I don't know how to stress this enough....
Atlanta is one of the few cities with a thriving black middle class. Killer Mike was right when he said it was the real Wakanda.
As the world saw with the recent Govenor's election though, we tried and came close to a black governor, thiugh we had a cheater in the election. Though no one is fighting to get Kemp out like Trump, mistake number one, this appears to be costly.
Kemp has did a slew of things all of which is a major attack on blacks, education, and ATL,...
A few years back, wealthy, white parts of the city started sueing to leave the poorer parts, leaving the city of ATL with lower paying tax base and a smaller city.
The nearly all white baseball team,the Braves, decided they wanted a new stadium at this time and ATL said no they could not pay for it. The Braves literally left ATL and went to the wealthiest suburb (Bush/GOP country). That was a costly mistake for Cobb county. Their books hasnt been balanced ever since.
The final straw to the wealth of ATL is its single most valuable asset, ATL Hartfield Jackson airport. Thirty to forty percent of Atlanta 's revenue comes from the airport. ATL has leveraged that active asset that is the world's largest airport to its advantage. They are creating the Aerotropolis that is a 5 year project to build up parts of ATL that has been long ignored, attracted the Porsche head quarters, and a couple of movie studios, and more businesses. Atlanta has been increasingly gaining more economic power despite the original sin of white flight that occured in the 70s with the election of the first black mayor, Maynard Jackson. The election of Maynard was such a shocker that there is best selling book on it called White flight on Amazon.
---> They left but forgot to grab the asset, the airport, and there has been lawsuits and fights ever since. Literally, this past election of the mayor was brutal. Whites, through gentrification, almost won back control. Literally everyday there are charges and allegations of corruption and mismanagement against past black administrations/mayors office. Every contract is questioned. You help a black business then reverse discrimination. It is crazy. No one dogs the governors office.
Now, Kemp! This corrupt man who has only been in office a day has the Senate to sign a bill just saying the airport and ATL are so corrupt that the state of GA will just take over the airport.
Just straight up theft...like the election. Accountability has meaning. People get bolder after each theft.
This is what happened in Michigan. The new governor just declared the blacks didn't know what they were doing and put emergency managers in charge and started selling off the assets.
This will economically destroy the black middle class and ATL.
The new mayor, Bottoms, is some low speaking, sweet girl, and not a street fighter like the past administrations.
Maynard, Reed, and even Shirley Franklin, who famously said y'all don't know me and took off her earrings, were street...in your face fighters whose mouths alone caused people to back the heck off...and they backed it up.......
Atlanta is in major trouble. If I was on black Twitter I would start a #Save ATL.
With this governor it is about to get Trump real, the dirty South way, in ATL.
He did some other things with school vouchers. I think this man is working with Trump and Trump may have given him ideas.
I have seen Nothern poverty and inequality. I was thankful there was a city where you could make a life for yourself even with a crappy job.
I see this as a racist economic attack on ATL.
I don't know why this is not major news.
