Lol shoutout to the real residents out here telling everyone to go away. We don’t need anymore traffic or people realizing ATL isn’t the shite hole that most claim.

Traffic does suck, but it sucks in LA too with less people, it sucks in all major cities.
I just don't ever rember hitting such shite traffic outside the city like you do down here on either side of baton rouge. It's fricking awful.

That reality is why it's so annoying to hear people from the north in particular talk about the South's racial issues, particularly Atlanta's - We're one of the most integrated cities in the world.
Big wake up call when I moved back to LA. The Minorities living the good life in ATL acting like normal productive citizens. Here it's laziness, acting like a victim and overall trashiness.
Didn't have a racist thought until I moved to Baton Rouge.

Because they are incredibility tiny in comparison. You shouldnt be comparing them

So you have never really been to the burbs of Atl, have you? Hell the biggest home in Georgia(Over 100 million) is right next to a trailer park.
Classes segregate in every major metro to the same degree as Atlanta, some much more

I liked Atlanta’s vibe during the mid to late 90’s. Olympics were held in 96, Buckhead was booming and the city was maybe 3,000,000 metro area. Now it’s well over 5,000,000 people and too crowded.

And that was the key word to the Braves, ONCE. How that pitching staff won it only one time is beyond me!!

Yes as I already stated I lived in East Cobb for 10 years. It's all the same neighborhoods in the suburbs.
The white people of Atlanta have their middle class suburbia to the north. The black people of Atlanta have their middle class neighborhood (on the complete opposite side of town) to the south. It's a melting pot in the city and a great place for young professionals.
I am not saying white people in metro Atlanta (of which I was one) are racist. I am saying that people self segregate there, even when they are both in the same socioeconomic class. So Atlanta has a ton of successful black people, and a ton of successful white people and for some reason those two middle class family groups stay far from one another as far as where they work, eat and play.

Wait I thought it wasnt about race?
Again Black people are not the only people of color or of different race than white folks. quote:

Okay, so you should have opened your eyes a bit more. sorry you didnt see all the things you say arent there, but really are.
