Plus, I get sick of people parroting all of this talk about "diversity" as if it's so ideal in and of itself, and this is coming from a Black man who sometimes benefits from so-called diversity initiatives. There's not much diversity in China to speak of, yet they are whooping our asses here in the US in so many areas until it's not funny.
China really has one race for real. Like Nigeria, it is mainly Black Africans. America is different because it is a melting pot of different cultures. Atlanta is still black and white, although when I went to Annistown Elementary School, there were several Hispanics.

Not for real, because outside of Atlanta, Georgia is on the same level as the other states you've listed.

Several Hispanics and Asians call the Atlanta area home. Just because Atlanta doesn't have diversity like some other cities doesn't mean it doesn't have any at all and it's silly to think otherwise.

Well, you know that I know that Atlanta has other races as well, but it's still BLACK and White for the most part.

Hell, you can say that for several other cities "for the most part." Atlanta does pretty well for itself considering the fact that it's not in a state that borders another country.

NOTE

The above is not an endorsement of the belief that there is no such thing as a black mecca, because there is and there are several....just one above all the rest

Ain't nobody run me out! You guys are crazy! The Houston people are way more friendly and are NOT sensitive. Also, they don't throw their greatness in your face and they don't bash other cities or try to be something they are not. They're not pretentious. They are real. So, FALL BACK.
