The Pace

The city of Atlanta has been selected the 7th worst dressed city in the country. Even Memphis fared better than them. And we're supposedly the worst at everything. Why aren't the progressive blogs and black radio hosts who are normally always shouting the praises of the new L.A., blowing  up the airwaves and bandwidths talking about this? You have all these higher earning gullible black people assimilating to a culture that ultimately holds them back. What is the "Underground" city known for? Atlanta is a city based on spending money right now that you don't have and making it rain in the  clubs. Nothing is geared toward ownership of anything at a later date. Life is a party for the living today. Beauty shows and strip clubs excluded.  What are the major jobs? The service industry is booming there. Now the standard  tip is 20 % and up. If  the bank called in the loans the town would c;lose down. A policeman and his working wife paying a mortgage with an interest only loan is the norm. As soon as they lose their jobs they lose their house and spouse. Then they come back home. Unless they find another job or jobs they end up with some name brand clothes living out the back of their car.

I thought it was ironic that of the top twenty worst dressed cities, fourteen of them had NBA teams in them. More often than not that's the biggest sign of them being in a small city. Their sense of style and transportation.. Maybachs and Maseratis aren't everyday. You might see them out somewhere dressed to the nines in their fancy cars. But them and their family and friends alone should or shouldn't count for something. To me  there is a direct correlation between the two .If nothing else they should be sharp. if the only economy in the city is basketball players and rappers.  You might need better role models. Instead of watching what the entertainers and players wear. Since blacks don't dictate fashion, they buy them. Watch the owners and producers. They set the pace.
