Steve Sailer writes: The sad thing is that the Atlanta area, which attracts numerous educated blacks, is about as good as it gets for black-white equality in 21st-century America. In contrast to Detroit or Washington, D.C., where black mayors often acted out of sheer racist spite, Atlanta’s black political leadership has traditionally been willing to cut deals with the area’s white corporate bosses that benefit both races. (In general, blacks seem to do better in red states like Georgia.)
If I were a black college graduate and wanted my children to grow up around the offspring of other black college graduates, I’d seriously consider moving to Atlanta. The region attracts educated blacks because the Greater Atlanta area is an airline hub with many big corporations. The local economy isn’t particularly entrepreneurial; but then African-Americans aren’t very entrepreneurial. They tend to do best in large, already well-organized institutions such as the U.S. Army or the Coca-Cola Corporation.
