Nice try though.
there is so much more about Atlanta than just rap. I mean Martin Luther King anybody?????

You know,when I was writing this I thought about the strange similarities.Someone also Repped and said the same about you.oddly enough they left no name.I guess they thought I would be two faced.
So sad some people need to resort to such low and childish games.It's just a forum for gods sake!

I have said my piece. I just think it is sad that in 2010 some still equate Black with Bad. Atlanta is firmly the Black Capital of America whether some want to accept it or not. Being Black does not make it a bad place, it is what has made it such a successful place for African Americans and I only see its Black population growing. Using terms like "Ghetto" are just code words for Black neighborhoods. I just hope the racism one day ends and we can all live in harmony. Who cares if a place is majority black, it is not a stain on you. We are all human after all. Good day, and please stop accusing me of being other posters, it is childish and not why I joined this forum.

BET and TV one is based in the DC area and Ebony/Jet is based in Chicago. What do you mean I'm wrong?

You know that is not what we are talking about. We are obviously saying that Atlanta is more then just "black folk" and so called "black music".

About it being warm year round in Atlanta. A very key "not" was left out of that post.
