Beautiful Place, Terrible People

5/30/2012
I've lived in a few different places and I have to say that Atlanta, GA is by far the worst. The city itself is beautiful but most of the people here are either extremely racist or completely self-centered and rude. I transferred here for a job a couple of years back and came excited with an open mind. But I knew something was wrong when I attempted to say hi to a few people and, instead of acknowledging me, they quickly looked to the ground. It has been this way everyday since. Also, I have NEVER been a racist person and have had quite a few African American friends in my lifetime, but the way I've been treated here is appalling, hurtful and honestly surprising. Not EVERYONE is like this and I have met a handful of nice people, but not enough to stay. My guard has completely gone up since being in Atlanta and I look forward to moving next month before I turn into a misserable person.
