...or closing at a much earlier time.That means the club will have to close around that time. According to the DJ this is mainly attacking the black clubs. Looks like DeKalb is catching the "asshole bug" just like Atlanta. Damn the BET Hip-Hop awards is this week too.
Don't make everything a RACIAL ISSUE!
This proposed LAW will AFFECT ALL CLUBS, not just the BLACK ONES; learn how to THINK FOR YOURSELF!
Just because a DJ says some DUMB SHIT, doesn't mean you have to REPEAT THE SAME DUMB SHIT!
People that OWN HOUSES in DeKalb are tired of young niggas hanging out at all times of the night fighting and SHOOTING AND BANGING, since niggas cannot act right, folks change the law and CLOSE DOWN SHIT TO FORCE NIGGAS TO GO HOME; if niggas were conducting themselves PEACEFULLY, these types of LAWS would never arise!
Don't blame racism, for what THUG ASS NIGGAS HAVE CAUSED
So your "hypothesis" is that hoes are so tired of getting paid to fuck that they are now ready to fuck for free?
You GOT to be shitting me right? You must be broke! No offense.
I agree with everything you are saying here, but if we are the ones PERCEIVED to cause all of the problems (cause we don't) wouldn't that make it racial? They are using us as the catalyst for this change. We fucking it up. "Ain't you scared of the ******s honey."
Don't put on blinders homeboi and think them crackas ain't acting a fucking fool and starting shit at 4am. I'm willing to bet more crackas go to jail on any given night than black people. Real talk.
But they don't put them on the news. They don't broadcast the crime in the white neighborhoods. But let a young black nigga as you call them raise his voice anywhere near a "white" neighborhood and it's time to shut shit down.
Don't front. Please don't front like this shit is in no way racial.

Sometimes you have to call a spade a spade. White boys get wild but they are not increasing the murder rate and causing problems in areas where HOMEOWNERS have issues with them reducing their property value. So, its more economic than just black/white. Perfect example is The Bounce on Bankhead. Wonder why it never reopened? The Black homeowners in that area complained to the city about the massive crime increase and not being able to get home off that exit from the crazy traffic the Bounce caused. Result: no new liquor license renewal and problem solved for homeowners and voters.
COT DAMN

Simple Questions:
When is the LAST TIME that YOUNG WHITE MALES have shot up a nightclub or been involved in a shooting in a NIGHTCLUB PARKING LOT?
When is the last time that a NIGHTCLUB that has majority WHITE PATRONS, had a SHOOTING break-out in the club or in the parking lot?
When I was in college; we had a helluva lot of fun up in Buckhead; as soon as the THUG ASS NINJAS found Buckhead, the PLACE WAS DIFFERENT, I have never worried about any white boy starting no shit with me in Buckhead; but by the time they closed the clubs up in Buckhead, you legitimately had to worry about dealing with thug-ass ninjas.
You can talk that hidden racism shit all you want, but I have never had a white person step to ME in a FOUL WAY, EVER IN MY LIFE; unfortunately I cannot say the same thing about my fellow Black folks!
I guess you haven't noticed that there have been about 4-6 FATAL SHOOTINGS in the last 1-2 months in nightclub PARKING LOTS IN DEKALB COUNTY; usually after 3am and close to closing time.
How do you suggest that the violence be stopped around these nightclubs?
You can't be serious! White people drunk are the most rowdy ass people you would EVER want to see. I'm talking about arguing in the street, breaking shit, busting people up, etc...
The problem is that's the son or daughter of somebody who probably lives in that area so it's not getting coverage like our out of bounds ass. I'm not saying we are not a problem. I'm saying every fucking body is a problem, but they put us on front street as the ONLY PROBLEM.
Prime example...Buckhead. Way more of a white area wouldn't you say. Maybe 3 clubs up there were geared towards black people exclusively (although whites took those over too). Same problems. Traffic, noise, fighting etc... From who? Mostly white people.
Two incedents happened up there that just so happened to INVOLVE black people. Now all of a sudden Atlanta has the "wrong element" in Buckhead. You didn't hear about the disorderly conduct, rape, drunk driving accidents, theft...none of that when it was predominantly white crime.
BUT WHEN THE WHITE PEOPLE WANTED IT SHUT DOWN WHO DID THEY USE AS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM?
And it worked...so whatcha saying?
You want to know why you NEVER hear about it? Look at who is reporting the news.
Like I said...white drunk people are just as dangerous as black drunk people.
Did the crime rate drop in Buckhead because of the curfew? Or was it because it became unpopular for the so-called thug element? And why does the thug element imply black people? Is there not white thugs? White poor people who sell drugs, tote guns, steal, kill, rape, etc...
Why don't you hear about them on your local news?
I was in East Atlanta and the cops raided a "dope house" so to speak. Cops hemmed up 5 people. 4 white and 1 black. The black guy ran away and didn't get a block before he was caught. Now they brought the 4 white people down the stairs from the house (the scene of the action). News cameras came. Where do you think they went to shoot footage at?

Are you trying to say that Whites are bangin' and shooting shit up at the EXACT SAME LEVEL as young Black males are doing it?
You are delusional!
I went to college in Atlanta, and I can tell you what Buckhead was like BEFORE the thug element moved in; OF COURSE THERE ARE WHITE THUGS; but they KNOW BETTER THAN TO HANG OUT IN BUCKHEAD AND START SHIT AROUND WHERE RICH PEOPLE LIVE!
White thugs get arrested less, because they know to cook up their crystal meth in a trailer in the middle of nowhere, once you do your dirty shit near RICH FOLKS; you are begging for the cops to come down hard on you!
Shooting up nightclubs & parking lots (i.e. PUBLIC PLACES); will always draw the attention of POLITICIANS & POLICE, and it usually results in stricter LAWS!
Thug ass niggas mess shit up for intelligent law-abiding blacks!
Truth on the drawing attention. False on everything else. Here we go. I am saying you are brainwashed by what you see. Have you ever watched a mob movie? Why are movies like Casino and Reservoir Dogs considered brilliant while Menace To Society and New Jack City were considered bullshit. Same shit different color.
Whites are doing just as much if not more. Those black people did not come out there just to shoot shit up. They came out there because there is a market for what the hell ever they was selling. YES!!! Believe it or not white people buy drugs too.
Drugs bring criminal elements. Not people. If it wasn't for the drugs in Buckhead there would be no crime in Buckhead. Now what if I told you that the people who move the most weight in Buckhead are WHITE!!! It would make sense right? Them crackas may cook it up in trailers in the middle of nowhere, but they sell it on the streets just like the common negro.
And that brings violence. Understand what I am saying to you. White people have been fighting over turf in Buckhead/Atlanta for years. But people forget that once they get a black person to act a fool. Then that spike gets attributed to us and not them. Are you this blind?

Come on man you arguing back and forth with dude knowing good and damn well he is right. Anybody that has been to a white club will tell you that its a whole different experience, yes they do DRUNK and rowdy but in black clubs the ignorant niggas that cause the trouble aren't even drunk and they acting 10 times as rowdy as the drunk crackas. I'm sure there's a slight racial element to all this but the majority of it isn't

Nigga please!
This ain't "Gangs of New York"!
When the FUCK HAVE WHITE FOLKS BEEN FIGHTING OVER "TURF" IN BUCKHEAD?
You sound like the biggest damn fool in the HISTORY OF BGOL!
I'm talking about Buckhead in ATLANTA,GA.; not NOT BUCKHEAD IN SOMALIA!
WTF??
Nigga is YOU CRAZY?
Nigga puhlease that bitch is way played out. I've seen some of her "regulars" and they ain't all "ballers" get mah drift.
Damn how long has it been? Guys and Dolls is Pinups now and it's been like that for at least 7-8 years. Blue Flame is so-so, the hoes that were there back in the day are loooooooong gone.
I agree.
I see you are an ATL fan and not a resident.
I'm down there. My company helps develop buildings in the area. The shit is sad. But them crackas got money so they move it down the block. Same way the did with cocaine when it first started. Upscale. But now it's starting to trickle down. Give Buckhead about two more years and they won't be able to hide it anymore. You can't even drive down there now without some preppy ass kid trying to flag down the car to buy or sell. What it's better because he got on Tommy Hilfiger while he do it?
Black folks are not the one's on the block anymore. Move outside of the black neighborhoods and you'll see what the fuck I am talking about.
Don't you see they starting to bust more and more meth labs in GA? Where you think they selling it at? Somalia muthafucka?
Drugs breed violence and we ain't selling meth. That shit is the new crack and it's crackas that are buying it.
Sorry to burst your self hating bubble playboi. Or are you white?
yo slam cant you just start a private gentlemen club and prescreen the cliente?
You could theoretically!
But in order to make any money you'll have to eventually go to the City or County for a liquor license; and then you'll HAVE TO DISCLOSE WHAT TYPE OF BUSINESS YOU ARE; if you offer adult/nude dancing; then that sets off a whole separate level of scrutiny.
Sooner or later the govt. will get "involved".

How in the fuck are you gonna pull out some self-hating bullshit?
I'm not the one out there bangin' & shootin' mofo!
I grew up in Atlanta, the SWATS; went to college in Downtown Atl (Ga. Tech); hung out in Buckhead damn near every weekend; I KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT; I have seen what has happened in Buckhead over the last 20+ YEARS!
That shit you talking above is pure fantasy!
White kids on the corner in Buckhead selling dope?
Nigga pulheeze; yo' ass out there trying to score some damn dope!
Ah...and there it is. When valid points are presented and bullshit is squashed we resort to name calling.
It's a shame. I thought you were actually in touch with the world of today. Meth ain't dope in the sense of what we call it. It's upscale like cocaine was right now. When crack and freebase hit it wasn't meant for poor people. It turned rich people into poor people. Same thing meth is doing to Buckhead and all of these other well to do neighborhoods in Atlanta.
Now like I said if you see a "gang" of white people hanging on a corner they just hanging. You see a "gang" of black people they are a real gang and must be selling drugs. Hard to turn that programming off ain't it.
I am down there at least two to three times a week. Tell me they are not building in Buckhead? You telling me about my first hand experience? Check out Pharr Rd and Peidmont and Buckhead Ave (you know where the clubs are) and tell me what you see? Lenox Square Mall area nigga. Now those slanging are not "thugs" per se because they are smarter, but don't get it twisted. The violence starts from the users first. You think those ruthless ass young crackas who are raised by the corporate thugs are not gonna bring that attitude to the streets?
You silly to think that white people got they shit together and we don't. Most "drug dealers" are not stupid and they are not black either. But you call it what you want playboi.

Interesting.
So your "hypothesis" is that hoes are so tired of getting paid to fuck that they are now ready to fuck for free?
You GOT to be shitting me right? You must be broke! No offense.
Non taken. I'm just sayin' that it's possible to fuck one them janky ass hoes for free.

EXCUSE ME STUPID ASS!
You started with the NAME CALLING FIRST!
"Self-Hater"; does that sound familiar?
Your shit ain't making no damn sense at all!
You are mis-interpreting shit and then you are arguing with yourself!
I never said, "WHITES HAVE THEIR SHIT TOGETHER"; what I said was, "was that whites are not out banging and shooting nightclubs and parking lots like young black males ARE; anyone that lives in Atlanta KNOWS THIS IS TRUE!
You're trying to run some bullshit "Gay-a-nation" type shit by claiming that whites are doing the same shit AS BLACKS, and folks FROM Atl. know this is not true; there hasn't been a SHOOTING AT A "WHITE CLUB" in Atlanta in "I-don't-know-when".
When I lived in Gwinnett, they have this big ass Country & Western club out by Gwinnett Place Mall, and crackas get drunk and rowdy and fight over women; BUT NO ONE HAS GOTTEN SHOT THERE, a few drunk & disorderlys, but NO SHOOTING UP THE PARKING LOT; conversely, if you go over to COVINGTON HWY. (Black Clubs); those parking lots are getting shot up EVERY WEEKEND!
You must be the only person in Atl. that thinks that Buckhead has a meth problem; BTW, BUFORD HWY. AIN'T BUCKHEAD!
Clearly you don't know white chocolate like I know white chocolate.
And fuck you bklyn1889....keep yo ass over there on Buford! The Eastside is better without ya.
......crackas 
damn yall complaining about 2am
shit thats the norm up north
everything closes at 2am unless its NYC
but do u really want drunks on the road at that time
That's what I'm saying. Damn, 2 am, ain't nothing wrong with that. Get your fucking ass home.
Shit don't start poppin' until 1AM here. This is not how Atlanta used to get down!!!!!!
That my friend is 100% truth. I read about the revamping of Buckhead in the Atlanta Business Chronicle. The only thing is its not just going to stop there, they are planning doing the whole city. There is some heavy construction going on memorial drive as we speak.
"He is seeking to put an end to all the club owners rushing to open shop in DeKalb county to avoid the 2:30 AM curfew on liquor sales in Atlanta"

Let's see you called me delusional, a nigga, the biggest damn fool in Atlanta...should I continue.
I have done nothing but give you intelligent banter and you have done nothing but get madder and madder. For what? Defending crackas? So the self hating tag applies.
You know so much about white clubs right? Do you frequent them? I know cops who PATROL them. They admit they handle them in different ways. Drunk white man pulls a gun in the parking lot they gonna talk to him. Young black man...what do you think?
In fact I live in Atlanta and I haven't seen shit about all of this "fatal shooting" shit you talking about in Dekalb. Last fatal shooting I remember was Onyx on Cheshire Bridge and that was an execution. Didn't have shit to do with the club.
They pushed the curfew back in Buckhead mainly because of traffic, noise, loitering and drunk fuckers starting shit. All problems before black people showed up. The shooting is what they used to get the agenda pushed over and the shooters happened to be black.
As a matter of fact...How many clubs in Buckhead even catered to black people? And how many black people were patrons of those clubs? What I am saying is this agenda to close clubs early in Dekalb has been around for a minute, but didn't pick-up steam until we started showing up. Same as in Buckhead.
Cut out all that shooting shit because it is usually rare and isolated. What about the noise, traffic, public drunkness, destruction of property, etc... Are those purely black problems? I'm pretty sure that's why neighborhoods have problems with clubs.
Finally, I find out what's the truth behind this. It's one sports bar the owners of the now closed "112" and "Uranus" are trying to build in off Briarcliff Rd. This is stupid, just deny that one club its liqour license. Why try and shut down every damn club in the county over some bullshit.
Ads attack DeKalb commissioner over night clubs
By TY TAGAMI
The Atlanta Journal-Constitutio n
Published on: 10/04/07
A group opposed to early bar closing hours has bought newspaper ads claiming DeKalb County Commissioner Jeff Rader "does not want African American night clubs" in the county.
The ads this week in Creative Loafing and CrossRoads News, a south DeKalb community newspaper, criticize Rader's proposal to enact earlier bar closing hours in the county.
"Is this DeKalb's 'Jena 6'?" the ads ask, referring to the Louisiana town that made national news recently over a racially charged event.
A note at the bottom said the ads were paid for by DeKalb citizens, business owners and employees of bars, restaurants, hotels and nightclubs.
Rader represents the neighborhood at Clairmont and Briarcliff roads where business men who are connected with popular night spots such as Club 112 and the defunct Club Uranus said they plan to open an "events center."
The Atlanta Journal-Constitutio n reported last month that some people in the neighborhood were concerned about what one resident called "an undesirable element" coming to the new establishment late into the night.
"Who are undesirables? " the new ads ask.
The ads also include a quote in the article from Rader, who told the Journal-Constitutio n there was "no reason" DeKalb had to be the "late-night party place."
The ads urge readers to "express your indignation" at the DeKalb commission meeting on Tuesday.
Rader said in an interview Thursday that the ads were "a little over the top."
Rader said he'd been considering legislation changing bar closing hours since June, before news surfaced about the new events center. His proposal has nothing to do with race, he said, but is simply a matter of public safety. If bars are open longer, people drink more and do things that require police intervention, he said.
Rader said the ads won't change his plans to hold a vote on his proposal on Tuesday. He said the ad "will make me a martyr in my district."
