Atlanta has gotten so much attention here on City Data.com. People on this website are always hyping up Atlanta trying to make Atlanta one of the best cities in the US. Everyone wants the whole world to revolve around Atlanta, putting Atlanta on a pedestal. I'm really getting sick of all you people on here making such a big fuss over Atlanta. Atlanta is one city I'm sick of. I hate Atlanta. I'm so glad that I can finally speak me mind on here now since I'm a member.

Wow if I've ever seen a hater lmao...First of all Atlanta is an amazing city. Maybe not the best but one of the best by far. Almost every black person I know plans on moving to Atlanta at some point in their life. Not because it's been hyped up but because they have been there and they love the culture, hospitality, and overall vibe of the city. Have you ever been to Atlanta? If you have you don't like it then that's fine it's your opinion but don't get upset because Atlanta is (and has always been) one of the most important cities in American history.

Ok now, THAT'S a stretch. Let's not go to the other extreme.

There was a key word u missed in His statement. he says that every black person HE knows plans on moving to Atlanta.. so how would that be to the extreme. He may only know 10 African Americans.

Maybe, but I just don't want people getting the idea that that's representative of all or even most Black people. Sure there are a lot of Black people who have moved to Atlanta, but it's not like that's a majority of Black America.

I'm black and personally I've had it with black America. I don't want to live nowhere near too many black folk anymore. I can't stand the color and victim mentality that is so prevalent in our communities. I just want to be a normal American. I don't want to talk about the white man, racism, and all that crap. It don't matter where you go or what economic level blacks are at. They always have this same mentality. And it's freaking ignorant. Just live where you wanna live damn it. Why does it have to be where black people are at? Half of the time they are too busy judging you for being successful. So why live where a majority of them are at? Lol Next.
