I was in Atlanta last week and I’ll have to respectfully disagree.

Define this, or define “culture” as it’s used in this phrase.

Cultural loss refers to the erosion or disappearance of a community's distinct cultural identity, practices, traditions, or social fabric, often due to external pressures like gentrification, displacement, or assimilation. In the context of Atlanta’s shifting demographics, it describes the decline of Black cultural heritage—such as community traditions, local businesses, music scenes, or neighborhood histories—as Black residents are displaced by rising costs and gentrification. This can manifest in fewer Black-owned establishments, diminished community events like historic block parties, or the fading of shared narratives tied to places like the Atlanta BeltLine neighborhoods. It reflects a loss of intangible elements that define a group's cohesion and legacy, even as economic growth occurs.

Please quit committing verbal atrocities on this forum by using the word “Hispanics”. These people are LatinX damnit.

Funny you say that as I was attending an Urban Institute seminar and they project that Orleans Parish will be no longer be a majority African American city by the 2030 census. It was 67% in 2000 and in 2023 it was at 54.3% and the African American community had been steadily dropping 1% per year the last 7 years in a row.

Hispanics are fastest growing demographic.
