So, they want segregation. Cool. Let's see how that works out. Let's segregate Atlanta right down the middle. No one is allowed to cross the border. Let's see which side is better.

We’ve seen how our government responds to this though

Sure, as long as we segregate tax dollars from Alpharetta and Atlanta. That will end as expected.

The barbell outline of Fulton county was very instructive in pushing me over the edge 20 years ago. Nobody cares, they want money and influence.

No cops should go to the hood. Let them deal with each other

It is, but downtown gets outsized tax money from the outskirts up 400. There is a reason that the close suburbs keep trying to incorporate like St. George.

Somewhat. There are pockets in the city that have lots of white people plus the areas in the north end of the city that is mainly white.

Unfortunately that’s the problem with that “culture”

No respect for authority

For you non ATL peeps, Fulton county is shaped like a barbell, where there is a big locus in downtown ATL, a thin strip (I think six lanes wide) up GA 400 that leads to Alpharetta, almost 20 miles away. That's where the money in the county is, and where a lot of the corporate and non black/latino presence is.

There is a Baton Rouge / St. George situation going on right now. Buckhead, with some of the richest zip codes in the country, has been trying to form its own city. The city of Atlanta is fighting like hell to keep that from happening.

Yep.
You want segregation?
Fine.

Your tax dollars go in one pot, ours in another.

Spending in your area comes from your pot.
Social spending on your people, comes from your money pot.

Would be hilarious.

I left in '08, and the level of corruption WRT to Hartsfield and ATL overall that was just shrugged off as inconsequential reminded me of Louisiana. Vote black, or vote nothing.

Racism (black vs. everyone else) was bad in LA, but ATL was just as bad, but there was more money involved (including Hartsfield contracts.) I have to say it, DeKalb and Fulton County can eat a dicke.

That died in the legislature last year (and the main group pushing it disbanded).

Locals don’t want any cops responding in their neighborhood TBH.
