Without question, the city of Atlanta has played one of the biggest roles in the history of black America. Although once home to the Ku Klux Klan headquarters, the city moved to become the birthplace of so many black American pioneers leaders, like the late Martin Luther King Jr. who was both born and laid to rest there.
But Atlanta has been ruled by leftist mayors since 1879, which has earned the city the number 6 spot on the "The Most Dangerous Cities in the America" list. The drinking water is contaminated and the city ranks as the 10th most impoverished cities for blacks to live in the United States.
These issues are completely ignored by leftist politicians, who claim that the biggest threat in Atlanta is…RACIAL DIVISION.
Most recently Atlanta's mayor condemned ICE (Immigration enforcement) with the stunning claim that they are not welcome in Atlanta.
REMINDER! Illegal immigrants work for under the minimum wage and take away jobs from American citizens who do not have college diplomas. The United States Commission of Civil Rights issued a report confirming that Black Americans are the group hurt THE MOST by illegal immigration.
It is time for Atlanta to come together and talk about the real social issues affecting its community.

Script:
I consider myself to be a typical, “Main Street” American.
One thing that is different about me is that I have a big family—not so common in America these days. I'm the proud father of thirteen children. Eight are white and five, adopted, are black.
My family is my greatest joy, and my life is dedicated to their well-being and happiness. I'm struggling right now, because I genuinely don't know how best to support my black children through this tumultuous and painful period in our history. Some say I should get involved with the Black Lives Matter movement, while others say I should avoid it at all costs. To help me figure this out, I have some questions for the Black Lives Matter Global Network. Before asking, let me preface my questions with some background.
In the summer of 2020, a peaceful BLM demonstration in my hometown of La Mesa, California turned violent as protesters began rioting, looting, and setting fires. The next day, I took my 14-year-old black son downtown to help with the clean-up. As we walked past the charred remains of Chase Bank, I noticed the letters "BLM" graffitied onto a wall amid the rubble. It was unsettling—as if Black Lives Matter was claiming credit for the bank's destruction. I didn't want to believe that.
Just as any parent who has adopted and biological children, I love them all the same. Obviously, I never want to see any of them wrongly accused, mistreated, or targeted because of their skin color. I would happily support any peaceful movement that helps to secure racial justice and equality.
I also recognize the need for law and order. No community can survive, let alone thrive, without that. This is the source of my conflict and confusion: Is it possible for my family to support the Black Lives Matter movement while also supporting the police? I went to your website, looking for answers. But I came away with more questions.
You state that your mission is to “…eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes." But you don't explain how you're going to do that. What is your definition of "white supremacy"? Of "local power"? By "state," I assume you mean police. Who are the "vigilantes" you're referring to? And how do you propose to "intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities"? Honestly, I can't tell whether you intend to pursue your mission through peaceful or violent methods.
Until recently, your website also declared that you will "disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure." Does my family fit that description? Why would you want to disrupt my family structure?
That language has been quietly removed. Does that mean that you no longer hold that view? Or was it just the expedient thing to do?
I reached out to my local chapter of Black Lives Matter, hoping to speak with someone who could help me sort all this out. I then contacted your regional and national headquarters. I got no response. So I began doing my own research.
That led me to an interview on the internet with one of your founders, Patrisse Cullors. "We are trained Marxists," she said. "We are super-versed on ideological theories." Which theories are those? Is Black Lives Matter a Marxist-inspired organization? Marx advocated for the "forcible overthrow" of our civilization. Is that what BLM wants also?
