I'm well aware that Excision is a traveling show. I was just giving an example. Don't get too excited there.

Yuck. Give me Dallas.
I would be bored in an environment that caters to one culture. I like the diversity in Dallas.
It just seems so limited to me to be surrounded by the same types of people.

It is inconceivable that the 10th largest city in America caters to one race more than any other.That extends to sexual idenity also.

There are cities where the infrastructure of some groups because of longer historical ties and geography allow for a more thriving populace but this notion that another group suffers because of it is nonesense that is not logical or factual.

You have made several statements in this regard that have been facticious and just plain deliberately decietful.

YOU said before that only African Americans do well in Atlanta,but when i presented evidence and facts showing things like poverty rates among minority groups in different cities was higher in many cities besides Atlanta,you had nothing to say.

Im not sure what your problem is with this insane hate for anything Southern but at least you could be is honest.
Atlanta is far from Oreo.
I have tenants from Turkey,Germany,Ghana and have had tenants from Korea,France,Spain,China etc.

In Atlanta I recently went to a Diwali Festival at the larest BAPS temple outside of India with my closest friends who are Indian,Polish,Bangledeshi and German.

Every other weekend we hang out at a bar called Church where you see people of every race hanging out.

I lived in Witchita Falls and woud go to Dallas every weekend and it feels more segregated.The clubs,bars,resturants everything.
There are so many areas in Dallas that you won't see a black person.In fact its pure white in many places that are wealthy in Dallas.

In Atlanta you see blacks,Asians and other groups EVERYWHERE until you get 35 miles north of the city then its fairly white.

You had me until the last paragraphs.

I agree that Atlanta is not an Oreo area nor does Atlanta cater solely to blacks. It is too diverse for that.

However, Dallas is more diverse and integrated than Atlanta is. Thats not just based on my experiences, but based on statistical data as well.

In both cities you will find clubs and bars that feature just one race and you will find those that are mixed. The clubs in question that we were talking about were gay clubs. Those are more diverse in Dallas in my experience. Atlanta does cater to gay blacks better than any other city in the US in my opinion.

Dallas is more diverse but as a black male Dallas for me was not the most comfortable city.Not bad or anything but the feeking was just not like many other places I have been.
Preston Hollow,Park Cities,University and Highland Park are more segrgated than any place I have been in Atlanta

And there is evidence that supports that my feeling has merit.Recently Dallas was singled out by the federal government as having city leaders promoting racial segrgation in some areas.
The Feds Say Dallas City Hall Has Promoted Racial Segregation in Housing Projects for Years

Dallas is a lot more economically segregated as well.

I am not saying Dallas is bad for blacks or anything like that but just because its mnore diverse mean its more comfortable for certain groups either.
