So if white flight is bad (and racist?) but gentrification is bad and racist, what are we as white people supposed to do? Stay or leave? I haz confuse.

Balkanizing Atlanta may or not be in the interest of Buckhead itself, but it's definitely not in the interest of the metro area, and that's important.
How do you figure this? The less territory the mega corrupt ATL political machine has influence over the better for everyone. Except for the mega corrupt ATL political machine of course.
Godspeed Buckhead, I wish you all the best in this worthy endeavor and effort to save your community.

Sir George Floyd’s death means more to American values and moving forward than MLK’s death. Spoken from the words of a complete idiot.

It needs to, but likely won’t, happen. The thugs here run amok knowing that their shenanigans will go unpunished most of the time. It starts with the urban youths playing in traffic and harassing people in an attempt to sell stolen water bottles (then leave their trash and the fricking cart in the road median after they get done 
). Then extends to the constant street racing down Pharr Rd and the break ins everywhere. Places like Hide Kitchen which bring the element need to be razed. There’s a shooting at that place seemingly every month. The APD is severely undermanned and more of a police presence in Buckhead would do wonders.

It's not, Buckhead and Atlanta as a whole is different from "St. George. In that you have a LOT of blacks from all over the country that move here athletes, entertainers, music industry and business people that have ways that aren't fitting to Buckhead yet have the money to live there, shop and dine with the "elite" or whites that don't want the rift raft. It's a VERY interesting place. Ie a waste of time smh get over it.

I could probably rattle off a dozen Louisiana politicians who I remember going to jail, but I have not observed that in the almost 10 years I've lived in Atlanta. There may be some cronyism and some dubious Donna Brazile-style electioneering going on, but it's pretty insignificant compared to what I remember from LA (a state with millions fewer people than Metro Atlanta).
The one Atlanta area official I remember getting in trouble is the mayor of Stonecrest, a recently incorporated city in DeKalb County. Those people thought they wanted a municipal government, much like some people in Buckhead think they do.
Building fiefdoms surrounded by poverty is how you build St. Louis or Detroit, not Atlanta.
