Buckhead Village was the main reason Atlanta's nightlife was top 5 in the 90s and early 2000s. It was very much known as one of the party capitals of the country. Once that was gone, Atlanta's nightlife took a massive hit.
I'm speaking in terms of social advantages when it comes to race relations. Economic and educational status are not everything.
Poverty and a lack of education are still very real problems in Atlanta, just as they are anywhere else.
You mean like all of those Korean owned hot wing restaurants and Middle Eastern corner stores in every Black neighborhood in Atlanta?
You can continue to spin this all you'd like, but earlier you pointed out the "ridiculousness" of my statement as if you were able to disprove it, yet you still haven't done so. You can do that or you can move on, because I'm not interested in any more of your straw mans.
You still cannot justify your own ridiculous statement. What are the social advantages Black Houstonians have over Atlantans? Blacks in Atlanta earn higher wages, have higher educational attainment, lower poverty rates, more power in local and state governments, police force etc.. All this and they still live in a city with a growing and prospering presence of ethnic diversity.

"More cultural enrichment from other races and ethnicities". I'm sure that's what he's going to say..., but I'm sure 90% of Black Houstonians spend most of their social life with other blacks only like any other city, diverse or not.
Again, there's a reason Atlanta's metro area black population is growing nearly 2x as fast as Houston, even to this very day. Black people are largely beginning to realize living in diverse areas and neighborhoods has done nothing for them. In fact, it only gets other groups of people to hate them.
I'm all for cities and metros to become more diverse and for immigrants to enjoy what cities in America have to offer, but let's not act like diversity is helping black people in this country.

You said a word right here. Let's not even talk about how illegal immigration in particular isn't doing Black people, collectively, any favors.

False.
No, I'm not going to go search it for you. That information has been posted in here plenty of times.

And you would be incorrect.

Last time I checked, the main factor bringing Blacks to Atlanta is COL, and many of them came from communities that were just as if not more Black (Detroit, Philadelphia, etc.)

Well, I think the fact that the Georgia posters here only seem to be preoccupied with what's best for Black people alone, while I am an advocate of what's best for ALL people, might be an indicator that Texans truly are more racially tolerant.
