A couple years ago, I put my kids in a ballet class in the West End, right across the street from the Shrine of the Black Madonna.

Right before class started, when these white kids and their parents started coming up in there, I was legitimately confused...and a bit pissed honestly because I was trying to have my kids in what I thought was a black space. I overheard heard the mother telling someone how she had volunteered in South America, how the principal at the kid's school was gay and how she wanted her to kids to be exposed to diversity...

I was just like :snoop:, so you are one of them. Kids still acting like you would expect with the tantrums and being too precocious. I often wondered if i was the only person with this thought whenever they would come in for class. They were there for morning art classes and evening chess classes, too.

Born and raised in this Atlanta, though I lived by Bankhead as a kid, seeing this then and now continues to annoy the hell out of me. There was always a sprinkling of white folks we would find in the hood and you could tell that is genuinely where they came from. But this new crop that purposely comes to the majority black parts and sets up shop and think they are benefiting the social cause, I guess, trip me out. I can completely visualize everything you described seeing on Auburn Avenue and what the people probably looked and sounded like as well.

I remember me and my uncle talking about this 15-16 years ago. It wasn’t sudden but it’s here for sure now.

More Silicon valley liberals moving to the city. yay. :snoop:

:patrice:

The Jewish community in Atlanta has been growing CRAZY for the past few decades. Y'all have fukking holocaust memorials, more than one.

Whereas much of the Atlanta Jewish community has historically been deeply rooted families that prided in their Atlanta and Southern ties, the vast majority of the community today is made up of transplants, and almost a third of the community was born in New York. According to the 2006 population survey, Jews who have moved to the area in the last 10 years also outnumber those born in the area, particularly in the northern suburbs.[2]

Today there are 38 synagogues in the area – 33 founded after 1968, of which 24 were started between 1984 and 2006

There are also Holocaust memorials in Greenwood Cemetery and at the Marcus JCC's Zaban Park. The Marcus JCC is named in honor of Bernie Marcus, who along with Arthur Blank founded Home Depot,

White folks can have them 1400 sq ft. bungalows with street parking. fukk that. I need space.

A lot of folks jumping at that shyt are from other areas where not having a yard and parking is cool with them because the never had it anyway.
