I dismissed the high salaries for blacks in DC because it isn't specific to blacks so much as it's due to the presence of the Federal Government. Basically everybody in the DC area is doing well.
Atlanta on the other hand, Atlanta has become the epicenter of black entrepreneurship, black hollywood, black music, black television, two of the top 5 HBCUs in the country (Spelman College being number 1),
Most people in general are workers.
You're being very dismissive of black people in your post, which is quite evident.
I think the obtuse one here is you since I made it clear that Atlanta is black cap for those black folks who want to engage in a black network, but as far as individual success goes I find it to be overrated.
So I sort of agree and disagree because some people on this post have quoted that Atlanta is the place to be if you want to be a successful black man and I strongly disagree.
But imma let you be because I’m noticing you’ve been debating people on this thread since 2012 but apparently those who disagree are obtuse hahah.
You don’t know anything about NYC lol. A good portion of Black people own homes all over Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. NYC has a big black middle class, mostly Caribbean blacks at that. To top that off those black people are sitting on real estate worth insane prices
But I’m not even taking your comment seriously lol.
P.S - NYC has the best Caribbean Black nightlife in the whole country and has plenty of black venues compared to DC/ATL And has more black venues than any place outside of DC/ATL lmao.
You probably never set foot in NYC in your life........FOH lmao
What about Boston? Strong Caribbean community but nightlife is known to be lacking in Boston in general.
Miami Caribbean community isn’t active in nightlife compared nyc except for the Haitians. Ironically a lot of the black folks who attend Miami carnival and play in mas come down from NYC.
NYC has the largest Black event in the nation the West Indian Day Parade which is attended by many African Americans also. Reggae/soca artist usually have their best venues in NYC.
Only city that NYC might lose to in Caribbean culture is Toronto but this thread is about America.
P.S - I’m not trying to make NYC the focus point of this thread.

I’m a young black man myself who currently does real estate in NYC so I have my own business. . But I see what Kodeblue is trying to do that’s why I’m not even going to further entertainment him. That’s typical in the black community if you do not agree that means you are talking down or being dismissive of black people lmao.
But my opinion stands. Mind you I’m in Atlanta all the time and I’m talking from experience. This dude kodeblue lives in Baltimore lol.

I get you man... I'm not Black but I'm very interested in why Black folks out of all racial groups have this need to stand separate from the rest... call me whatever you want but I don't understand why a city like SF or Seattle isn't also a Black mecca since all of my Black friends that live there are very successful and wealthy.
