Not as bad as East Saint Louis YET. But getting there.
All I know about Atlanta is they drive like maniacs.
I don’t see a problem with this. If you want to call whites racist, then so be it. They are taking the initiative to save their communities from the blight of political corruption. If it just so happens that a majority of that corruption comes from politicians and areas that are a majority black, then call it racism if you want. It’s good sense to me.
At some point someone just needs to say that blacks are part of the problem in these cities and let the cards fall where they may. If successful, personally responsible black families want to get away from the corruption, there are no laws preventing them doing so. THAT would be racist. This move is not exclusionary, it is self-sustaining.
Multiculturalism gone to seed.
Went there on our honeymoon years ago. Visited with the kids and noticed how run down it has gotten. Atlanta Undergound has gone to seed. Used to be thriving and bustling with people. Now it has street vendors (with bad attitudes) who sell fake designer handbags and crap.
Atlanta is just the most recent city doing this. It happened in Little Rock not too long ago, with the same results. It’s also starting in Charlotte and Birmingham.
It is not racism, it is Marxism that rots out the heart of a community, a state, and eventually a country.
We need a separation of charity and state. Leave charity to the churches and service organizations. Government's blunt force power has ruined an admirable quality of charity to the needy.
A completely disingenuous argument. They still possess the same voting power and access, as well as the same influence - in their own neighborhoods. The problem is, they no longer have access to other people's money; money they took from wealthier suburbs without providing services to said suburbs.
The Black Caucus reminds me of a wealthy friend's ex-wife. She cheated on her husband and when he divorced her, she wanted everything they had *and* his money. She thought it reasonable that life for her should go on exactly as before except without him in it. Actions have consequences and you can only screw someone over for so long until they've had enough.
Just white people fleeing? Really? Would it be more accurate to simply say that people are fleeing corruption, cronyism and incompetence?
When we start with truth, we have a better chance of seeing the problems we face more clearly. After all we have been through together, it's childish trying to blame ideological and practical problems on what people look like.
It ain't the color of the computer hardware screwing up and causing problems, it's the buggy and corrupted software they're running that's causing the problems people are running from.
Drop the racial BS. We're all family and we're in this together. The only significant difference between us is our thinking. If we can change our thoughts to see this truth clearly, we change our lives for the better.
Wanna know how to destroy a city or a country?
Run it like a worker’s leftist socialist utopia.
It is pretty ironic. All these utopias have to put up fences/gates to keep people FROM LEAVING.
Lord help you if you own property in Atlanta.
Ping.
Just wait ‘til Buckhead tries to incorporate. Then the poo really will hit the fan.
If you live in places LIKE Atlanta or Detroit, thanks to the Democrat Welfare Plantation Minority & Poor dependency thing, you’re probably on the same course to fiscal and cultural oblivion as Atlanta. My hometown of Cleveland comes to mind.
Well, perhaps it’s not so much white racists fleeing as it is whites fleeing black racist administrations and their racist bullying over the whites.
How DARE those racists leave instead of staying to being raped, murdered and pillaged! /s
Hotlanta? *snicker*
Everyone dancing on the head of a pin so as to not have the racist card played.
An honest person cannot escape the Bell Curve of various groups be it the Bell Curve of intelligence, civility, honesty, or dunking a basketball.
Not many communities are enhanced by blacks moving in but there sure a ton of them destroyed.
When ~6.5% (black males) of the US population commit 50% of the crimes once again it is not racist to say so it is the bell curve.
And yes, of course, there are a few on the far right side of the black bell curve who are great people and would be welcome to move into my neighborhood at any time. HOWEVER the bell curve for this group is shifted so far left only those on the far right of the curve are ready for prime time. Hint, obama is not on that far right of the curve.
Another Presstitute, a degreed Urinalist(probably from the Columbia University School of Urinalism) too dumb to spell, as the following illustrates:
“For years government scandals, rackets, political corruption and charges of bribery have plagued a city which is becoming known as “The Detroit of the South,””’
It is “Detoilet”, not “Detroit”!

Years ago I was mugged in Atlanta while attending a convention. The black guy came at me in front of the Hilton Hotel with hundreds of people around. Not one person intervened. They just watched as we struggled for my bag and he knocked me down then kicked me in the head. I’ve never been back to that city.
