Black Mecca

that article is stupid.
Atlanta has been called the black Mecca because of its disproportionately large black upper and middle class…then they go and interview a woman with section 8 vouchers for a condemned apartment building?
That's a big misconception. There's no large middle class in Atlanta. Is it higher than Baton Rouge, yes but not by much. Most middle class Blacks live in the suburbs. They can't afford the nice middle class neighborhoods in Atlanta on the east side. One of the TD posters live in Virginia Highlands on the east side so he knows this, homes start near $1 million ... only like 1% of the upper middle class Blacks can afford that. Virginia Highlands is practically all White for a reason ... more upper middle class Whites can afford it.

This has been going on for a while now in Atlanta. Everybody on here talks shite about Atlanta but they all are thinking it's the same Atlanta as it was 5-10-15 years ago. It's not.
Atlanta is becoming a world class safe city.

Atlanta will have a white mayor within a decade. A white democrat mayor.

Lafayette needs to jackup their prices.

As of the end of 2024, Atlanta city limits had 47% black and 39% white
Hang the freaking banner.

This is true, but I assume when people discuss black middle class and Atlanta they mean the metro. The reality is that there is pretty minimal SFH true "middle class" in Atlanta regardless of race. Even in multifamily, most of those people are either on their way to upper middle or are poor.

I wouldn’t go that far lol - it’s still liberal as shite but luckily it’s the somewhat moderate liberal types and not the Portland Oregon liberal types

This is correct. Atlanta is to the right of Portland, Seattle and Denver.

Move to Clayton
Is this a thing? Just curious. My family lived there many years ago.
Posted on 6/16/25 at 9:57 pm to TexasTiger89
Clayton County is now 69% Black and 9% White.

And our Mayor is tolerable in my opinion. Even though he is a dem, he tried to get involved with the election with some of the woke TDS shite and Atlanta shot his arse down with a quickness when he tried so he backed off
I honestly wished all democrats acted like our Mayor - it would really be for the better of the country

there is a new "Mecca". it's the Carnival Cruise Line.

It's so disheartening that virtually every major city in America has at least like 100k welfare sucking, crime committing garbage people that almost ruin the entire city for everyone else by themselves.
American cities would be so awesome if that class didn't exist kind a gigantic tumor on them.

She "invested her life" in some apartments that the city had to condemn?

29 people liked this - 29 people have no idea that party demographics and party stances changed over the last 150 years - case in point the 1960s and Lyndon B Johnson, the dixicrat, and the southern strategy.
I take it back, the baseline is worse that Delgado grads in here. The baseline is Chalmette High drop out.
Being by uneducated isn’t cute. Maybe in your little bubble or village it is. Pick up a book and try to read it if you can read

Name a successful Democrat city?
Posted on 6/17/25 at 3:33 am to SPEEDY
Pattern analysis says this happens as cities/counties turn more and more blue as measured by voting.

I have a lot of neighbors who have told me after Biden’s four years they will never vote for another democrat again. Something I’ve realized is half the people who have the “in this house we believe” signs in their yards don’t really believe it they are put there by their virtue signaling wives to fit in with the neighbors. The husbands aren’t the problem it’s their stupid wives who vote democrat for vanity reasons and to fit in their social circles.
