As my uncle once told me, “sure…y’all young nikkas own the night life but walk around in the daytime and tell me who’s running Atlanta.”

If Metro Atlanta does not represent the wealth disparity of Atlanta proper then

I thought Atlanta was supposed to be a Black Mecca...this is really troubling to read.

There are 2 Atlanta’s for Black people.

The ones with education and careers buying homes



And the ones down bad trying to heal childhood traumas

People not from Atlanta don’t even understand there are 2 Decaturs. They visit downtown Dec, see how nice it is and wonder why 21 Savage act like it’s hood

I grew up in ClayCo and used to go to my parents' friends' house off Wesley Chapel as a kid so that's all the Decatur I knew. Fast forward to being 19 and meeting this chick who takes me to Java Monkey(RIP) and I'm like "bih where are we? This ain't no fukkin Decatur "

That must be 2 sides shyt ain't only for the westside

This is pretty much it, I know a bunch of folks that went down there from Cleveland and was fake living it up online but struggled even more down there and ended up having to comeback. You ain't about to prosper without an education or some sort of skillset needed to build revenue.

These folks think Atlanta is Wakanda and you just go there and become rich overnight because on IG, everyone is hiring and paying at least $40hr

How they beat Baltimore has my head blown

Average is skewed by the extremes, median would give us a clearer picture.

Probably the same story with DC proper vs. the whole DMV.

Crack; already happened.

Gotta be the CITY of Atlanta cause ain't no way that's Metro or the surrounding counties.

t's bad in the metro. The area is catering for out of state business & people. Building luxury apartments (surprisingly not a lot of people can afford, tearing down neightborhoods and local businesses,etc

There's only one Decatur. There is the City of Decatur then there is all of unicorporated Dekalb County that uses Decatur as a mailing address. You'll know if it's Decatur if the Decatur police show up vs. Dekalb county police.

 

[bourgeoisie tall freak]

i could say "im glad im doing twice as better as the white family median" but that being said, to know that even if you are doing "good" you probably would be doing much more if you white
