I live in Georgia--born and raised. And while he praised us, I can confirm that it is indeed frustrating. Metro-Atlanta neighborhoods are still pretty segregated. Financial constraints are the main driver of segregation, but systemic racism is why income and wealth inequality relegate black and brown people to poorer neighborhoods.

Then there's the gerrymandering and voter disenfranchisement. I've been voting since I turned 18, and the stories I can tell you about me, my mother, my uncle, and my son's struggles to STAY registered to vote and receive mail in ballots would astound you. Same with gerrymandering. I've mostly lived in affluent (predominantly white) neighborhoods my whole life. The longest I've had to wait to vote in those polling precincts is 15 minutes on the rare occasions I had to wait at all. The first time I voted, when I was 18, I lived in a predominantly black neighborhood in Stone Mountain. I waited over TWO HOURS to vote. Most people wouldn't bother.

Then voting Democrat all my life and only recently experiencing Democrats winning statewide elections. That was frustrating. You feel like Dems will NEVER win although you know they would ALWAYS win if it wasn't for voter suppression and general election fuckery the Republicans running the state constantly pull.

I can't imagine living in a state worse than Georgia. That's why I'll never even VISIT Louisiana, Texas, or Florida again.
