Average household income in Buffalo is around $30,000; And over 1/3 of Buffalo is black. I'm not sure you are being accurate here OP. What type of work did the blacks you know do?

It's pretty ok. I stay in a middle-upper class black neighborhood and I actually get waved at when I drive through the neighborhood. shyt caught me off guard. As far as the city. You find of like minded individuals in the city of Atlanta who are all about positive thinking and moving forward.

I live between Atl and La, a lot of successful young black people. Im in entertainment so its common. Cool to see my people on their grind at a young age, always a mutual respect for the come up. If you can travel do it as much as you can, it will open your eyes up breh

That's what I was trying to get at. Indeed, Buffalo is extremely impoverished.

Atlanta isn't as glorious as people think. it puts on a fancy front because of the constant movement and elite controlled construction and gentrification, but it has alot of problems and unemployment/income disparities between blacks and whites are at an all time high in the city
