>1) You say you're in a "predominantly black neighborhood," but the trend is clearly pointing toward gentrification. Yes. 2) The trend is the result of market economics and socio-economic status, the latter unfortunately not being uniform across different racial groups. Mostly, yes. >3) You are not part of some grand conspiracy to drive out black people from Brooklyn. No, but some people are. >4) "There HAS to be a reason," but it's not the simple reason you're looking for. There's more than one reason. Some are less awful than others, but none are benign.
