So is the black population growing or shrinking there?

On wikipedia, it says that it was like 65 percent black in the 90's...but now it's like 55 percent.

Cacs moving back...why?

Blacks running to the burbs and CACs swooping in buying up old hoods, but even then city is still black as heck, but for example Zone 6 used to have the worst project in America, now its Hipsterville like Brooklyn turned into

Yup. I worked at an apartment complex in the Old 4th Ward.

Crazy how that's the same area Jeezy was ridin his lambo in during the Trap Or Die DVD. :wow:

Now its full of skinny jean wearing, artsty tartsy, "eclectic" muhfukkas.
I saw a white girl jogging at dusk on Boulevard Rd. :mindblown: Used to be Crip territory. Ask Slicc Pulla

I had an internship at City Hall East back in 07 before I went off to college, and it was still somewhat hood, when they tore done Grady Homes it was a wrap. I`m not mad they are cleaning up the city, I just hate Blacks arent taking advantage. Kasim be trying to put blacks on with programs like Invest Atlanta and its Gay folks and white out of towners buying up the city dirt cheap, cant be mad at them, cause Kasim cant just say "Yall n*ggas need to buy these homes! :damn:"

Wiki isn't a good source cuz it don't tell the whole story. Atlanta is weird bruh, it's really a region of counties. The city of Atlanta is small as fukk, it's only like 500K in the city limits but when people talking about the A they mean the whole metro. Not just the city. White folks is moving into the city itself but all the Black folks is doing is just moving out to the counties. If anything the metro area Black population is rising. Dekalb County which is considered the Eastside is whole separate city and county than Atlanta but it's still considered apart of Atlanta. Same with Cobb, Gwinnett, Fulton and Clayton.

Why can't other blacks in major cities can't be succesfully like Atlanta & DC
Atlanta's cheap and the barrier of entry ain't crazy but it's not cheap. I would say this, if you don't have the great resume(experience) or you aren't in a demanding field you can be SOL here more than anywhere else as an educated Blk person. Always be ahead of the curve. Atlanta is a place I would look into entrepreneurship without question.

That's wild. I had an internship down there at Parks & Rec. back in the day. I used to go down to the old Sears loading dock and smoke a blunt on my break. You must have been in the Next Step Program?

It has more to do with the black population "expanding" into the suburbs. But I dont think its decreasing.
