The one area you may wish to avoid these days is known as the "Buckhead Triangle" area. It's in lower Buckhead and is an area where Peachtree and Roswell Roads run into one another.<br /><br />In years past it was a very trendy, someone snootishy night club area (think L.A. with a southern twang). In the last 3-4 years however several famous Hiphop and Rapper type guys have opened clubs in the area and at night, especially on weekends, it gets pretty hairy in that area. Night crime has shot up quite a bit (shootings, stabbings, muggings, etc). 90% of the time it's guys in those clubs getting into it and taking it outside, but bystanders seem to be caught up quite a bit... plus, noise in that area at night has seen a huge increase (cars driving up and down blaring high bass Rap, etc). Many people who live in the buildings surrounding that area complain about the noise and problem now. The local police installed a lot of cameras on the light poles which helped a little bit, but it's still an area I would not invest money in to live."<br /><br />I have lived in Atlanta for 30 years. Buckhead used to be "the place" to go for nightlife and trendy restaurants. Now that the blacks have moved in, it is no longer the place to go. In fact, wherever they are, there tends to be a high incidence of crime. Buckhead is the scene for the infanous "P Diddy" shooting incident years ago. who wants to be around that? i am seriously consdering moving out of this town. i live in a suburb, but the blacks are starting to show up. better get out before my property <br />value tanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890530692790573387.post-83355871420379503522011-07-09T20:24:15.579-07:002011-07-09T20:24:15.579-07:00PK Reloaded: Making nothing out of what you have b...PK Reloaded: Making nothing out of what you have been given is a the trait that best explains poverty in the midst of plenty.

After two schoo...Continued from previous post.....<br /><br />After two school years of working with SHRM-Atlanta and Mayor Franklin's Youth Program, I gave up; didn't bother volunteering anymore (though I'm still on their mailing list). It was clear to me then that there were problems already in place that were so severe that nothing these workshops could do would help most of the kids. The workshops were designed to help underscore and accentuate the skills that these students were supposed to have already possessed, but unfortunately most of these kids needed remedial math and English language courses, which was not something we could offer. Most of the volunteers were white and from Cobb, Gwinnett, and Cherokee Counties, in addition to the North Fulton area, and all of the students that I saw (and I saw hundreds) were black. There were some good, decent kids out there who "got it", but the vast majority of the students, in addition to being woefully under-educated, were somewhat apathetic about school, themselves, their future, and the program as a whole. It was like I was speaking in a foreign language.<br /><br />The APS can't blame this cheating scandal on No Child Left Behind or George W. Bush or "white-flight" or racism or systemic bigotry. The APS and the City Council are all black...the Mayors have been black for decades...the administrators and teachers have been mostly, if not all, black. All of the blame or all of the credit must be laid at the feet of the black community and the APS administrators. They had all the money and all the power and all the influence and still could not legitimately raise standardized test scores one percentage point without cheating. Maybe it's time for them to consider "school choice" or voucher programs or charter schools. Maybe they need to start considering boys only schools and girls only schools. But whatever they do, the black Atlanta community and the APS need to look inward, because that is where the problem lies. They were given everything and made nothing out of it.PercyKittensReloadednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890530692790573387.post-33220699515466388432011-07-09T09:18:14.898-07:002011-07-09T09:18:14.898-07:00I may have a unique perspective on this issue. I w...I may have a unique perspective on this issue. I was a volunteer for a collaboration between the Atlanta chapter of S.H.R.M. (Society of Human Resource Managers) and the Atlanta Mayor's Youth Project. For most Saturdays in March and April over the past few years, there would be all-day workshops set up at a building just a block from Turner Field, where Atlanta Public School's senior classes could go to get counselling, tutoring, job preparation courses, and an opportunity to meet with then Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin.<br /><br />Every 30 minutes or so the students would shift to a new booth or worktable or conference room and get professional advice and help from people in the human resources field to help prepare them to enter the job market once they graduated in May or June and/or to successfully apply for a handful of internships with the different companies that had signed on to Mayor Franklin's Youth Program.<br /><br />I'll start off by saying that Mayor Franklin was a very passionate advocate for these young people. She really wanted to help them, and she led several round-table discussions with the kids, getting them to introduce themselves and discuss what school they attended, what they wanted to do after high school, which careers interested them, etc...I don't blame her for any of this; it wasn't just a photo-op for Mayor Franklin. The assignments that I had volunteered for (and I did this over the course of two different school years) were to run the students through mock interviews in order to work out all the kinks and problems that they might encounter in a real world situation, in order to give them some insight into what employers would be looking for when doing an interview. It was my job to evaulate them and give them honest, yet helpful constructive criticism about how they presented themselves to me in order to improve their own performance when going out into the real world.<br /><br />I knew back in 2007 and 2008 that these students "graduating" from the Atlanta Public Schools system were in trouble, because so many of them would come to me for their mock, 10-minute interview and had trouble reading the most basic forms given them, or articulating who they were and why they wanted the internship. In addition to having problems with deductive reasoning skills, they also came to the interview sloppily dressed, even though they had been told before the event to make sure they dressed in business attire. And these weren't just kids from one or two schools; they were from all over the district. They weren't poor; they came with fresh, clean jeans (hanging way below the waist), polo shirts not tucked into their pants, sneakers, baseball caps on sideways, girls wearing clothes that were too revealing, allowing their breasts or their stomach to spill out of their clothes, etc (not all of them, but too many of them to ignore). <br /><br />To be continued....PercyKittensReloadednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890530692790573387.post-14803318570105612762011-07-08T23:56:31.354-07:002011-07-08T23:56:31.354-07:00Argentinian Hispanic: I remember when some of the ...Argentinian Hispanic: I remember when some of the Reaganites wanted to privatize all the Federal lands, or give them to the states to sell off to developers.

Black education should be different from white education. It is not compassionate to deny racial differences. The progression of subject matter should proceed at a different pace and black students should graduate to the working world, at perhaps a much younger age, with a command of basics and not the unrealistic, utopian expectation that they will study Algebra II in high school or go on to higher education that isn’t narrowly vocational. Of course, some blacks will do these things and they deserve the opportunity to succeed, but schools should acknowledge the general characteristics of black students and adopt realistic standards."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890530692790573387.post-68206448559334141732011-07-08T12:57:31.383-07:002011-07-08T12:57:31.383-07:00A couple of days ago, the Atlanta Urinal Constipat...A couple of days ago, the Atlanta Urinal Constipation ran a front page story which basically said that the biggest reason for all of this cheating at the black-run schools in Atlanta was all because of the "No Child Left Behind Act" - a federal law which was signed by George W.

This is total bullshit. Public teachers draw most of their ranks from the bottom quartile of the educated population so you would not expect them to be pulling down massive pay packages. What they don’t get in pay they gain in security through health care, pensions, and the impossibility of ever being fired or laid off. They form themselves into virtual collectives in order to maximize the risk reward ratio similar to the way a government bond holder gets a lower dividend than a corporate bond holder or stockholder. It does not mean it is a bad investment only that there is less risk so the return is less. <br /><br />Teachers are on the front lines of society. Having an unfiltered view of the populace they unmistakably see the effects of massive third world immigration, lower black and Hispanic IQ, single parenthood, thoughtless crime, and the like. Rather than act as societies eyes and ears, teachers choose to collectively hide behind political correctness, race baiting, and overt socialism to help along their constituency at the expense of the rest of us. Their silence is worse than useless and they deserve whatever scorn is heaped on them. <br /><br />Prof. WolandAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890530692790573387.post-40931370149678495302011-07-07T10:54:12.424-07:002011-07-07T10:54:12.424-07:00If there was an up front payment for voluntary ste...If there was an up front payment for voluntary sterilization, I think that would be best.
