In Georgia there are about 12 counties that are black across the board. No need to go into the crime, etc.
But, right before the Olympics, in a move to get the Olympics, Atlanta started knocking down all the projects. Everyone spread out. Counties that were once solid RED, and I mean SOLID RED, are as blue as can be now. Section8, illegals, refugees and black transplants have turned these counties.
Cobb and Gwinnett counties were probably as Conservative as a place could get. Great schools. Safe. Law and order. Not so much anymore. Both suffered massive resettlement of refugees and illegals. A generation or two and they become community organizers, etc and start to change everything. This begins the White flight.
There was something about this bill, regarding school choice/vouchers and a few other things that stopped this bill. Maybe it was that illegal kids could take advantage of it as well.
Either way, she isn’t wrong. But she’ll never side with republicans. She used to work for John Lewis.
“Cobb and Gwinnett counties were probably as Conservative as a place could get.”
That is so true. I never thought that those two counties could turn so liberal so quickly.
BTW, I didn’t realize she previously worked for John Lewis. She may see a problem, but with having worked for him, the chances are small that she would actually switch parties. Of course, stranger things have happened in Georgia politics.
