but again, do you think those affected residents of the predominantly Black and low income communities would have gotten very far in civil court?

Your city council may be composed of criminals and racists, but with the courts, you get another shot at getting a slate of people who can help you who might not be.

There's nothing you can do in a society that's 100% biased against you, but in a society that's 50% biased against you, appeals might rule in your favour.
