Continuing my holiday report that I started on Monday. I have to talk about V103’s/Q100 "Unity Mixer", held at the Lotus Lounge in Buckhead. The event was designed to integrate Atlanta’s noticeable “culture†divide within the Atlanta nightlife. Ok, I tried to be politically correct in that last sentence but bottom lineâ€"Black people and White peopleâ€"â€"don’t party together down here. As progressive as the “A†tries to be, at the end of the day your're constantly reminded that you're still in the SOUTH. Many local "ATLiens" observe how palpable the racial divides are. Black and White people tend to have indirect racism, not realizing that the “indirectness†is, in fact, directly affecting how we all party and, even, socialize.
To be honest with you, I love to party. If the music is bumping, and the drinks are flowing, I’m good. White or Black establishment, I don’t particularly care. However, when it comes to the ladies, I personally want to be around an even amount of sistas. While, I can appreciate a white girl with a phat ass, there’s something about a sista that makes me want to just lay in her hair (if you’re fan of “The Love Below†then you understand what I’m talking about). So as long as the spot I go to has what I need, then I'm there. But, at the end of the day we all need to come together and end the racism bullshit no matter what our preferences are. So, I congratulate V103's Frank Ski, and Wanda as well as Bert, from Q100's The Bert Morning Show, on a job well done with this event.
