Well this is the problem...I AM in those circles so for all this talk about not being plugged, in...it kinda matters. I won't lie...I can't mingle with dudes who aren't about it...and if education is that barrier, i'm willing to admit that. But we need a standard out here. You can't save everyone.

being an HBCU grad working a corporate gig and being part of Atlantas Black Middle class i find this to be a real intresting dynamic. pretty much there is a blue print to get into these circles which is to 1.Go to an HBCU Tech, Emory, or some Ivy league, be greek, go to one of the historic black churches in the city, my gripe with Atlantas talented 10th community is that its a bunch lf people trying to out do each other, it is up to our generation to use these networks tk make moves that make sense for the greater community and of course our pockets/building wealth.

Talking all this education and your reading comprehension is shyt.

Smh...I low key gave women of ATL a compliment by saying they're not quick to fukk.

I was in EVERY circle...almost...
No you're not.

Not with the dumbass shyt you post.

Lets be real fam. You're one of the dudes people talk about when they say "ATL is great but...."

Everything after that "but..." is about dudes like you.

Based on what you post here and how well documented some of your views are, we know you're really not about making any serious or respectable moves.

I don't want to go in further, but lets just agree on the fact we both know that you're woefully under equipped to be of value to any serious aspect of the culture of black progress beyond doing some fringe shyt like attending a few places.

nikka...

Or half-nikka...

However you put it. I see the smart dumb shyt you post, and also how you try post up like you're a constellation of intelligence. ..foh...dikkinthebootyass nikka.

Who the fukk told you YOU'RE a shining star in the black community? Keep listening to them c00ns and dikksuckers if you want too. A nikka like me laughing at you because...my intelligence is superior PLUS my crusty, dusty, ashy, ass knuckles will push your wig into the Chattahoochee...bytch.

Basically the type nikka who will tell you in front your cac and c00n friends to pull your draws out ya ass nikka...and you hate me for that. ..lol. Yep...

So stfu when you see a nikka like me speaking and play your position as a metrosexual, man bag toting, body spray using, p*ssy, who avoids eye contact with a nikka like me.
When you're doing all this fake-anger, you can tell me what organizations you're apart of or what you've actually done in Atlanta...then we'll talk about who you know.

I don't want to embarrass you talking about what you actually do for a living...because we know its not much.

Hey.

You can't help everyone.

But everyone I know is pulling that paper. Lets not pretend that every white person is out here balling too.

ATL has a real legit core community of movers and shakers and getting into that circle is a priority of the highest degree. You can't be mad that they won't lower their standards just to pretend that being black is just enough.

The good thing about ATL is that if you have the credentials, you will be just fine.

What I'm talking about is people who move to ATL just to drive FedEx trucks or something else that really just an entry-level job.

Work is everywhere...but if you're rally about starting a political or economic base...then we can talk.

We need to distinguish this stuff.

Exactly, tell folks this all the time. Most people on this forum just by having a pc with internet access is doing better or having a better quality of life than hick in hicktown usa.
Thank you

See, i've got no problem with pushing people to move to black communities. I got ties from the SWATS to Clay Co and Henry County up to Alpharetta and Johns Creek...

but...all those people are DOING IT.

They're not fukking bartenders or doing hair. They're business people in finance, law, medicine, engineering, healthcare, management, entrepreneurship ...and not bullshyt entrepreneurship of running some franchise but actual hardcore businesses that create products and weave their assets into tight relationships with their communities in ways that their communities come to rely on their presence.

Oh thats it? GREAT answer.

I can tell I hit a nerve.

oh ok...keep slinging that bullshyt while i'm getting my hair cut. Ya'll types give me entertainment when i'm in the city.

You lame nikkas who don't even respect credentials or actual effort with real bosses, not just club promoters and d-boys washing money.

I guarantee you a doctor-dentist-lawyer-pharmacist-entreprenuership network AND one maintained among the kids of those people is worth way more than any of the bullshyt you're pushing out here.

Your shyt is getting old out here.

Do you know your local council members? School board members? What community organizations do you lead? Where do you volunteer at? What professional organizations are you tied into? WHO MATTERS THAT KNOWS YOU?

No one?

Oh ok.

I fukking thought so.

When you're REALLY in that circle, and hell we can compare on a BASIC LEVEL just linkedIn pages, then we know who is just flapping their gums on some fake revolutionary shyt and who is really about it.

Of course, there needs to be an "Agenda Class", my thing is ive said in other threads we need to focuse more on creating an economic base that protects us, Atlanta has more of a situation where there are more so blacks who can play the game with the White supremacist than blacks creating a system of protection. Well to do blacks still send their kids to white private schools patron white high class establishments ,etc. Imo Atlanta should have had an elite Private school a long time ago, we have some good Charter schools but with the amount of blacks doing it big we should have some of the best black run private schools in the nation. Also we lack strong intown communities, its more so we will have a few businesses and our churches are in town but we live in the outskirts.

Like I said, you're reading comprehension is shyt, must be 3rd grade level.

I haven't lived in Atlanta for 10 years!

There's no way you can embarrass me...unless Obama saw you standing next to me and thought you were my gay son...but certainly not by what I do for a living.

nikka I don't flip burgers or slang garbage bags! Though I wouldn't be embarrassed by that either!

All that matters to me is I'm 110% man and field negro!

Well...things are changing. Slowly but surely. I'm not disagreeing with you on this point, but things seem to be progressing this way...
