segregated don't also suffer from those problems. Is it because blacks' housing is more expensive, leaving them not enough money for smoke alarm batteries and they choose not to move to the better (historically white) areas for some reason?
Have you got a source for that?
