Sorry but I am not seeing a dearth of black Angelenos except for two specific varieties: Bloods and Crips.
THEY were the ones doing the most moving out of L.A. and when that happened, the pitched street battles and drive-by shootings between the rival gangs gradually began to dissipate, at least in comparison to the Eighties, when I was making a part time living from shooting news footage of that very thing.
Don't forget, yours truly was in the street with a camera during the 1992 riots.

And you forgot Palmdale, which is where you can find a good many displaced Bloods and Crips today.
