:ohhh: I'm hitting the A up in June to see for myself.

See if I really want to move to DC/DMV or reconsider. What's the African community looking like? :lupe:

It's a decent number of Africans in the A. They spread out tho, some here some there. Campbellton Rd in SW got a decent # of Africans and I think College Park does too but the big African communities are in Dekalb and Gwinnett County. Stone Mountain and Clarkston got a shyt load of Ethiopians and West Africans.

Clarkston is Somali country.

True. The smaller cities in Georgia are :scust: Unless you're a middle aged cac male, a graduate degree is pretty much mandatory if you want to make enough money there to not live in a slum that makes you go :huhldup:

Yeah lot of people don't realize how grimey Georgia is as a state. Macon is on some LA gang banging shyt and they take it very seriously, Augusta is hood, Albany is a shyt hole, and Savannah is the most grimey of all, it looks like a smaller version of New Orleans. Columbus is the only halfway decent city in GA and that ain't really saying much.

:blessed::blessed::blessed::blessed::blessed:
We eating down here, and companies are flocking to the city, Benz is announced they are relocating their USA HQ to the city.

ATL gotta be the only city where Cops stereotype white folks in the hood (that aren't completely gentrified), because 8/10 they come to the hood to buy heroine.

ATL is MB's largest American retail market. They sell more Benzes in the metro than both South Florida and So. Cali. Same with Lexus.

I believe the Top Benz dealer in the City is owned by a black dude too, its either the top Benz or BMW dealer. Atlanta would be the easiest to make the new Black Wallstreet the fact is all the blacks are spread out, there are many burbs with majority black pops but their governments are majority White, like Douglassville for example.

They can and they are. I like living in the northeast so atl and down south in general won't work for me outside of a few spots. They have great housing prices but that's it to me though.

Bruh you in the 215? Cmon bruh, there are nikkas getting to the money everywhere but outside of a few cities you not gonna see large groups of Black folks doing they thing. And Philly ain't one of them. nikkas is getting money in NY, ATL, DC, LA, and Chicago but outside of a few areas in Texas and a few in NC that's it. Even Detroit nikkas get more money than Philly nikkas.

NAh Blacks in NYC aint eating, them cats out there looking sick and being forced to the outskirts by hipsters, NYC cats that Come to ATL are like c00n Africans that come to America, stay hating on where they are and the people there, but can't go back to their home because its a sh*thole. Most other people who relocate to ATL love it though.

Yep...Greg Baranco....dude started off as a salesman and went around to his homeboys and got them to invest in an Oldsmobile Dealership....him and his wife flipped that into one of the largest automotive corps in the south.

Most NY nikkas I ran across in the A was humble tho. They wasn't on no loud rah rah shyt. I think ATL and Miami the only 2 cities in the south were nikkas not really impressed with where a nikka is from

Nah, we are still thriving in Harlem and in places like Crown Heights.
