The 7 Black candidates, not demographic shifts, is the real issue. We have no code.
We have no code cause everybody ain't eating. That was the biggest thing I saw in Atlanta. Its cliques and shyt, if you not in the loop, it's a wrap for you
Truth. My cousin was roommates with Caesar Mitchell back at Morehouse so that's for whom he's been campaigning. My family in Atlanta run in Maynard Jackson, Herman J. Russell family circles so my assumption was that that crowd was mostly backing Mitchell.
My mentor was roommates and on the football team with John Eaves back when he was at Morehouse. Mentor is pretty big too but he's not originally from Atlanta.
What's messed up about it is that my mentor and Mitchell were members of the same Omega Psi Phi chapter at Morehouse so there would have been easy backing there but both Eaves and Mitchell essentially split the Morehouse vote.
Not to mention, Vincent Fort being a Clark Atlanta graduate splintering, even more, the AUC base vote.
Even more crazy, cousin's wife is in some of the same organizations as Keisha Lance Bottoms so that's who she threw her support behind.
But ya'll right, that's one of the things I've always hated about Atlanta, there just too many cliques who don't be on code and not enough consolidation of black power among the younger generations.
How dare you!
