I can understand much of your veiw now. The Atlanta-metro area is truly amazing. It's what Chicago and Harlem was for Black people back in the 1920's, 30's, 40's, and 50's.

But in the midst of that Black prosperity, I've seen Black men in the downtown area, by the dozen who are homeless and beggin' for spare change.

Are you gonna tell them that things have gotten better for Black people? Before the Civil Rights movement, you did not see this level of homelessness and no-hope poverty.
