If the New York areas shown in Goodfellas, Godfather were dominated by the Mafia, how did they become black since 1990s?

I never watched those movies but black people usually move enmass to a area when there is a demographics collapse and housing becomes cheaply available for purchase. When this starts it usually escalates white flight and the neighborhood completely flips except for the old widows and a few holdout retirees.
That's how it happened to my mostly white suburb outside of a steel mill when Bill Clinton launched a war against the Steel Industry. It was the largest Employee Owned company in the US, closest thing to a socialist lead society in American history, and overnight thousands were unemployed. Some got out fast, while others dragged their feet because they owned homes and thought they could find new work. Didn't usually work out that way, and blacks from Baltimore heard about it and started moving in, and unrelated to them a drug epidemic broke out in the unemployed, still mostly white neighborhoods.
It was about when it got down to about 50-50 split a needless race war started, largely instigated by the newest of the new blacks (first wave was rsther esrnest in fitting it, these later ones were friends of friends who didn't care).
Then it dropped down to just those too impoverished to leave. Men still left anyway, the women who were ugly and fat stayed behind, took up smoking and boozing and drugs, and every ugly fat white chick ended up with a muscular black man. They are pushing strollers around smoking as I write this.
And that's pretty much how a neighborhood turns black. It takes a few decades and it involves multiple waves. The first ones are not the bad people who make the 11:00 News, it's the guys who come a decade later.
That started when I was still in middle schools, and I'm 41 now. When I was leaving was when I first encountered the first black hillbillies. Those attracted to the culture that used to be there. I had to explain to one who just bought a ATV how to find riding trails and gave him a safety helmet for his kid. They didn't know about those kids of things two decades earlier. I'm guessing in another 20 years they will all be wearing hunting camo and calling one another red necks.
There was a brief period when Chicago Gangs (black gangs) came in and tried to traffic coccaine and heroine. They kept getting arrested for having entire arsenals in their cars and once I was nearly killed by some who noticed I was white (and therefore must be a clueless idiot) and followed me a block about to shoot me. I had to make it appear I was armed myself and noticing them behind me too before they backed off. Prior to this Time Magazine woudl regularly put my town in one of the top 50 communities in the US to live.
