Inner city Atlanta is as violent as any part of LA, Chicago, Memphis, or St. Louis
What does this even mean? You guys just throw around stuff without any firsthand knowledge, and this is coming from someone who left Buckhead because of crime.
Vast swaths of "inner city Atlanta" are fine by any big city standard and certainly not as violent as any bad part of the cities you list.
The Bluff is Vine City/English Avenue and it's a pretty small part of town. Like 2 miles away you'll find boutique wine stores and hipster restaurants. There are lots of areas in "suburbs" that are worse than certain parts of "inner city" Atlanta.

Palmetto and that side of the south side has always been a mix of working class rednecks (admittedly, some are small business owners and reasonably wealthy) and semi-hood.
There is nothing on the Southside worth considering IMO. Unless you work for Delta or CFA, and even then...

I’d have to be out in McDonough or somewhere.

McDonough is terrible dude
People will say PTC because it's reasonably upper class, but you're still a long way from anything.
There are horse farms and whatnot, but unfortunately as you get out to more rural parts of the South metro it gets worse and worse aesthetically as you move toward central GA. Contrast with like, say, Milton, where the topography and hardwoods are a lot nicer (or even Serenbe, which is on the north end of the Southside). I just don't see a lot of hope for the southern crescent of ATL.

Haven't watched it so won't comment on it specifically.
Documentaries were once reliable sources of info. Now they are mostly about getting views and making money. The more dramatic, the better.
Or there is a clear agenda which colors the "facts."
Don't believe everything you see/hear.

Yea I rarely go south of Atlanta. I’m not someone who goes to Disney or the beach in FL and when I do drive it’s always west, north, or east.
I’m perfectly at home north of Atlanta. I did go through McDonough and Newnan and they seemed to have charming small town centers. I’ve been to Macon a few times for work and found it to be meh.

I’ve researched my family tree back until they were spit on and ostracized as soon as they stepped off the boat from Belfast Ireland.
Not a single slave has ever been owned by any generation in my family. Zero. We have fought, or have been called to fight, in every war this country has been in except for Korea and Iraq/Afghanistan.
But zero slaves. The census records, and other records prove it.

Really? I mean that could be any hood on a weekend night in Atlanta, or Birmingham, or Memphis, Jackson, NOLA.

Newnan does have a decent little downtown. Newnan went through a revitalization 15 or so years ago when all the PTC kids grew up and couldn't afford PTC, but it's since started a stark decline again IMO.

How in the heck did you get that from my post. I neither wrote that nor implied it.
The guy was shocked that this was America, and I told him, essentially, that we have a long pedigree of that.

As a New Orleanian I must say these people look like private school honor roll students compared to what we have.

It’s not a documentary. It’s a low budget movie…not real.

Has Penrod ever been right. I have been searching his post and can't find one.

The biggest problem the hood has isn't an inordinate amount of violence. It's apathy. There is almost no hope in the hood, because of the lack of father figures. Their mentors are typically racist tropes of the perpetually aggrieved.
At least a third of adult American black males are felons. Imagine what that number is in the hood. Now think of what that means for the children of these miscreants? Yeah. Not a lot of positive influence in their lives, so the cycle continues.
