Time to live in the real world. Look for a city with lots of diversity, but not a "black mecca."

The two aren't mutually exclusive you know. Or maybe you don't.

Well you guys know "diversity" these days cannot be anything that allows pluralism of black Americans. Hence why so many say how some areas of the metro area are so "diverse" yet lack any substantial population of any black residents. Most of the time those very areas are less than 10% black but "very diverse". I love how so many these days just want us black Americans to "just disappear" so things can flourish and be "diverse" in their shallow, myopic worldview.

Some areas of the Atlanta metro are diverse by any measure. Like Mableton.

Right. And of course, some people don't even understand that there is diversity within the Black community itself. Atlanta attracts a good amount of immigrants from the Caribbean and West Africa.

Mableton is not one of those areas I'm talking about...think north and north-northeast.

If I said I was looking for a white mecca, how would I be labeled?
