That's the predominant situation where I'm from (and, something I'll have to "grapple" with when I go back).
I agree with Soror icebrAKA about wanting to live where there's diversity, but that can be a personal drawback when you're not looking "elsewhere" to date. I guess it's a good thing I'm not the "marrying kind".
ETA: More about my take on Atlanta...
My fam (and I, back in the day) lives on the "outskirts" of ATL (
Lithonia, Decatur, Riverdale, the
Cascade area, etc.), not in the heart of the city where (most of) the problems that have been mentioned exist. So, that's why I wouldn't mind going back if need be. The whole dating scene issue *would* be a concern, but that seems to be the issue no matter *where* I am (just MHO; refer back to the "marrying kind" statement).
