Within the city limits. But this is supposed to be a comparison between New York and the entire Atlanta Metro. Atlanta's Metro is 35% black.

But notice how every thread with NYC turns into petty arguing after a while. Everyone is guilty in some way for even entertaining it though.

One thing I find funny about C-D is how some of the most intolerant, ignorant, and pompous posters come from cities and regions that are suppose to be so diverse and worldly.

Oh and posting youtube videos or articles are not FACT. They are just material that support your argument. Everything you post is not Factual. Just as you could find material to support your argument, you could also find material to discount or disregard your argument.

We're not denying any such thing, we're simply disputing your inaccurate assertions about the Atlanta metro's racial makeup.

You where in the wrong part of the "nightlife and streets".

People toss the term "Black city," at Atlanta, usually with negative connotation and seemingly use it in an attempt to belittle it. In reality, Atlanta is a thriving one, regardless of race.
Intersting racial makeups from the 2000 Census. A lot of cities makeups are far more dense apparently. Don't know if another has been done:

Seattle, Denver, Pittsburgh, Boston and too many other major American cities for me to list are over 50% white but nobody's saying they aren't diverse because of this.

So why can't Atlanta be over 50% Black and still considered diverse?
