Apparently Atlanta is a very hot market for tech. I don't see a lot of "Twitter Famous" / "Github Famous" black devs from there though. What's the deal? Can somebody break down the racial composition for tech jobs in Atlanta for me?

Why limit yourself to dealing with black people? Work with whoever's willing to work with you. There's no such thing as race loyalty.

Clearly you've never lived around a significant amount of south asians / east asians. Race loyalty may not always pan out but when it does it achieves beautiful results. I wouldn't actively discriminate against talented devs but I'd definitely be biased towards hiring black devs just because of the struggles I know they must endure in the industry.

Ok your post is somewhat cryptic ... care to elaborate?

In the black tech world there is a mini battle going on, with who should be the face hbcu people or pwi black ppl. More pwi in the space but idk there's just some discourse about working collaborative. A pwi accelerator that was going to be a Howard and morehouse/spelman got nixed by some old head hbcu grad bc a pwi dude was running it. These were going to be state of the art facilities too. All bc of some bs ole school pride stuff. It also stopped a black vc fund for all black people bc the hbcu ppl
Wanted it just for them. So much progress is stopped off hbcu pride bs it's ridiculous
