What are these life-changing experiences that Black people as a whole are missing out on in Nashville? If you love Nashville, fine, but miss me with the condescending lecture about what "our problem" is and what's "hindering us" and how we're so "close-minded." Like wtf????? This is nothing more than internalized racism on display that COMPLETELY ignores our particular history in this country. Have ALL the seats in Mercedes-Benz Stadium dude.
Oh no, I understood your point completely and it's terribly inaccurate. Over the past decade or two, Black people have been increasingly moving to metros like Charlotte, Raleigh/Durham, DFW, Houston, etc--metros other than Atlanta without nearly as much "hype" that aren't as Black. You're just upset that your pet city isn't on that list and now you call yourself lecturing Black people and telling us what's "wrong" with us. If you're the type of Black person Nashville attracts, no wonder it's not a popular relocation destination among the Black masses. And a lot of us aren't clamoring for acceptance by the 'mainstream' population (e.g., integration). Just go ahead and move to Nashville already if White validation is that important to you but save the condescending diatribes. Out here sounding like Kanye West...foh.
OMG ,You went in.HARD lol But you are so right.One hundred percent.I have been round and round with him about this,He never misses a point to uplift Nashville and tear down Atlanta.Its the oddest thing,
He insist that Nashville is least racist and more diverse than Atlanta.
No one ever said Nashville was racist or not somewhat diverse but he makes it seem as Atlanta is worse which is so ridiculous.
More ike Uncle Rukus.
Ur still throwing personal shade..I'm a black Republican now and now I'm bashing my black people,,, wow.. I still respect u my brother regardless of how u may feel about my opinion.. as some have said it shouldnt have turned this direction.. I'm not going to go back and forth with trying to translate what I said or re explain anything because I encourage my black sister's and brothers to explore all possibilities for us even if its Atlanta, it doesn't have to be just Atlanta when we think of blackness because we are every where.. I come In peace my brother and if that's how u feel i respect that too.. I will be the better person; take care my man
Dont play the vivtim.I aint buying it.How many times prior to this thread have you told me to get off the plantation mentality just because I prefer Atlanta and said it had more to offer for African Americans even though I never said Nashville did not?
Nashville isint even half the size of Atlanta so why would it offer more for ANY group?It not even in the top 25 most diverse major cities yet you tried to make it out like it was more than Atlanta.You argued with me up and down saying Atlanta no different races hung out together yet in Nashville is all kum-by-yah.
You just over the board and you have been totally condecending everytime towards black people like me who prefer Atlanta.
Its NOT just Atlanta but Atlnat has more of whta blacks are attracyed to but you wish to ignore that.
Where else in America do you have as many concentration of higher education?Or black businesses per capita
