Exactly. I left in June. Atlanta's not any better, but it beats BH. I actually remembered when this aired back in the 70's, I think it was Channel 2 out of Chicago. The problem is that people have a ghetto mindset...whenever you mention or point out the many bad things there, or how counter-productive behavior contributes to negative image of the town, they say "you're hatin!'" Unless the people look at themselves & change how they think, act, and see things, it wont change!

@INSANEFREAK1 you can only help the people that want to help themselves. whitey cant just throw money at you anymore. you notice how all the people working for him were white cause they show up for work. get a job ya free loader.

Thats like my dad he moved to michigan and opened up a factory for FLP in BH. it lasted i think around 10 years. he kept hiring black employes but they wouldnt show up they were late. or they would play the race card and my dad would fire them on the spot. you cant run a buisness if the employes dont show up. the buisness got shut down 1 year after he had had enough. so another one bights the dust. you cant help people that dont want to help themselves
