My NYC Black Folk......Gentrification

lol Harlem hasn't been the Black capital for 30 years.

30 years? Atlanta is? Having a black population in the financial capital of the world has been and continues to be a benefit to AA's.

Atlanta proper is losing AAs tho. Most of em just live in the metro.

Hold on while I get my dictionary Seriously, I know you are a champion of the south

I'm not arguing. I know Atlanta has come up over the years, but if it was up to you all the black people living in New York would move down south. Those that have to move and want to move will (and already have), but not everyone has or wants to move down south.

God damn right, infact most that move south don't even want too, they have too.

I enjoy visiting Atlanta, but that lifestyle ain't for me. I can't live anywhere that spread out

Seriously? Anything post 2006 Harlem is losing black folk, but A LOT. To the point where even the native people from there are getting mad. That hustler shyt and not owning anything cost them everything in the long run.
