Forbes: Atlanta is where Black Americans are doing the best economically

[Warren Moon]

trust I know, I think the next gen Black will get the job done, I live near Tech Square and its beautiful whats going on there, I went to this thing called Goodie Hack and its a lot of black Techies in the city, low key we can make Atlanta the Black Silicone Valley

Yeah ur boy just had his own pitch last week for funding for a startup. Pitched to all rich black people






It was an insparational experience man, u really can make it

 

[AAKing23]

It's true brehs, Since I moved here last year I've recieved more opportunities in a year than I did while living in PA for damn near 10 years


Mad job offers, acceptances to major universities, powerful black figures wanting to take me under their wing and much, much more

When I lived in Cincinnati and was trying to find some place to live I checked out Miami, LA, Chicago, DC, and Atlanta. I settled on Atlanta because it had the lowest cost of living and I saw black people doing well EVERYWHERE. Real talk when I first moved came to visit I saw nikkas pushing bentleys, Aston Martins, Maseratti's and the c00n in me immediately assumed they were either slangin or entertainers. Come to find out there are a lot of brehs out here just doing legit biz making a killing. My homeboy is like 27 living in a 10,000 square foot mansion eating off this real estate hustle. One of the first nights I went out after moving here and I seen a long line of bentley's, ferrari's, lamborghini's and aston martin's leaving the club. All had their top down. All had dimes in the whip. All dirven by black men

If you have that entrepreneurial spirit, you can't get do much better than Atlanta IMO. If you have career prospects, moving to ATL is an incredible choice. Just don't be one of them dumb nikkas that think you gonna move here, make 8/hr, and some beyonce looking broad is gonna start thirstin over you.

There's a lot of beautiful women here but there's a whole lot of balling ass nikkas too. Steel sharpen steel though so use that shyt to your motivation, I know I sure as hell did

Time to start networking, was told to look into real estate, sounds like relocating is a great idea, one of my older brehs does real estate in Phoenix, so I'm going to have to get some info. Sounds like it can be a new beginning for me

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.

 

[philmonroe]

Its not about a city its about individuals period.

 

[JamilALAmin]

I know Wali from College, dont know any of his fam just that they started the company, he always kept it Low Key.

If you fukk with that boy Whali you good people then bruh. The Deens don't fukk with no sideways nikkas.

Parents stay out in Douglasville...place had potential 10 years ago but kind of stagnated after the construction/housing crash. Supposedly, Tyler Perry is building a movie studio compound out there so it should help. But yeah, I heard about the government being all White and the city being 65% Black and that shyt don't make no damn sense.

I think he already has something there, he also is about to buy Fort Mcphearson in the City and develop that into a studio thats going to bring more jobs, some c00n on the City Board was trying to block it and Kasim Reed and Gov Deal got her out of there.

Kasim Reed the GOAT mayor of the last 20 yrs, dude has done so much for the City its crazy. Dude from the City, pops was on that NOI Build a Black Nation tip (his name is actually Muhammad Kasim Reed) Went to an HBCU, and got a Bad wife who also went to Howard and she the grand daughter of a Arthur Langford (the guy who Langford Parkway is named after)


Black Excellence

Meh, I reckon I'm fine in Chicago. Will visit sometime in the future after I visit L.A.

 

[JamilALAmin]

Yea Buford Hwy has a bunch of Mexicansbut are they still moving out of the ATL in mass like I last heard?

Nah they deep as ever.

 

[Warren Moon]

How did you meet those cats to pitch your idea and how was the process?

Well I work with alot of Venture capital firms already, so I knew all the black ones. Atlanta has three black accelator/vc firms which is unheard of anywhere else. But I just sent them my pitch over email, didnt get feedback for months. But talked to em all personally and eventually got them together and pitched em.


I should hear back hopefully tomorrow. Im checking my email like every hour though; nervous as hell.



I just hope it works.



@bdizzle
I sent u a message about 5 months telling u I could help u get in contact with some firms when I saw u had some ideas.

Lots of Black excellence going on up there it just get overshadowed by the bytch ass media. Chicago is a dope ass city. By far my favorite place besides the A. The southside is a beautiful thing. Just one huge mass of Black folks.
