those are two bad examples of blacks thriving in NYC

Not at all. Harlem still has the most Black businesses (not per capita) and big enclaves of Dominicans and Africans.

Crown Heights is still very much Black and has high home ownership so I do not see that changing soon. Bed Stuy is going to fall soon, though.

Isn't Google FIber coming to a College Park and a few other areas, too?

With the movie industry expanding, this shyt about to be a wrap.

Only thing holding it back is MARTA.
only certain areas:

Google said in February it was considering rolling out Google Fiber service to Avondale Estates, Brookhaven, College Park, Decatur, East Point, Hapeville, Sandy Springs and Smyrna. The company said it hoped to make a decision before the end of 2014. Google now says it needs more time.

lol yup, he frequently visits V103 and is normal as heck, he could be the GOAT governor or something, Him and Corey Booker are two of the few politicians I rock with. I just see hating CACs blocking his shine on the larger scale, but in ATL nobody utters bad word about him minus the Street Car that many people think is a waste.
that street car shyt gonna change ATL:

look at the final plan :wow:

i don't want to derail this thread but the outskirts of the city have much more successful/middle class blacks (North Bronx, Eastern Brooklyn, Eastern Queens)

back to Atlanta tho :win:

hows public transportation?
housing costs?
unemployement rate?

People like to sh*t on HBCUs but them joints train you how to deal with CACs the only down fall is they push climbing the corporate ladder more than showing entrepreneurship is an option too.
I don't know about all that how to deal,with a "cac" shyt you pumping. I don't have a problem with hbcus either since I went to one for a year but dealing with cacs wasn't on any of the curriculum I took. Also Even if you goto a PWI its more about working a job than entrepreneurship for the most part so idk what your talking about.

It really don't matter where you from here. If you a hustler then you'll go there and do well. If you a broke and lazy nikka in your hometown then you'll move to the A and just be another dusty jealous nikka.
This nikkas think I'm going to move to Atl and now I'm balling when they going to be the same person wherever they are. It sounds like cats that have to goto different schools, countries, etc to get bad chicks by reinventing themselves. Its only so long before that fake you running wears off lol

I'm from NYC where cops can harass for no reason. I could be arrested for walking to the groceries. It's a city where you're ticketed to death if you have too much skin pigmentation.

Anyway, how are the cops in Atlanta? Can I drive around the city without being pulled over for no fukking reason?

I think PG county, Arlington VA if the black population continues to increase and maybe even Baltimore will catch Atlanta.



:what: You must never been to Bmore or PG. I'm in Greenbelt Md as I type this. Blacks in this area don't network and work together nearly as much as they do down south.

Black Pop. in Arlington, I just moved from Arlington/Shirlington. What Black population? It's might be 10%. No way you live here. I've been here since 2004.
