      <link>http://downtownatlanta.tribe.net/thread/fa259685-70e9-4f01-b5cc-3610fa968a99</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;WARNING IF YOU ARE NOT BLACK YOU WILL GET BOOTED IN THE PARKING LOT NEXT TO CAFE 428.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I  just bought a home in the ole forth ward on Boulevard.  I had heard of a cafe that feed the homelss and they need help as far as kitchen staff. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A friend of mine and I went to check it out to see how we could help. I said let go get coffee and Javaology and talk to the foks at 428. So we met up parked in the parking lot beside cafe 428. unknowing if we were white and parked in the lot we would get booted. Why do I say this. 
&lt;br/&gt;Two black men pulled as we were getting out of our cars. They parked in the same lot as we did. We were tlaking to the staff about how we could help and the copule had breakfast and left. We left walked out and talked on the side walk and watched the black copule walk drive away. We then went to Javaology and had Coffe. When we got back to our cars they were booted and we had coffee in our hands. So you tell me whats wrong with this picture. We talked to the owner of Javaology he could not do nothing about it. But he does rent the lot. Hummmm Lets see you rent the lot you cannot do anything about it. And we were trying to find out information to support the area. We get a boot slaped on our cars when we try to help. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Can we say  Racial discrimination because we are white. 
&lt;br/&gt;

      <title>anyone hiring?</title>
      <link>http://downtownatlanta.tribe.net/thread/29bbdfeb-11fc-4fa1-b5b3-3d525585db3c</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Anyone hiring?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Most of my experience is in Marketing/New Media/Music Business but also have an assortment of other experience.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Part-time, full-time, temp, whatever.
&lt;br/&gt;Just left a job and looking for something to pay the bills now (and hopefully later)!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Please let me know.
&lt;br/&gt;Thanks,
&lt;br/&gt;Tessa&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;in my city, atlanta, we're seeing the white flight in reverse.  the metro has reemerged as the chic place to be.  so all the white yuppies are migrating in from the suburbs.  they're moving into fixer uppers and brand new stucco conominium atrocities in what have been predominantly low income minority neighborhoods.  strip malls full of targets, bed bath &amp;amp; beyond, lowes, home depots, publix, krogers, etc are being erected in areas that most of their shoppers would've been afraid to drive through in 1995.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;the glass half full interpretation of this phenomenon is "well the neighborhoods are being beautified and jobs are moving in."  but unfortunately that affirmation is not realistic.  for the ugly truth is as all this new development comes in the poor folks are being pushed out.  property value raises too high for low income renters and owners to withstand this new paradigm.  furthermore, pressure from city gov't capitalists and private realstate firms have caused the low to come down even harder on the poor (who are mostly black and hispanic).  every week i hear of more homeless being arrested for jaywalking -- that's a bunch of fascist b.s.  my white middleclass friends and i jaywalk all the time, even in front of cops and noon bats an eye.  most of the public restrooms at parks and such have big evil locks on them and homeless are then arrested for relieving themselves outside.  in the same vein many homeless are being arrested for walking on and/or being close to railroad tracks.  obviously there is a big push against those that we as a society have ultimately failed to be good neighbors to.    
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;the reverse white flight finds the homeless unsightly and fearsome.  so it contributes to their continued persecution.  while at the same time the raising property values push a lot of low income people out int6o the street.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;this is a devastating phenomenon and it's hard to know what to do.            &lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;My family is going to be moving down the Atlanta way in a month or so and I figured I'd say hello since I can count the number of people I know down there on one hand.  &lt;/div&gt;
