Are you just hanging around these threads to incite arguments? That seems to be all you do...it must be a lot of fun.

Mississippi I am talking about another thread because johnatl accused me of it in the Biloxi vs AC thread. I have not mentioned it in this thread. Sorry about bringing it up in this one.

I am bringing up Alabama because the reason for this thread is to compare and contrast the culture in Alabama and Atlanta.

Wrong...this thread was never meant to compare and contrast anything. The title doesn't mention Alabama.

No. It was created by someone who noticed racism in Atlanta.

And guess what according the economist Japan has been the most innovative country for 3 reports in a row. The entire digital age has been invented by Japan (yep those cds, dvds, micro processor, LCD, digital audio, digital camera, flash memory etc was all invented in Japan), along with the most important stem cell research and even the discovery of something like the vitamin. I guess europeans have alot to be thankful for, because the chinese invented the compass, printing, paper, even the first guns like the musket and "arm cannon" were chinese. You seem to believe everything the far right throws at you. "whites innovative, asians stagnate". Whites stagnated for centuries, japan and china stagnated for a few centuries, and now Japan is at the top of the scientific world (only after the US military). Read the catholic missionaries writings when they visited Japan and China and how advanced it was for them, same with Marco Polo.



False look at the statistics, nigerian immigrants for example have one of the highest degree attainment out of all immigrants to the US, period.


IQ doesnt play a role here because we dont know their real IQ, none of them have had the same life as some white suburban kid.


Who cares? Whites massacred them and "moved" into their land, and now you complain about minorities moving in your neighborhoods.


And let me guess, this is happening because of all the jews in NY. Actually no, crime in NY has been decreasing, the more multi cultural it is getting, the crime keeps decreasing. Explain that. Infrastructure, you can blame the corrupt government what does that have to do with race? Vancouver which is basically entirely "minority" has the best infrastructure in North America and was ranked as one of the top 3 cities in the world to live.



Really? Is that why japan has
#1 Longest lifespan in the world
#2 lowest crime rate in the developed world
#3 students score much better than whites
#4 Has a higher human development index than almost every white country.

If you actually go to Japan do you think its racial? It's pretty obvious it is cultural. South korea which is the same race, has crime digits almost triple that of japans different culture.

It's funny how you say the reason east asians have a higher IQ is because of schooling, but the reason whites have a higher iq than blacks, it must be racial. How about you go look at the conditions blacks grow up in, maybe that will explain to you the differences. If you dont think so then I will say us japanese are superior to city fanatic because of our higher IQ and it is purely racial, and he must be crazy for suggesting it is because of schooling/culture.

You really called him out for what he is.Ignores certain data but accepts what he likes when it supports his argument.

You can't believe that someone would experience racism in Atlanta?

You need to stop, sit back and think about the OP. Look at what was stated there..... many are complaining about racism on this site in Atlanta.

As for the bold.......... I don't like the deep southern culture and make it well known. Big deal? It's my opinion.

You have been well known to call everyone in the Northeast arrogant and rude in your post, but you can't take criticism your way.

Well not trying to stir the pot up,but many Northeasterners do have a snob or better than thou art attitude.I lived all over the U.S.I also lived in New Jersey.I can tell you that as a black man,I have NEVER been treated more suspiciously than I had when I live in Berlin/Cherry Hill NJ.It was mainly the "wow,you not slow"?,or how come you talk so proper being from the South?Not to mention how many times I got stopped in my car by police for no reason.

That is pretty strange that you would be called a "cracker" at Lenox Mall.That's like calling some white person calling someone a "N" at the West End Mall.It just doesn't make sense.Too many whites at Lenox and too many blacks at West End.

And you know this information...how? This thread was started in 2008. You have no idea why it was started, but it has nothing to do with Alabama...as you stated in your last post:

^ Because Atlanta needs to GROW UP, but it can't escape the Alabama culture.

I know the places that I have visited. Also, I know the places where I experiences racism. The most was in Atlanta.

Period. Believe it or not. Your choice.

In what way did you experience racism in Atlanta? Was it anything other than the incident at Lenox?
I'm just curious, I have lived in Atlanta and Gwinnett for several years, and I have never experienced racism.

Apparently some people aren't welcome in their hometown threads, so they lurk around and irritate people in other cities.
