I am black, a pilot, an officer in the military and well educated. I grew up right off of MLK Jr Dr.
So what exactly are you people talking about Atlanta?
FWIW, I was specifically referring to the airport and its employees. Like the one at Chick-Fil-A who told me "Aint got no chicken" when I ordered a sandwich. True story, and occurring daily.
And EXACTLY WHAT is "you people" supposed to mean?!!
If you really want to get into it, I think Atlanta as a city is THE MOST bigoted city I've ever lived in. In the big cities up north, people tend to be much more colorblind. People rarely think about or care what race others are, myself included. In Atlanta, race is an in-your-face issue in EVERYTHING and the African Americans are the ones making it an issue. Take a look at Mayor Jackson's (the namesake of ATL airport) affirmative action laws if you don't believe me. They are 100% REVERSE DISCRIMINATION. But I guess that's ok, when the majority of the population, the entire city council and the mayor are from the same race, right?
I had NEVER been called a "cracker" until I moved to Atlanta.
I would submit that you, sir, are the bigoted one. I'd love to know why the Afircan American community allows this after everything their people have suffered through. Reverse discrimination is not equal to reparations, and two wrongs do not make a right.
