Actually it's not a "sliver". While there are only 13% ish black Americans, they achieve higher education, bachelor's and above, at a rate of 34%. So 4.5% of the American population is educated and black. So more than a third in their communities are educated.
Why you think it's a "sliver" is because white America is still 70% of the population, and the college educated white is 19.6% of the entire population... but only 28% of white America is getting educated anymore thanks to needing them dumb and racist if the 4% are going to maintain power.
Sadly your view is exactly why white America isn't understanding the issues brought up in this movie. More and more of them are very educated and still being talked at like they are fresh out of a ghetto. Try imagining someone talking at you like that and assuming your life story before they even know you. So called "liberal" white America is still as racist as ever, just trying harder than the open racists without really understanding.

An accurate portrait of a very narrow sliver of the African-American experience. It's incredible how many little pieces of the movie ring true, but the overall execution is held back by its unwillingness to suggest an answer or provide a conclusion.
