      If you haven't visited the Atlanta History Center, you should. Im from VA and when I moved to GA for college it was required of me to take GA History to graduate from a GA University. In VA I only learned of our History, Jamestown, Williamsburg, Pocahontas, etc. Anyway alot of history in the center. Also vist other cities outside of Atlanta, they have History centers too at their tourist information spots.

      That’s you, you can do whatever you want in America, my grandmother came from Jamaica in 1970 with 6 kids and $30 in her pocket tell me how she was able to build a successful restaurant in the next couple of years, nobody held her back, no white people came and burned her business down in fact white people were her biggest customers and tell me why black people criticized her for having a successful business and working with white people to become successful? My mother worked in NYC’s World Trade Center for Cantor Fitzgerald, one of the highest grossing financial and baking services company at the time(1990’s-early 2000’s) and she became one of the top people in the company, she bought a penthouse at 71 Broadway in manhattan, then 9/11 happened, almost lost her life, lost her brother who worked for the same company and lost her job, today she still owns that penthouse works in real estate, owns a brand new BMW M4 and a 2015 Lamborghini Huracan, I myself mod cars to maximize performance and make them as fast as possible and I’m building up my own car dealership and I’m also working on a degree in transportation design so I can become an automotive designer and design performance cars for a living, I already own a 2004 dodge stratus SE, a 1984 corvette and a 2000 corvette. So don’t act like we’re stupid and can’t find a way to prosper because if my family can do it I’m sure you can. I’m sure you have some type of talent now all you have to do is figure out a way to turn that talent into something that makes you money.
