You major in strawmen buddy. Maybe you should just move along.
Where did I define success? Quote it or didn’t happen.

Secondly, many people in this 100 page thread did in fact make claims that Atlanta was where a black person goes to be successful.

And your strawman comment is just words at this point lol. Having the disability to comprehend basic English is soemething you should work on fixing lol.

I live in NYC the competition here is more fierce than any competition in Atlanta lmao. Get real people move down to Atlanta to be comfortable.

I’ve never lived in Atlanta btw. NYC provides me with more opportunities. I just have family in the A.

Did you explicitly define success? No but you clearly tied it to how much money you make and nothing else.

No one said Atlanta is the ONLY place a Black person goes to be successful. Quote me at least one person who did if you're claiming otherwise.

Not to mention Atlanta has a crime rate that’s not low and one of the leading cities for HIV rates. Lol people it make it seem that your problems are cured as a black man once you go down there while it would be toxic to be black anywhere else.

Agreed, almost like a modern day, reverse migration, Hyped up S_a_e Camp right back in the Heart of Dixie, good ol Georgia, and most blacks can't seem to get it or even realize it. See the Politics man, see the politics

So basically you have no quote of me defining success.

Secondly I made my point clear a few post ago. There should be no reason why I’m repeating myself about community vs individual success lol.

Just stop commenting and move along. You understand clearly what I’m saying but just want to comment for the sake of it lmao.

The implication you made concerning success is pretty clear and I have no clue why you're trying to evade the issue.

And thanks for essentially admitting that no one in this thread has stated that Atlanta is the only place a Black person can be successful. That's the biggest strawman ever and you can't quote anyone saying as much because no one did.

Thanks for adding zero to the discussion. Seems like you should be out and about enjoying the greatest place in the universe instead of engaging with us peons, since you're highly successful and all.

I’m not interested in continuing to debate with you so I’m going ti leave this here. You just want to TALK, TALK and TALK!

Atlanta is the Black capitol as far as community goes, but as far as individual black success, Atlanta doesn’t offer a black man the opportunity to max out on his/her success hence the reason why black individuals from the south still make the choice to go up north or out west.

^^not even the first sentence agreeing with you can stop you from talking.

P.S - and yes a poster a few pages back did in fact say he and the people around him were taught that ATL was the place to go be a successful black man.

Now go away!

And btw I’m going to keep copying and pasting my point each time Kode and mutiny want to deflect my point and use their own agendas. That’s pretty much how you get rid of pest in debates.
