How did "Black" Atlanta surpass "Black" Baltimore in economic development??

[RulerRa7]

I go to Fell's Point, looking at all this fun white folks (and confused negroes) having, laughing, shopping, eating and etc.. It's heart-breaking because we don't have those venues where you don't see "civilized" Black folks enjoying themselves if it's not a "bullroast" or some "crab feast." Smh..

Ken,

Regardless, there are plenty of black professionals still here which is why I posted the site

Man...nevermind!!

You know one thing I just thought of is that Atlanta is a major regional center/city and Baltimore isn't. Being between Philadelphia and DC and being so close with integrated and affluent suburbs doesn't help. Even PG with its issues is a brain/wealth drain on Baltimore.

Why don't you?

"...African Americans that were successful at controlling their own labor and generating wealth for themselves were attacked either outright by White mobs - including the KKK and Police – or strategically by coalitions between White government (IRS), Businesses (including banks), and organized crime gangs from various White ethnic groups (Italians, Jews, English, etc). For example, during the 1920’s numerous Black towns and businesses across this nation were destroyed by White force and connivance. In most instances African Americans were not able to recover.."

Interesting.... White folks "still" seem to be a problem.

Blacks folks in PG County is another story all unto itself, but you're correct in your analysis. Thanks!!

Every now and then, he always talking about economic empowerment and things, then he wants people to buy his coffee and bankruptcy programs. Lmao..

I enjoy Myrtle Beach!!! But, it's still the deepsouth, and most people still are holding on to very archaic ways of thinking and behavior, Black folks included.

I honestly don't see treating others politely as archaic. Tons of the big SUVs in the parking lots full of black families had Georgia license plates.

So very true and the most defining color was green.

I have no problem with that.
