re: ATLANTA:THE MOST RACIST CITY IN THE UNITED STA -
3/3/2012Okay, I must chime in here. For one, I have lived in Atlanta for approx. 7 years. I have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. For the most part, Atlanta is a party city similar to New York, but with far less jobs available for minorities. This poses a serious problem for a city with nearly 5 million people (or so I heard)? Now factor in the ratio of whites to black and there you have it. Especially since Atlanta has seen a huge increase of the Hispanic and black population originating from low income cities/areas throughout the United States; New York, Louisiana, Florida, Chicago, and California in particular. There are many others, but I have lived there long enough to speak to a good majority of people from other states, and all of their reasons for coming to Atlanta were the same: "no jobs", "lower cost of living", "better opportunities for minorities", and we found all of that to be untrue because the cost of living has indeed increased, and the job market is very competitive out there due to a large amount of people seeking higher education. So to be honest, Atlanta is best for partying and touring, do not live there unless you absolutely have no choice. If you have a good job, money, and a family, I would choose Fairburn, Loganville, Lilburn, or personally some place FAR away from Atlanta.

Do not move to Long Island, NY unless you are whit -
3/2/2012If you happen to be Black, Asian, or Arabic origin, you will constantly be looked down upon and treated as less than human to your "white counterparts"... The racism here is preposterous; embarrassing nonetheless. Not to mention how the authorities view you, especially if you're Arabic or Black. You’ll be lucky not to be arrested for jaywalking, or running a stop sign. I cringe every time I see a police officer, just hoping I do not have a broken taillight or else I may be arrested for reckless driving… haha! Moving on; the best communities with the best schools, beautiful scenery, and low criminal activity (excluding sexual predators since they are a low priority) are 100% white, and that this how they like it. Diversifying a neighborhood is like committing an original sin?
The black neighborhoods tend to be louder, less safe (depending where you are) but the biggest issue is the schools if you have children. Housing is really expensive (go figure), and the majority of your neighbors are Hispanic. Notice they live in the black neighborhoods, not white. They are not allowed there. If you decide to move there anyway, your neighbors will make you feel so uncomfortable, that you would be willing to leave your home without even selling it. It’s truly sad that people are so rotten on the inside, and cannot be mature enough to understand that we all have to respect each other’s' differences.
My apologies, I'm getting off topic. Basically, where I'm going with this is, Long Island is very segregated and hateful (as NY already is to begin with). So unless you are Hispanic or white, you are better off living in NYC or Connecticut maybe. As the opportunities for employment, cater greatly to those of white and Hispanic origin here. Reason being, the jobs are extremely scarce, everyone takes care of their own; so if you are not super cool with someone in a very good position, you can forget about it. You can be an MBA graduate with a ton of experience; if they don’t “like you”, forget it. That is why most non-whites in NY are either self-employed or seeking a way out of here.
