Keisha Lance Bottoms throws the mayor job in the bushes

[Piff Perkins]

People throwing around money at strip clubs, shooting each other at malls and burning down buildings like white people aren’t waiting in the cut to turn this into the next Detroit. They are going to take that city within the decade and ATL brehs won’t do shyt to prevent it.

Uhhhhh....Why are y'all so sure Bottoms will be the last Black ATL Mayor?

she won't be the last, dont listen to these dudes who aren't from ATL or know the system.

This shyt is shocking tho.

She was trying to serve two sets of people, when it boils down to it, shes just a chick from Southwest Atlanta, you gotta make some decisions that are going to upset some folks. That Rayshard Brooks shyt wounded the hell out of her, then the Buckhead trying to leave Atlanta thing was a death blow.


The next mayor is def gonna be a cac.

Its been a hellavu year for Keisha...CoVid hit, Rayshard Brooks happened and the city literally burned. The crime in Buckhead has been simmering and the Buckhead leaving Atlanta shyt won’t happen but it’s been talked about for decades. On top of that she was low key a candidate for VP. So I don’t think it’s any one thing as much as it was/is that she’s tired. Again it’s been a hellavu year, she might just need a reset out of the public eye

Mohammad Reed coming back. There will be more black mayors, there will just hostility between them and the people.

She’s knew she wasn’t going to win... That was Atlanta’s last black mayor unfortunately.

She’s still really popular (amongst black people at least) and she raised 500k during her last fundraiser so I don’t think she was completely out the race…


I’m kind of surprised she doesn’t want to put up a fight. When I first read the story an hour ago I thought it was fake when I read the Walgreen’s shyt. I was like

She must be the reason Walgreens got that new commercial with John Legend trying to guilt nikkas into getting the vaccine

She probably some marketing exec for them

 

[AVXL]

Damn I hope his doesn’t happen. Do y’all think there are any potential strong black Candidates that can put up the good fight in Atlanta

Its on Felicia Moore, Atlanta City Council President She’s one of the top candidates now. I think Kasim might slide back in but I’m now sure how I feel about him running again

I think Kwanzaa Hall might be interested too.

It’s gonna be wide open

 

[duncanthetall]

lol i wouldn't do that


isn't amazon getting in the pharma game now?

it might be a wrap for walgreens/cvs

Walgreens has deals with Kroger where I am and carry a lot of their products. shyt I shop there more than the grocery store now cause it’s closer. I bet they doin aite

and I won't entertain you either.

gentrification.

The only reason Keisha won was because southwest Atlanta showed out for her and at the time they loved her. Demographics shifts might mean that’s the last time those stars align. Cacs been tryna get Mary Norwood in there for 12 years. I think the next mayor will be a white lesbian

What parts of ATL metro are gentrified black folks in ATL proper being pushed to?

i also personally go to CVS because it's closest to me, but in general i prefer to go to drug stores unless i gotta go to a full grocery/retail spot for something they don't carry myself.

so i hope Amazon doesn't fukk up the game for them, but idk. i got no hope.
