    I'm a native Atlantean, and I'm so proud that we're the city too busy to hate.

    In 1990, the four adjacent northern Metro Atlanta counties of Cherokee, Dawson, Forsyth, and Pickens, were together, inhabited by 154,00 total white residents and only 1,900 total black residents. The fact those four counties were together, so lily-white at that point, despite being located just north of Atlanta, one of the few large American cities that has always had a significant percentage of black residents, and nobody noticed the math that what they very likely together represented, was the only " Sundown Region " within the South....is very odd.

      Those 4 counties are NOT part of Metro Atlanta.Atlanta is a very progressive city. Outside Atlanta, not so much.

      ​@@myspanisheyes7 The reason why many see "City Too Busy To Hate" as a low bar, is because not many are aware that Atlanta was the center of the Klan universe during the 20th century, as both the 2nd and 3rd Klan era's, (from 1915-1944 and from 1946-present) started in Atlanta.
