Keisha Lance Bottoms throws the mayor job in the bushes

[DrBanneker]

Also message. The young black atlanta population got to be careful or they gonna look back and realize they fukked up a lot of opportunities. Especially not trying to fill the void when the older black politicians stepped down. Jokers gonna slowly be locked out their own city. But we seen this before with detroit as you said and in cleveland all in the 60s and 70s.

The real issue in losing ATL is a lot of the Black wealth in the city was built off of Blacks getting a fair shake at government contracts, especially Hartsfield-Jackson airport. Besides that, on balance though, unlike big cities up north Black people are a power in the burbs especially in places like DeKalb, Fulton (though most of this is ATL), parts of Rockdale and Clayton, and increasingly former white counties like Gwinnett or Cobb. When I grew up, people didn't live in ATL midtown etc. like that except in Southwest, West End, etc. The current gentrified areas were really poor and the Black Wall Street of Auburn Ave. in downtown ATL had already been in decline. All the 80s and 90s Black migrants moved in to the burbs mostly. If Black people build wealth and leverage there it could compensate in ways the Blacks in the north could not.

I used to love Atlanta of the 80s, 90s and early 2000s.... because it was native Georgia blacks building small businesses or had good jobs and then the influx of rappers from elsewhere started creeping in and then the broke nikkas from all over started running down there with no plan having kids everywhere and now u have people

Yeah I grew up and loved that Atlanta. Then everyone heard about it, especially via media and entertainment and moved down there. 80s and 90s migrants and GA natives were a different breed. I remember South DeKalb mall where I grew up being full of Black business, etc. Last time I went it was looking down and out with all the stores owned by South Asians. People think ATL is going miraculously change their life when they weren't doing shyt elsewhere.

 

[OG Talk]

What middle school you go to? What HS? You ever stood in line at the 559? What mall you used hang out at, Shannon, Green Briar, South Dekalb? (Every transplant knows Lennox). What Marta bus numbers did you take as a kid? What squad were you on at Gresham Park? What’s the last spot Hosea Williams did Thanksgiving Dinner? You ever hoop at Run and Shoot? What was the booty club next to it called? How much were lap dances? Remember The Gate? What spot in Buckhead had the freakiest white hoes. Chilli Pepper, Oxygen, World Bar, Makos or Bell Bottoms?

[Harry B]

If you don't come into politics rich, you've got to graduate rich

 

[Harry B]

Damn....Biden offered her a diplomat position....she should have took that first

Her resume is still intact, she might do that in 10 years from now, Sasha Obama might be a 50 year old president when she's Biden's age

Honestly, apart from the whole snow storm thing a few years back, I didn’t feel anything wrong with him. Why not bring him back?
