<quoted text>Atlantic Station is indeed an example with their requirements for "low income" housing to be mixed with the upscale units. You lie when you claim that Atlantic Station was formerly public housing. Atlantic Station was the industrial Atlantic Steel Mill that was a vacant eyesore for decades.
You don't answer my other statements because I'm right and you're wrong and you don't have any valid answers.

There you go again, misinterpreting! You really don't comprehend well, do you?

I NEVER said that Atlantic Station was previously public housing. If you consider the area that lies ADJACENT to Atlantic Station, you would realize that black and mixed neighborhoods worth $150-$200K (like the series that ran up and down Northside Drive) were all renovated, and luxury condos were built in its place. Not to metion the development of completely upscale restaurants and mini malls strips that forced the value of the surrpunding properties to go up, that the original inhabitants could no longer afford.
Since apparently, you are only familiar with the steel mills that became the atlantic station parking garages..LOL..I'll move to another area.

Let's consider just EAST of downtown - Hosea J Williams Ave, Moreland, etc. If you're brave enough, ride through the area. Then come back and tell us how a little shack, not bigger than a 1 bedroom apartment now sells for $250K -(oh and since you are a non-believer, there are signs advertising everywhere) and the official claim is that these grounds are being renovated at higher costs since they are on 'historical confederate ground'.
Trying to keep whites out? Ha! Even the whites who lived in little five points PROTESTED against the atlantic station development, because they were also now unable to keep up with the living expenses and were being pushed out farther into the suburbs. Even the white had been victims of gentrification in this area just a few years back when Virginia Highlands arose. DUH
As for you previous comments, you didn't have any questions to answer. You just made a bunch of incorrect statements that I didnt feel like rebutting. Sure in the 18th and 19th centuries, it was difficult for whites, as well as blacks to earn an education. I haven't argued that FACT. But the FACT is, there were dozens, hell tens of dozens of whites that were able to matriculate an education as compared to low numbers of blacks that still couldn't even read and write (due to no fault of their own).
Your account of Jim Crow Laws is VERY misleading.
-Firstly, Jim Crow laws mandated de jure segregation in all public facilities, with a supposedly "separate but equal" status for black Americans and members of other non-white racial groups. In reality, this led to treatment and accommodations that were usually inferior to those provided for white Americans, systematizing a number of economic, educational and social disadvantages.
Some examples of Jim Crow laws are the segregation of public schools, public places and public transportation, and the segregation of restrooms and restaurants for whites and blacks. These Jim Crow Laws were separate from the 1800-66 Black Codes, which had also restricted the civil rights and civil liberties of African Americans. State-sponsored school segregation was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States in 1954 in Brown v. Board of Education. Generally, the remaining Jim Crow laws were overruled by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

It never fails me that a racist's concept of fairness is always skewed in his favor.

@ Obama's misery - I'm finished with our little debate. You can't win an argument with a racist, a devil, or any extremist for that matter LOL.

I'd be here all day trying to prove to an aetheist that there is a God, or that the earth really IS round! LOL

What makes me a profound person is that, I can debate without relapsing into a fetal position (name calling while thumbsucking)

I have an education -(no need to rely on force fed biased statistics)

I am employed and very satisfied

I believe in humanity and balance. Not hate, regret, and resentment.

I live away from Cumming (and you had the nerve to say there is no racial tension there - of course not when the population is 97% white. LOL. That's like me saying I won a race but was the only runner..LOLOLOLOL)

<quoted text> With regards to your response to the "learned" gentleman, You Go Boy!!!! Shame, I've always wanted to visit Atlanta and Savannah Have family in Elberton, Ga and Harlysville SC. Most definitely will not visit Cummins with the nasty way they treated Oprah years ago and apparently still have issues based on some of these postings. I am sure it doesn't reflect the entire population...Shame though. You'd think they'd care what the rest of the world thought of them. Makes American's look like hypocrites when we're critcal of other countries behavior's towards their people and we have people behaving like this in our presidential race.

Well, there's nothing WRONG with Cumming, but it's not really all that great. There is a lot of untouched country, which overall makes the city less polluted, etc, and it isnt as heavily regulated. But in my situation, moving to Cumming would be a step backwards. You'd be surprised at the education level there --whew! right over your head dear..LOL. Nothing but a bunch of country bumpkins that just stare at you..LOL.

Plus Cumming is away from everydamnedthing! Not quite the place to 'visit'. Georgia 400 is the best thing Cumming has - to get you straight out and back to the city.

<quoted text>Cumming, Georgia is truly paradise on earth. The city and county are nearly crime free, have a wonderful community spirit, have very high educational levels, have no racial problems whatsoever, and have the nicest people you will find anywhere. Oprah's show misrepresented Cumming as only biased liberals can. Oprah flat out lied when she claimed that black people had been chased out of the county and their land stolen from them. She was referring to 75 years ago when a few black people sold their land and left the county on their own decision. She lied when she claimed that a black guy had been lynched there. There was a black criminal who was beated to death, not lynched, back in the 1920s. Oprah later admitted that the handful of rednecks she brought to the show weren't representative of the local population. There are no racial problems in Cumming.

You know I don't want to take sides; but it seems as if Porsche has won this debate between you and him. Maybe it's better to agree to disagree and leave it at that.

Thanks for all the information. You're extremely bright and it has been a pleasure posting you.

<quoted text> That would be wonderful, but I doubt it. But I am optimistic enough to have hope that american's will stop this stupid bickering on race. We have some very determined people, bent on destroying our country (terrorist) and they don't care what color we are, only the fact that we're americans. We really need to get our act together.

Yeah, back when I was growing up, we were all Americans regardless of race or ethnicity. There were no "African-Americans", "Asian-Americans", or "European-Americans" .

LOL! Oh the good ol' days, huh? All-American race riots in '65 and '67 and '68, etc. All Americans together, blasting and burning and looting away.

It's going to be hard kat, but look at you and me, started out being unkind to each other, yet we were able to stop bickering, so, there's hope for us yet...I am an enternal optimist, eventhough some of these threads made me lose it for a moment, and if I continue on them,(which I doubt), I'll probably lose it again. But you have a good day Kat, and thanks for the posting.

Harrison,

Kat was posting me based on a previous discussion we were having. Why stir up something and be mean....

Moron! You don't know what that posting was about! Mind your business!

Now Ashley! You and I both don't believe that!

You know Obama has a clear shot at winning this thing!

NEWS FLASH! We are ALL a little racist! Think of that next time you hear "Damn ____!" Fill in cracker, mic, dego, camel jockey, kraut, hooknose, frog, slant-eye or whoever else pisses you off. I do believe that most of this, however, is not meant to disparage an entire ethnicity, but to really piss off the asshole that has offended you. What kind of a Union do we hope to preserve with everyone trying to subdivide themselves into being "What-The-f'n-ever Americans"? Lets get painfully real - those Goddamn bastards who killed our brothers and sisters in '01 did not have a care about the color or religion or politics of their victims. They suffered and died because they were our fellow AMERICANS! So, long story short - quit yer bitchin' because there's a lot more important stuff to worry about right now.

IRISH for McCAIN!

Good day to you too, brother! If I came across like I just don't like Black people or something, that's definately not the case. Like I've told people before....I'm not prejudice, ALL humans piss me off. ;)
