Has Atlanta become mono-racial? Honest question based on observation.

There is no such thing as 'race', we are all one race. The racial divisions came about because of imperialism, and colonization. It was how they justified taking other peoples land.

We need to stop thinking racially. It only serves peoples delusions of grandeur.

Breaking news:

There's a lot of black people in Atlanta.

It's better to deny a basic physical trait of human beings? Denying race is denying something everyone can see and just recognized naturally. Even small children very clearly see it. They just haven't had an ignorant adult tell them they're supposed to hate because of it yet.

I'll never understand the mindset that follows declaring something doesn't exist, when it's plain as day and medical fact, to be a solution to anything.

Oh well... That's just me... I see race but unless it's part of negative feelings directed AT me ...I could care less either way, personally. Race never was a deciding factor of anything. It's the character and personality of the person that matters. (as I've mentioned elsewhere, this is coming from a White man, living in a 93% white area of America ...and seeing white issues as bad or worse than any news reported black ones...race isn't the factor, indeed)

I think you might consider where the Airport is located and the fact where the Asians in the community live...which might not be by the Airport and have higher paying jobs...
Or I know for a fact a good majority of the Mexicans are in Gainesville, GA which is the Poultry Capital of the World....at least that's what the water tower says and it was a Mexican who came here and bought a chicken factory...hence all the mexicans.

Its kinda funny how your posters are somewhat obsessed with suggesting you were scared at all black workers . This allows them from NOT addressing the actual suggestion of the post , which seems to be that Alt employs their black workers.
Do whites live there ?
At least the blacks get jobs there , so that has to be good . I think they deserve employment over the illegals , surely .
I would imagine that the massive illegal population that pours in from across the boarder , takes jobs away from the born and bred black merican class

Thanks for your comments.

I wasn't, as you said, scared at all. When one is bored silly, as in a long layover, the mind - at least mine tends to wander into unusual places. The observation came out of boredom and out of boredom I began to explore my observation which then turned into a hypothesis. It kept my mind and body occupied as I walked the terminal in my hours at the airport.

In testing my hypothesis, I found my observation was somewhat fairly accurate.

Here it is:

The Atlanta airport hires blacks the vast majority of the time (one poster called it the black mafia who does the hiring at the airport, and another poster who referred to the Mayor's pride at a lack of diversity (95% one race, even black, does not = diversity). According to the posters other racial groups do live in Atlanta, however, they are the minority and live in self imposed enclaves. According to the posters it is not "safe" for non-blacks to go into areas near the airport. (I wasn't scared of the people at the airport, that was a silly supposition. However, it seems that from the poster's responses, they are scared to to into the area surrounding the airport.) The lack of diversity in the airport is a result of the majority of the population being black, the mayor's push to hire blacks at the airport, resulting in a lack of willingness to hire people of other races. In the end, the airport staff does represent the majority of the Atlanta residents, according to the posters. Therefore, the racial makeup of the staff at the airport does reflect the general attitude of Atlanta toward non-blacks.

That is a lot of tap dancing to get around the words Black and White.
If you're population is largely Black, you're going to have many Black employees. Sorry, melanin rich.

Maybe, but if an airport only hired melanin challenged people and only 1% melanin rich people, their would be an outcry that would start a riot.

What I am saying is the image that the city is projecting is one of mono-racial racism, and of being hostile to people who are not melanin rich.

why do you keep referring to white people as "melanin challenged"

I know the basics about moles etc, and skin difference, but this seems to be for some sort of effect

Please read my earlier post that answers your question regarding melanin and the origins of what we refer to as race.

I personally find the terms black and white to be nondescriptive. Blacks are not black in color as witnessed by Obama. Whites are not the color white at all. The only accurate description is by percentage of melanin in the skin because on a genetic level we are all the same.

Yes, as one poster pointed out you can determine one's "race" with simply bones. That is because the isolated social group with interbreed causing a particular level of melanin share common DNA sequencing through interbreeding. Like dog breeds.

Unfortunately in today's pc environment, one has to use such terms or the pc police will come after her. Race warfare has been accelerated since 08 because that's what cultural Marxists do, though they play a good game and do it under the guise of equality. Under this cultural Marxism program, melanin-challenged people are encouraged to wear white bracelets to admit to their melanin-challenged privelege.

What the hell is a 'cultural Marxist' lol?

Edit; Hmmm just did a quick search, sounds more like a bunch of liberals to me. Marxism was about worker ownership, not culture.

Unfortunate that they chose that term because it has nothing to do with Marxism.

There is a long history of liberals appropriating left-wing terms. It's the reason Marx used the term communism instead of socialism.

Marx and Engels used the terms Communism and Socialism to mean precisely the same thing. They used “Communism” in the early years up to about 1875, and after that date mainly used the term “Socialism.” There was a reason for this. In the early days, about 1847-1850, Marx and Engels chose the name “Communism” in order to distinguish their ideas from Utopian, reactionary or disreputable movements then in existence [liberals], which called themselves “Socialist.” Later on, when these movements disappeared or went into obscurity, and when, from 1870 onwards, parties were being formed in many countries under the name Social-Democratic Party or Socialist Party, Marx and Engels reverted to the words Socialist and Socialism. Thus when Marx in 1875 (as mentioned by Lenin) wanted to make the distinction referred to by the Daily Worker, he spoke of the “first phase of Communist society” and “a higher phase of Communist society.” Engels, writing in the same year, used the term Socialism, not Communism, and habitually did so afterwards. Marx also fell, more or less closely, into line with this change of names and terms, using sometimes the one, sometimes the other, without any distinction of meaning.

The Terms “Socialism” and “Communism”

Please don't stray so far off topic. Unless you are trying to make the point that the hiring practices are because of a socialist etc. bent by the Atlanta intelligentsia.

I always get mad when I'm in Japan and everyone who works there are asian. They're racists!
I also noticed that when I was in Cleveland that most places only had black employees. They're racists!
You won't believe this, but I ate at a mexican restaurant and there were only mexicans who worked there! I'm gonna apply for a job and when I don't get it, I'm getting me a good ol' lawyer and sueing them for discrimination! Same with chinese restaurant!

So the answer is, Atlanta is a predominately black city. Being the oppressed "minority" they don't need to think about diversity. Only people of no color need to think about diversity. Is that what you are saying?

Nope, that's against the law in America. If you have over 10 employees, or some crap, then your payroll needs to accurately represent the percentages of each race that lives in this country. So whether you like it or not, you need to FIND an Asian, Hispanic, Caucasian, etc that happens to be good at that job. Well, they dont have to be good, you just have to keep them employed, or be shut down by the feds.

Precisely Apparently, since I'm white, I need to pay for all the success white people had in this country in the past that I never saw any of!

I swear the government just wants to start helter skelter... Or at least keep us divided

Awesome, right?

OP, how can you find being referred to as white as offensive? I know black people prefer being called 'black' rather than 'coloured' or 'melanin rich'! PC language just makes us look even more ignorant and does nothing more than highlight superficial differences.

Aside from that, it's a sad state of affairs and says something about your own confused opinions when you actively go looking around an airport and surveying the 'melanin challenged' to 'melanin rich' ratio. Get a grip and stop skirting around your own fears. White is white and black is black but at the end of the day, they are both shades of the same colour.

Yes, the level of melanin in ones skin is superficial. Please read some of my previous posts.

I was, as I have said many times in this thread, bored and since "white" people like me are trained by society through our school system to notice color as much as possible,
ie wear white bracelets to make us think about it,
I just did what our government has trained me to do. Look for diversity, and I found none.

If you find it offensive that I would do what black intellectuals want me to do, be aware of skin color,
then I can't be blamed for what I find if it offends the black intellectuals.
or can I
Hmmmmm
of course being white is to be inherently offensive isn't it, isn't that what the government tells me

catch 22
if I don't notice I am chastised,
if I do notice and the intelligentsia doesn't like what I find then I am chastised


now do you understand why the term white is so offensive,
because it means we are inherently offensive, insensitive and
we should be punished for being born as much as is societally possible.
