Atlanta not the same

[EBK String]

I was there last week. The energy is completely different from when I first visited in the early 00's and is different from how it was the last time I was there just three years ago.

I remember when I used to go to Atlanta it felt black as hell. Black people were everywhere and the cacs you saw were natives.

Now all i see are cacs who clearly arent from there. shyt is now flooded with these cacs who arent from Atlanta or even the south who have changed the southern character of the city. Even the moist dudes I saw were white

All i saw in the sky were cranes building even more luxury high rises which will continue this gentrification process smh. All the black ppl I saw were working retail or grocery stores or driving uber.

Atlanta has always been about black ppl flexing their political power, but the politicians have sold them out for this new cac money flooding in.

Not saying you wrong.....but all cities have the same formula these days.....capitalize on their inner core.

You can go to downtown Raleigh and see the same shiit.

What should ATL have done differently?

I moved to Atlanta 2 years ago and have to disagree with OP. Atlanta is still black as fukk. As an outsider that’s used to living in cities where black folks are usually concentrated to certain parts of the city, It’s dumbfounding how black Atlanta is EVERYWHERE you look.

ATL brehs should have copped property within city limit's and not tricking on strippers and bum azz thots

I went down there a couple of months before 9/11 and it was a totally different world. Even underaged dudes could have gone to a pool party or sneak in a strip club and got his dikk wet by some broad FOR FREE back in 2001.

Now all these broke sex workers, bum azz trap dudes, unemployed women, career students, and all kinds of bullshyt ruined the culture.

when those property taxes go up

 

[O.T.I.S.]

It’s different but not because of white people..

Not just because of the black gays that are migrating from other cities and shyt..

its all the pumpfaking transplants moving there to along with them... I had to bounce myself. shyt was great in the early 00’s... went back and it wasn’t the same at all
