The mindset and the consciousness of African Americans must evolve. We’re consumers, but we don’t create anything! We don’t have life insurance, but we must drive a Lexus. We don’t own stocks, but we have every sneaker that comes out! We’re enslaved by “brands” not building a legacy that can be passed on to future generations.
Black people have complete control of all local government in atlanta (mayor, city council, and chief of police). What are they doing to help their own people?
If you ever visit check out South Fulton, Douglasville, Camp creek area. I promise you that we have thriving middle class cities ran by blacks. Atlanta's population is in the metropolitan areas which = suburbs. The news loves focusing on the gentrified city limits.
its actually hilarious. In a fantasy universe with magic and norse gods, there is an advanced country in Africa. I guess if you let your imagination run wild it may be possible lol
@@saintgeorgefloyd9488 If i'm not mistaken there have been several technologically adept civilisations in Africa during antiquity as well as during the medieval and early modern period. Wakanda is unrealistic in the sense that they were 1000's of years ahead of everyone else whilst being geographically, culturally and economically isolated, which doesn't make any sense since trade is the biggest conduit of technological and economic development/advancement.
Does that include both parents in the home when they talked about the average income? Black families, it usually, but not always, are mom and kids. Whereas, white families are mom, dad, and kids.
They always seem to leave that part out. You need to realize all these statistics they throw out are false if yoh just scratch the surface. Same with the gender pay gap.
Don't like your lot in life? Work harder. Stay in school and graduate. Get a job. Get a second job. Go to night school. Get your own student loan and pay it back yourself. Millions do.
That's like saying all the blacks in Atlanta are poor because they make up the largest ethnic group. Statistics did not reveal who's poor and who's rich.
@@darius318 Yeah more like opportunity for crime. Too often damned Louisianans, Chicagoans, and other foreigners flock to Atlanta start a life of crime. Why the hell is Buckhead the new bankhead. Exactly that reason and the damned police and DA do nothing about it.
This!! This!! I hate Atlanta! It’s not fun or safe! All of these thugs are coming in , mixing with the ones that are already here and causing so much help for regular people!
The problem is cultural. Other groups focus on building families, education, home ownership, and creating businesses. Too many of us are "get money hustlers", are unmarried, promiscuous, have illegitimate children, are lightly educated, own no property, have low morals, and have no viable plan. This is the cause of these terrible outcomes
Geat comments again! Not going to believe this, in 1939 THE NEGR0 PROJECT was founded to lower the Black population in America. It worked! 38% of Black pregnancies are terminated, over 50% in NYC! About 80% of Black women are overweight, least likely to marry, most in debt and 78% of their children have no Dad. 1854 founded to STOP SLAVERY? Republican Party 1860 founded to KEEP SLAVERY? Democrat Party Republicans literally beat the Democrats in the Civil War in 1865. THE NEGR0 PROJECT is now called Planned Parenthood. Check this information, it's true.
No one mentioned the wealthy suburbs!?!?! That’s where many of the affluent blacks went after “white” flight over 40 years ago, commonly known as “black flight”. And to add, there isn’t a sense of “community” that gives back there. There’s a strange exclusive, snobby, and fearful entitlement if you asked me. Atlanta by size isn’t very big at all-However, the Atlanta Metro suburban landmass is HUGE, it alone is the size of the average American metro. This video ONLY focuses on the dense, urban areas. They totally forgot about the bulk of the population housing trends.
Exactly no one ever talks about Camp Creek, Douglasville, and the best yet South Fulton. South Fulton is basically and all black upper middle class area ran by wise Blacks.
Don't forget the eastside. South Dekalb has the second largest black middle class in the U.S. right behind PGC Maryland. South Fulton is third. This was ten years ago.
No one said Atlanta is where all black people doing well and are perfect. It's a place where blacks as a collective are doing better economically, educationally, socially, culturally, spiritually, emotionally, politically than in any other place! Everything aint about money
@@judahlion3330 it still is 45 percent black in the city (more than Atlanta city proper as far as numbers)and that along with Maryland and northern Virginia (dmv) ranks number 4 as as far as black population in the USA (metro)……Prince George county is the highest earning predominately black county in the USA …it’s not even close plus beside that the people in dc on average make more money than the average Atlien…..many blacks in the dmv have federal job etc so it’s more realistic that the average black(not all) makes a lot of money….Atlanta is music,entertainment etc but that’s a select few the average Atlanta Nigga is not a rapper or actor etc…
All those high paying tech jobs ain't going towards blk tech workers. I know too many blk people with tech degrees and certs that cannot land a job and forced to drive Uber.
@@designhub360customapparel I think I remember you. You're that blk woman that takes up for white people on these channels. I think you took up for Sam Dickson pushing blk people out of Atlanta.
I have met a lot wealthy through out my life...they all work non stop non stop non stop...you want to make money you must do the same... Even wonderful queen b started working hard since young and eventually got to the great place where she is.....wealth requires hardwork, delay gratification and smart money management....asian, latinos, etc. do this and succeed.
No lie i work at an all black. Employé work place. On my first day i started to get shit because i worked too hard and to fast that i was doing too much and i needed slow down we dont get paid that much now is what they would say and i swear that i wasnt even trying i have a bad back so i try to take it easy all of them worked like that .10 min breaks after every activity . i see exactly what u are saying
What a dumb comment you made. Do Asians, Latino\Latina, etc. still have systematic LAWS against them??? Are Asians, Latino\Latina given longer incarceration sentences for committing drug charges\uses? NO, and data which is available for public domain can show receipts to prove dummies like you wrong. I also don't see race riots that not only killed those in their communities, but destroyed the community itself which was thriving. Oh, did I fail to include the govt aided those killers? We had Black oil companies, Black transit systems in some cities, Black families that owned Beaches in Cali. But it was all destroyed by envious White people, or low down govt orders( local and federal). So you STFU, and succeed in kissing our @sses.
@@Geekmasterproduction well not really black just occupying previous white spaces again, it's like a cycle, but it'll be interesting the next twenty years for ATL when u factor Immigrants
I truly believe that if your grandparents created a way in the 60s and 70s in this city. The generations were better off. My grandfather was a brick mason. And he had handshake deals with a lot of city developers. And build many of manholes and other brick structures all around the city. Raised all his children in the city. And to still stays in Capital View community. So I believe it starts with the generations before us. If they didn’t pave a way for us. Then those in the city who you see in poverty and blight weren’t shown the way. I grew up in Oakland City. My sister still stays in Venetian Hills. It’s about ownership like Tyler Perry said. If the citizens of Atlanta don’t own the houses that they stay in. Their going to feel lefted out. Financial Literacy is the key. People have got to stop following the cheese. Families have got to together and create something for themselves. And then go from there. If no one has vision around you. That’s how far your going. But if you have vision on where your going. Then you can encourage someone else in your family
@@laryanryan9170 I agree they should raise their children, diligently pay child support, encourage them to complete High School, go to college or trade school, learn a vocation, and not have any children until you have a decent career.
@@stevenmcgillivray9283 "...and not have any children until you have a decent career." Black men are not biologically capable of having children. And black men don't have access to over 20 forms of birth control.
The main problem is not taking accountability for your own actions. There are choices in life some people make the wrong choice continuously generation after generation
Yeah it was their actions that built the highways through their neighborhoods after all. If only they weren't so poor from generations of inequality they wouldn't have lived there in the first place!
They need to do analysis of the whole metro area. The city of Atlanta is just a small part of the bigger picture. Some of the surrounding municipalities and counties are not so white and elitist.
Atlanta is not Wakanda because Wakanda's not real. It's a fantasy so we have to focus on what we can do in real life. If we want to help ourselves and have our allies help us too then we need quality economic development. We need well diversified, legal opportunities to make livable wages and generate wealth, for all black people regardless of socioeconomic status. This can help us own property, buy appreciating assets, save money for ourselves and for our descendants. Learning from Jewish people can be a really great start because they have a similar history of being persecuted for generations yet they still thrive as a collective.
I’ve been living in Atlanta all my life, and traveled many places. There is no other place like it for Black people! You can fool yourself all you want, but black folk are winning down here. Tell them how Black people in Atlanta occupy most of the suburban neighborhoods surrounding Atl..
..."winning" in what sense? Overall? Individually? I don't think this piece negates any success had by any blacks in Atlanta but I get that OVERALL what they are trying to convey is for as much success there is an underlying theme of not everyone thriving like it is being portrayed. I would also love to know if the stats are "stacked" a bit seeing as the percent of black is much higher in Atlanta than whites. Still won't change the fact that I am sure we still do not come out on top.
Thank you !! I have lived here for 20 years and there is no other city that comes close to the diversity in Atlanta, especially for AA's. Cobb, Douglasville, and the best yet South Fulton are becoming middle to upper middle class black meccas. You can't have an accurate conversation about Atlanta without bringing up the metropolitan areas which are the suburbs.
@@A22DNAL Thats what were saying. Forget City of Atlanta, you have to look at the suburbs. If you ever come down here check out South Fulton, Union city, Douglasville area. These are suburbs that are majority black middle to upper middle class, with college educated families. I used to fall for the statistics but realized they were false since they excluded the metropolitan areas and only focused on the city. We do have our own "wakandas" that are ran by black mayors/city council, black police officers/firefighers, etc.
@@Geekmasterproduction You might be saying that but the fact still remains that there is a lot of work to be done in other areas. I’m just saying that the piece is accurate and for as much that is nice there is still some work to be done. SOME of us can’t be winning in the areas you mentioned but then areas in the news piece go unaccounted for. That’s why I’m asking…”overall” or “individually”…
@@A22DNAL Too add, in 10 years the city limits will be a majority white demographic due to gentrification. The days of a black mayor in Atlanta will come to an end. On the topic of "everyone" I personally believe that in our capitalistic society "everyone" cannot be on top. Our citizens which is America are driven by greed and thats regardless of demographic. You will always have an impoverished, middle, and upper class of every race. We are also a minority, there are more hispanics than blacks in the U.S. So I think focusing on being on top is a waste of time, since that is impossible. Imagine having 10 friends going against a group of 100 bullies. There will always be racism, we will keep complaining and "they" will deny it and there is nothing we can do about it. Best tactic is to focus on building on own communities, raising strong but most importantly EDUCATED children, and doing our own thing as a collective.
great piece highlighting the obvious....solution----*internal leadership*---money is present, plenty of m.d. & j.d. minds, political capital on high.....everybody get together and get a collective grip on *internal matters*.............
I moved to Atlanta thinking it was a place of black excellence and was highly mistaken. I quickly had to move out of that area it’s highly segregated in multiple facets explained in this video that I didn’t know still existed
Any black person who comes to Atlanta with an education or a good business plan can do very well. The poor blacks that live here or come here are uneducated and unskilled.
@@jack_the_kid6338 that person said black excellence. It’s like Hispanics moving to a Latino only neighborhood or whites only neighborhood. It’s purposely segregating your self
Read "The Color of Law". "Segregated by Design" is a video that summarizes the book as well. Essentially, housing segregation has been enforced, which has broadened the gap.
@Carolus Martellus always and forever.. I don't think i ever got weed from a white man my whole life. Wow I never thought or that. Working in Atlanta and Tampa.. I always got treated good.
I admit when i first moved to Atlanta working at the gyp cret . concrete company and i was the only white man. I thought i would get picked on. But they didn't care and was just getting the day. I busted bags for many days
It’s the lack of skills and mindset. There’s plenty of resources that’ll help you learn a new skill with higher pay. Strive Atlanta, Gener8tor, Google apprenticeships, and many more. There’s always room for improvement, and we’re already in the beginning stages of a recession. Stop waiting for the government to save you because it’s not going to happen anytime soon or ever. Y’all see the housing market, doing the bare minimum isn’t going to work anymore!
I'm practically poor but never been on welfare, subsidizing housing, food stamps, bad parenting, etc. I have two college degrees, prior military, my own house and car and still poor. It's how I manage my money. I'm very disciplined. Even the rich can become poor if they can't manage their income.
What a joke of a video 😂 If it’s that horrible for a certain race of people and the city is holding them down why would they continue to move here🤔. And majority black, black city council, black mayors my entire life, yet somehow the city and “American greed” are holding people down?!? What a joke
you wouldn’t understand until you’re living in it. It’s kind of like a pressure on “blacks” it’s very bearable but when it’s compounded with other day to day complexities it drives people to fear of death illness more poverty rejection injury robbery betrayal etc. so ppl are accountable for themselves but is HIGHLY complex to find a sign of serenity. It’s possible but still very very distracting
I don't think it is purely on the system. Many African Americans did not grow up with hard work ethic individuals around them. Work ethic is also learnt. Now I am pretty old, but I remember my first black friend in highschool. After becoming friends with me, he also hung out with a lot of Asians. He had no idea how to get into top colleges, and that top schools actually require more than SAT and high gpa (sat2 and ap exams). Every day we would urge him to study after school. We shared SAT books, went to cafe, and studied together. At first, he was not used to the environment, but he ended up getting extremely high score and went to great school. Now he is well off. When he was hanging out with us, many of his black friends could not understand why he was studying so hard and acting like a "nerd"

As a black man from the inner cities of Chicago what you stated is very true! Majority of The African American homes are broken and children are not growing up with good examples!
this life is temporary and the very beautiful news is that we have salvation believing in Jesuchrist read Romans 10: 9 and 10 believe by faith in your heart and call on his name only he save read st John 14 : 6 and st Jhon 3 : 15 to 18
This is very sad. I believe this is part of a generational curse and the division and income gaps are caused by control, theft, etc from others moving in and taking over an already established black community. It appears that the black community never really got a chance to recover or close those income gaps because of pure systematic inequality, nothing more, nothing less. However, this is a nationwide stuggle. Not just an Atlanta struggle.
what about the crime, drugs, and jobless folks who don't want to do better???? I understand segregation and redlining but to a certain point, these folks have to stop playing the victim. the yts are the enemy, but like the guy said, how come in these circumstances it's almost always 100% blacks?
The blacks could use a little help from themselves. If they would not litter their streets, if they would only mow their lawns, pick up their trash, do some maintenance in their houses, did less drugs and less crimes, change the mindset that always blames somebody else for their fate and always expect someone or government to help, their lives would improve a lot. Greetings from Brazil.
Blacks from Africa immigrate to the US are not poor. Blacks grew up in the USA are poor. Races cannot be a factor here. Education is a very big difference between the two side of blacks.
Education and family structure. .anu Africans have two parent households with a present and active father. Many black American households do not; that's the big difference. Single mothers have done a terrible job at raising this generation of black Americans.
Africans are usually coming from a sense of hope being as that USA has great global marketing! USA IS A BUSINESS. Africans usually come from money and this who DONT I watching themselves move to another country/dimension. In the USA these “blacks” have no heritage or understanding where they come from. It’s like they are starting from scratch. So they grow up watching GMa mama and every struggle so they are mentally fucked. It’s like a slave but Not knowing how to be free. Somewhat free. But it’s no excuse only the extra extra mile not to satisfy others but to build a more heavenly legacy of “blacks”
I love all the wealth comparison. With all the special treatment blacks get now with special hiring practices, scholarships, and endless programs that benefit people with black skin, why are they still failing? Is any of it their fault?
No people like you have it built into your subconscious that its peoples work ethic or attitude that keeps them from success so they don't get opportunities because of their appearance and upbringing. To think that a few social programs are going to reverse 300 years of racial inequality is going to magically pass generational wealth on to these people is baby brained. All they do is attempt to level the playing field but the reality is that the ground their field was built on has no foundation.
Which are, you guessed it, mostly black. If it were predominantly white there wouldn’t be anywhere near the amount of issues there are. I was born in Atlanta, lived in midtown most of my life and just now had to move to Vinnings because of the virus constantly plaguing the city. Even now I know buckhead is going to either become a new epicenter for the the blacks or continue to stay predominantly white but we must gentrify the areas like college park or Bankhead to prevent these “people” from ruining another city in America.
Funny how we determine our level of success as Define by our oppressors...who also Define what money is and the criteria by which we establish right and wrong... something about that just doesn't seem accurate🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️ but hey...I'm jus a small man...
She should have also divided the black rich and poor. That's where you'll get my answers. Why these blacks are doing good and these aren't? This was a lazy segment! The issue is the culture and the wealthy blacks are transplants so they aren't invested in the poor areas. The school system and the lack of bm talking accountability. Don't compare race in Atlanta compare the social economic backgrounds!
Call me biased but as an Atlanta native I will say that there are more opportunities in this city than many other cities in America, especially in the south and that is a fact. I'm not saying that this video is completely wrong, but Atlanta is one of many cities that struggle with wealth inequality and it has nothing to do with race or political affiliation. It is simply the greedy and selfish nature of American capitalism.
That's exactly right. And another thing that's not mentioned is us blacks who grow up in Atlanta move to the suburbs when we finish school. The uneducated ones end up with low paying jobs living in the hood.
When I lived in Atlanta I worked a d when i went to look for a apartment the places i went to they saw a black man who Carry himself professionally suite and tie went in to buckhead alpharetta they look at me shocked. One job they ask where did I grew up I said South Carolina in the hood they looked dumbfounded.
Well, Atlanta, Georgia is where most African Americans do well economically 🤷🏽♀️. Especially in southern states and cities with a high African American population.
It’s not black dominated despite it being a culture city as a people color we as blacks operate but don’t dominate So we don’t have too much power And I agree it was by design
It's not other races it's the Globalist elites that are opressing the whole earth, whether people know it or not. Who owns the banks, money, Fda, most farmland, etc. 2030 agenda is coming and no race will be spared.
the best way out of poverty is education. don't get pregnant at 17, graduate high school (at least), think outside of your little culture box. poverty is a family tradition. don't do what your mother and father did. this country is full of opportunity- not guarnatee's- but opportunity. it is what you make of it.
That's true but do you know how many people have degrees here with low paying jobs. Wages are extremely low here. I saw a job on indeed that required a bachelor's defree but only pays 15 dollars an hour. Jobs pay extremely low, thats why income inequality is so high here. Theres jobs here but the majority are low paying, the high paying jobs are hard to get even for people with degrees.
@@DJ-vj4vi 1st you gotta survive to the age of 18. I don’t make excuses but I UNDERSTAND but don’t AGREE with how WE move as a whole even though every man is his own
Really..yall did some swj stuff on the news using wakanda..Funny half of people that watched the movie..didn't know about black panther,read his comic or know that stuff is written by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby..🤣🤣🤣..but really black people should do research before running down to a popular place to live..Cause half the people coming down here to my city..End up very unhappy and disappointed...Honestly if Atlanta was a black mecca, outside the projects...it was in the 90s.YALL SHOWED UP 20 YEARS TOO LATE..
This is true. It was in the mid-to-late nineties that several people I know, both black and white, were traveling to Atlanta and Buckhead with optimism and they did find something nice at least for a few years.
Pointless video. You HAVE to include the metropolitan areas. South Fulton, Camp Creek, Union City, Douglasville, etc. are thriving black suburbs with middle class blacks ran by blacks with wisdom.
Lots of black people in those areas are struggling as well. Most of these people that you see driving these nice cars are broke, i have hade many experiences with people like that, they drive a nice Mercedes benze yet their homeless living out they car. Lots of people here with degrees and certifications that are still unemployed or getting low pay due to so many people applying to every job. Crime like robberies and carjackings are increasing. It ain't what its hyped up to be.
Ppl's nonsense keep them where they are. Ppl aren't trying to build a community, they're trying to take advantage of a community when available and that's why the disparity is how it is. (Like the BLM embezzlement of funds.) I've had a job since I was 14 and a full-time job since I was 16 while paying my way thru college. I've worked with many, many, dif types of ppl and I can honestly say that some ppl are where they are bc that's what they put into their life -low effort = low life. Just sayin, I was over here 10 yrs younger than some of these lazy coworker, back in the day, and encouraging them to go back to school but all they wanted to do was get high/party and call out of work while I was taking a 2-3 hr morning class, then straight to a 10hrs shift (bc I need that OT), and then went straight to writing research papers after getting home by 10pm. I grew up in the same elements and the dif between me and my peers was that I've always thought to myself that I need to git up outta here! This crime ridden place isn't for me where as my peers acted like that nonsense was normal so they never did anything to better their situations.
So Atlanta is not the promised land for black people that Moses tried hard to get us to. We have it good here in Dallas. WHY Dak Prescott got a $70 million dollar contract! Yep, it's grand here in Dallas. Come on down and get yours!
The "real" Atlanta is scary to me, because it's so depressed. Been here 25 yrs and only run into those areas by accident. They seem purposely cut off and left behind. It always takes a minute to shake off what I see as hopeless; true 3rd world conditions. I have a passport, have 30 yrs worth of stamps. I know 3rd world. Even South Central (L.A.) where I'm from doesn't compare. This should be discussed. There's ALOT of black wealth here, but those areas before the influx of transplants...dear Lord.

ya gotta stop comparing by skin color. wake up everyday and do the right thing. how about comparing those who went to school and those who dropped out. look up the literacy rate for atlanta city schools, you will be blown away. how about reviewing how rap culture has contributed to the down fall of these communities.

They won’t report that
That's like saying all the blacks in Atlanta are poor because they make up the largest ethnic group. Statistics did not reveal who's poor and who's rich.

I truly believe that if your grandparents created a way in the 60s and 70s in this city. The generations were better off. My grandfather was a brick mason. And he had handshake deals with a lot of city developers. And build many of manholes and other brick structures all around the city. Raised all his children in the city. And to still stays in Capital View community. So I believe it starts with the generations before us. If they didn’t pave a way for us. Then those in the city who you see in poverty and blight weren’t shown the way. I grew up in Oakland City. My sister still stays in Venetian Hills. It’s about ownership like Tyler Perry said. If the citizens of Atlanta don’t own the houses that they stay in. Their going to feel lefted out. Financial Literacy is the key. People have got to stop following the cheese. Families have got to together and create something for themselves. And then go from there. If no one has vision around you. That’s how far your going. But if you have vision on where your going. Then you can encourage someone else in your family
Wakandians had a vision, & that's why they had the best technology today.
A profound, and true statement. Thank you for sharing.
More Black fathers need to raise their children and encourage them to attend college. That's what has created the wealth gap.
@@laryanryan9170 I agree they should raise their children, diligently pay child support, encourage them to complete High School, go to college or trade school, learn a vocation, and not have any children until you have a decent career.
@@stevenmcgillivray9283 "...and not have any children until you have a decent career." Black men are not biologically capable of having children. And black men don't have access to over 20 forms of birth control.
The main problem is not taking accountability for your own actions. There are choices in life some people make the wrong choice continuously generation after generation

let's talk about them fine young citizens of Atlanta called the water Boys. lmfao 👹
They need to do analysis of the whole metro area. The city of Atlanta is just a small part of the bigger picture. Some of the surrounding municipalities and counties are not so white and elitist.
White and elitist.
You get enough money and you can be white and elitist as well.
Black and racist.
Atlanta is not Wakanda because Wakanda's not real. It's a fantasy so we have to focus on what we can do in real life. If we want to help ourselves and have our allies help us too then we need quality economic development. We need well diversified, legal opportunities to make livable wages and generate wealth, for all black people regardless of socioeconomic status. This can help us own property, buy appreciating assets, save money for ourselves and for our descendants. Learning from Jewish people can be a really great start because they have a similar history of being persecuted for generations yet they still thrive as a collective.

I’ve been living in Atlanta all my life, and traveled many places. There is no other place like it for Black people! You can fool yourself all you want, but black folk are winning down here. Tell them how Black people in Atlanta occupy most of the suburban neighborhoods surrounding Atl..
..."winning" in what sense? Overall? Individually? I don't think this piece negates any success had by any blacks in Atlanta but I get that OVERALL what they are trying to convey is for as much success there is an underlying theme of not everyone thriving like it is being portrayed. I would also love to know if the stats are "stacked" a bit seeing as the percent of black is much higher in Atlanta than whites. Still won't change the fact that I am sure we still do not come out on top.
Thank you !! I have lived here for 20 years and there is no other city that comes close to the diversity in Atlanta, especially for AA's. Cobb, Douglasville, and the best yet South Fulton are becoming middle to upper middle class black meccas. You can't have an accurate conversation about Atlanta without bringing up the metropolitan areas which are the suburbs.
@@A22DNAL Thats what were saying. Forget City of Atlanta, you have to look at the suburbs. If you ever come down here check out South Fulton, Union city, Douglasville area. These are suburbs that are majority black middle to upper middle class, with college educated families. I used to fall for the statistics but realized they were false since they excluded the metropolitan areas and only focused on the city. We do have our own "wakandas" that are ran by black mayors/city council, black police officers/firefighers, etc.
@@Geekmasterproduction You might be saying that but the fact still remains that there is a lot of work to be done in other areas. I’m just saying that the piece is accurate and for as much that is nice there is still some work to be done. SOME of us can’t be winning in the areas you mentioned but then areas in the news piece go unaccounted for. That’s why I’m asking…”overall” or “individually”…
@@A22DNAL Too add, in 10 years the city limits will be a majority white demographic due to gentrification. The days of a black mayor in Atlanta will come to an end. On the topic of "everyone" I personally believe that in our capitalistic society "everyone" cannot be on top. Our citizens which is America are driven by greed and thats regardless of demographic. You will always have an impoverished, middle, and upper class of every race. We are also a minority, there are more hispanics than blacks in the U.S. So I think focusing on being on top is a waste of time, since that is impossible. Imagine having 10 friends going against a group of 100 bullies. There will always be racism, we will keep complaining and "they" will deny it and there is nothing we can do about it. Best tactic is to focus on building on own communities, raising strong but most importantly EDUCATED children, and doing our own thing as a collective.
great piece highlighting the obvious....solution----*internal leadership*---money is present, plenty of m.d. & j.d. minds, political capital on high.....everybody get together and get a collective grip on *internal matters*.............
Does this wakanda have skyrocketing crime, etc., too?
No, they smoke vibranium, not crack...

Read "The Color of Law". "Segregated by Design" is a video that summarizes the book as well. Essentially, housing segregation has been enforced, which has broadened the gap.

The same reason millions of Central Americans are rushing to get into a systemically racist, white supremacist country like the USA.

It’s possible but still very very distracting
I don't think it is purely on the system. Many African Americans did not grow up with hard work ethic individuals around them. Work ethic is also learnt. Now I am pretty old, but I remember my first black friend in highschool. After becoming friends with me, he also hung out with a lot of Asians. He had no idea how to get into top colleges, and that top schools actually require more than SAT and high gpa (sat2 and ap exams). Every day we would urge him to study after school. We shared SAT books, went to cafe, and studied together. At first, he was not used to the environment, but he ended up getting extremely high score and went to great school. Now he is well off. When he was hanging out with us, many of his black friends could not understand why he was studying so hard and acting like a "nerd"

Thank God!!!! No one will love us more than Christ.
4% chance of breaking poverty in Atlanta? Bet I change that
This is very sad. I believe this is part of a generational curse and the division and income gaps are caused by control, theft, etc from others moving in and taking over an already established black community. It appears that the black community never really got a chance to recover or close those income gaps because of pure systematic inequality, nothing more, nothing less. However, this is a nationwide stuggle. Not just an Atlanta struggle.
Every major city in 🌇😢🏰🚢the world is like this and in America 🌠
Huh?
what about the crime, drugs, and jobless folks who don't want to do better???? I understand segregation and redlining but to a certain point, these folks have to stop playing the victim. the yts are the enemy, but like the guy said, how come in these circumstances it's almost always 100% blacks?
The blacks could use a little help from themselves. If they would not litter their streets, if they would only mow their lawns, pick up their trash, do some maintenance in their houses, did less drugs and less crimes, change the mindset that always blames somebody else for their fate and always expect someone or government to help, their lives would improve a lot. Greetings from Brazil.
Wakanda is far more civilized.
Blacks from Africa immigrate to the US are not poor. Blacks grew up in the USA are poor. Races cannot be a factor here. Education is a very big difference between the two side of blacks.
Education and family structure. .anu Africans have two parent households with a present and active father. Many black American households do not; that's the big difference. Single mothers have done a terrible job at raising this generation of black Americans.
Africans are usually coming from a sense of hope being as that USA has great global marketing! USA IS A BUSINESS.
Africans usually come from money and this who DONT I watching themselves move to another country/dimension.
In the USA these “blacks” have no heritage or understanding where they come from.
It’s like they are starting from scratch.
So they grow up watching GMa mama and every struggle so they are mentally fucked.

I love all the wealth comparison. With all the special treatment blacks get now with special hiring practices, scholarships, and endless programs that benefit people with black skin, why are they still failing? Is any of it their fault?
No. You need to blame Trump, white cops and Christopher Columbus.
No people like you have it built into your subconscious that its peoples work ethic or attitude that keeps them from success so they don't get opportunities because of their appearance and upbringing.
To think that a few social programs are going to reverse 300 years of racial inequality is going to magically pass generational wealth on to these people is baby brained. All they do is attempt to level the playing field but the reality is that the ground their field was built on has no foundation.

She should have also divided the black rich and poor. That's where you'll get my answers. Why these blacks are doing good and these aren't? This was a lazy segment! The issue is the culture and the wealthy blacks are transplants so they aren't invested in the poor areas. The school system and the lack of bm talking accountability. Don't compare race in Atlanta compare the social economic backgrounds!
Call me biased but as an Atlanta native I will say that there are more opportunities in this city than many other cities in America, especially in the south and that is a fact. I'm not saying that this video is completely wrong, but Atlanta is one of many cities that struggle with wealth inequality and it has nothing to do with race or political affiliation. It is simply the greedy and selfish nature of American capitalism.

That's true but do you know how many people have degrees here with low paying jobs. Wages are extremely low here. I saw a job on indeed that required a bachelor's defree but only pays 15 dollars an hour. Jobs pay extremely low, thats why income inequality is so high here.

I've worked with many, many, dif types of ppl and I can honestly say that some ppl are where they are bc that's what they put into their life -low effort = low life. Just sayin, I was over here 10 yrs younger than some of these lazy coworker, back in the day, and encouraging them to go back to school but all they wanted to do was get high/party and call out of work while I was taking a 2-3 hr morning class, then straight to a 10hrs shift (bc I need that OT), and then went straight to writing research papers after getting home by 10pm. I grew up in the same elements and the dif between me and my peers was that I've always thought to myself that I need to git up outta here! This crime ridden place isn't for me where as my peers acted like that nonsense was normal so they never did anything to better their situations.
