Which city is the LA of the South: Houston or Atlanta?

[Barlow]

I said close to west. That western influence is obviously seeping thru to them. Again nobody in the dirty is on that cowboy shyt at all. There's a reason that all the cowboy movies are labeled westerns and not southerns.

You know black people migrated out to the west right? Not the other way around.

the south doesn’t ride horses because of westerns. Also MS is the definition of the southeast southern states. This is the first time in my life I’m ever hearing it referred to as west in any way

The south that I've lived in doesn't ride horses at all really. Not BLACK people at least. There are a number of large land owning cacs that have horses. Alot of cacs that wear the cowboy boots too. Not black people though.


I don't really consider MS the west. When I was in the military, two of my best boys was from MS. We were in Colorado which is huge on that cowboy shyt and we used to clown them because that was our first exposure to the shyt.

Houston is part of the west. The south only goes as far west as Louisiana.
if you border states like new Mexico and Oklahoma you basically in cowboy boot country. aint no swamps in texas and there aint' no cacti in the south.

might be the dumbest post I seen today so far.

Atlanta is the Atlanta of the south. GA is the empire state of the south. We don't need to be the new LA or NYC or whatever. We have a rich civil rights heritage thats unique to the dirty south that no other region can really compare to. GA in general is still pretty against the coastal elite style lifestyle of NY and CA, Atlanta being the obvious exception.



I don't mean to imply that we're perfect or Wakanda or any of that bullshyt but I'm just saying.

Whats the point of mentioning NYC or LA

When you cant compare to Dallas,Houston or Chicago

not really, the had whole genre of films called "westerns" that were predominantly set in texas. nobody watches The Alamo and thinks that was a southern movie. clearly not a unique opinion.

The OP is the one that mentioned LA, I personally think California is full of weirdos outside of the gang bangers who seem more like what I'm used to. I don't think the conversation is about city size or whatever you seem to be going on about though.

And the thing is, I've been to Houston Dallas and SA, got mad family in Chicago and been there multiple times. Don't care to visit NY.

All I'm gonna say is that I'm glad I'm from where I'm from...

Texas is BOTH a Southern and Western state. It just depends on which part of Texas you're in. In Houston, it's Southern. In El Paso, it's Western.

Demographic-wise, Houston is similar to Los Angeles. It's also sprawling and notoriously smoggy and near the coast.

But Atlanta is practically the second or third biggest center of entertainment in the US and many Black people move there for the hopes of getting into the industry.

What does the Coli think?

Hmm, I guess Atlanta is, but Houston is the most important city in the south, it has a port, also 4th highest city for population density behind NYC and LA.

I've been to London and Paris and all over Europe when I was living there. Its nothing personal against NY I just generally despise the big city life. I'm even bout tired of Atlanta which is probably one of the smallest "big cities" out there. Atlanta is already full but nikkas keep relocating here. In 10 years it'll be unbearable.


Living in a decent suburb or the sticks even while being close to a city >>>>

Lol maybe if you're a Cac or Hispanic. Sure.

Swamps are in Texas and there are cacti in the south. You can look this stuff yp, you know....

Houston is nowhere close to the third most densely populated city. Not even close....

Houston probably is closer to LA, I've heard the comparison before but never been to Houston to see it. What I do know is it isnt nearly as densely populated as LA and lacks some of the higher level amenities that make LA what it is, but I imagine it has to be closer to LA than Atlanta...

Lived in Atlanta and nothing tangible reminds of LA. In the most inclusive sense I guess the fact that its an entertainment and pop culture mecca, as well as a city with a bunch of suburbs that feel like the inner city, those things are similar like LA, but nothing tangible reminds of LA at all...

Lol maybe if you're a Cac or Hispanic. Sure.

Its either Houston or Atlanta and I'm comfortable calling it a tie. Both those two are the heavyweights of the South and you can make the argument for either. And you can't dismiss how whites and spicy whites feel about a place when overall both have a larger share of US population than we do...

Atlanta is entirely unique in being a major city that is majority black on the metropolitan level. Nowhere else is like Atlanta in that sense, so basing opinions on what you would see in Atlanta is flawed as Atlanta isnt representative of the average black community in America...

But I got Houston and Atlanta as co-capitals of the South. And oh yeah, white people love Atlanta...
