First of all R.I.P. to Vernon Forrest and condolances to his family.
I have question regarding your retort to Peachey Sweet's statement. I'm not from ATL, nor do I ever want to live there, but why is it that she states that the crime increase is due to NO transplants, she's acting like a CAC?
No disrespect to NO folks, but what does the fact when the majority of crimes are committed by people who look like us and possibly committed by transplants of NO (or ATL residents for that matter, she's thinking like a CAC?
Its no aim to defend Peachey Sweet, I just curious.
White people distort numbers. Any person with half a brain knows this, so why would I contribute ATL crimes to N.O people. If numbers on the crime rate exist (before and after Katrina), in many areas it can be flawed like:
Does it keep track of transplants from other cities like Florida, South Carolina, New York etc. If you live in Atlanta and don't actually 'come here on visits' you will know that Atlanta is filled with people from other places. Secondly, does it keep numbers on the connection between crime and the global depression. Fact is, people commit crimes when the economy is bad. We were in a depression long before they mentioned it here in the United States.
I just don't see how someone can comment on something that they don't even live in.
