Again, I was responding to KodeBlue. Y’all chose what y’all wanna read.
We read that you and/or your family couldn't hack it in Atlanta and you're still bitter about it for some reason. You think Houston is great for you, so good for you. Others prefer Atlanta, others prefer DC, to each their own. Stop being so childish and immature. You're well past the age to write the types of posts that you do on here.

I mean, no one in here (including me, a former Atlanta resident of a decade) claimed that ATL was the only city where a black person could be successful. But it's very telling how much it bothers so many C-D posters that ATL is a city that is seen as attractive to Black Americans. Look how long this thread is. I've known plenty of Blacks who moved from Atlanta to Houston, Dallas, Charlotte, Nashville, DC, NYC, etc. and even legacy meccas such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, and NYC and seemed to survive just fine. Hell, I'm considering a move to either DFW or Houston in the future to get away from this cold weather and these high-ass housing prices
Y'all have been reported. It's always the same two.
Really? Because we point out how you have a bias against Atlanta and Dallas at every turn. If several people can see that, what does it say. Reasons have been given for Houston not being up to par with Atlanta and DC and there is no shame in that. It doesn’t mean Houston is any lesser of a city for Black Americans.

To be honest, I don't think less racism is offered to a black man In the work place being here in Georgia, I see it every day working here and being black. That is so not true.. White's still own most and run Georgia...This is Dixie buddy. Blacks may own some business and have some government positions, very few though but that only certain districts, out side of that,,, hummm
Very good point! I wonder if Kode knows about your experiences.
Blacks move to Atlanta for the same reasons they move anywhere else. For employment and a chance for personal and family growth opportunities. The fact the city has a very large black community may be icing on the cake for some but most move here for economic reasons. Who cares or who's business is it if some prefer Atlanta due to cultural preferences.
Man, I tell you.. Some people come across so irritated and bitter by blacks attraction to Atlanta. I mean, no one talks about whites moving to predominantly white cities like Seattle or Portland because of cultural preferences or because they "want to succeed in those things in the white community".
Bitter? No you’re just talking nonsense. Like I said previously Atlanta does not have many sectors. A black man will still make the most money in tech in Silicone Valley and will still make the most money in finance in NYC/Chicago and the same goes for Federal Government jobs and DC.
You fail to realize many blacks from the south move up to these cities just to max out their success.
