A Sign of Things to Come? Buckhead Moves Forward with Plan to Secede from Atlanta

Whites have their backs against the wall all across the formerly white world, save for in Russia.

Backs are perhaps closest to the wall in Atlanta, a scum of hive and villainy (by that I mean black people).

The aggressive push for Buckhead to secede is effectively a small scale form of white nationalism, with the people of the community seeking to break free from the current year Atlanta culture, which is dominated by the blacks, and form their own government.

A Georgia Senate committee has approved two bills that could allow the Buckhead neighborhood to secede from the city of Atlanta, the first time that an issue freighted with fears about crime and racial and economic division has moved forward in the General Assembly.

The Senate State and Local Government Operations Committee’s Republican majority pushed Senate Bills 113 and 114 through on 4-3 votes Monday, sending them to the full Senate for more debate.

Despite the step forward, prospects remain uncertain for the measures, which are bitterly opposed by Atlanta’s business community and the city’s overwhelmingly Democratic lawmakers. If they succeed, residents would vote on forming a new city in a referendum.

In a statement, city spokesperson Michael Smith said Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens “is disappointed by the committee’s vote to advance this short-sighted legislation,” saying it would have “disastrous consequences” and that the city is making progress on reducing crime and improving services.

Some residents of the city’s whitest, most affluent area are trying to pull out of Atlanta and form Buckhead City, saying Atlanta isn’t doing enough to control crime and that affluent Buckhead residents aren’t getting their money’s worth from municipal services.

Kelly Rodts, a Buckhead City supporter, told the committee last week that “Atlanta taxes us to the nines” but that city police have failed to stop both petty and violent crime.

“This violence has reached a tipping point, and that is why we are all here today,” Rodts said. “Buckhead is a target. We’re a target for criminals in the city, and Atlanta has not been able to protect us.”

But opponents say a new city wouldn’t be able to stop criminals from coming to the area. They also say the plan doesn’t deal with major issues and could make crime worse by weakening the remaining parts of Atlanta.

“What is happening today is my constituents are being forced to eat a half-baked pie,” Sen. Jason Esteves, an Atlanta Democrat, said Monday.

I wouldn’t ever eat a half-baked pie.

However, that having been said, we should also take notice that half-baked cookies can be really good, because the gooey texture can be more pleasant than a fully crispy cookie. Especially if the sides are crispy, and the center is gooey.

But I must admit: the question of half-baked pies is a rare instance where I completely agree with a Democrat. A half-baked pie’s crust would not be crispy, and in fact, the inside would likely be cold. The thought truly sends shivers down my spine.

He and others argue that although supporters of a new city are organized and noisy, they represent a minority of residents in the area. They pointedly note that none of the sponsors represent the city of Atlanta.

But Sen. Randy Robertson, a Cataula Republican sponsoring the bills, says he’s championing the rights of citizens unfairly being ignored. He’s pointedly called on Dickens to meet with leaders of the Buckhead City Committee.

“Too many times inside this building and especially outside this building in local communities, elected officials forget who they work for. So when movements happen that remind elected officials who the real bosses are, then I have to support that,” Robertson said.

Robertson likens creating Buckhead City to incorporating any other city. Suburban Atlanta has seen a wave of incorporations since 2005. While the legislation was bottled up last year, new Republican Lt. Gov. Burt Jones supported it while serving as a state senator and has allowed the bills to move forward.

“I’ve been down here 10 years and we’ve voted on referendums to create new cities around the state,” Jones said in a statement. “I’m not going to shut down the conversation.”

Opponents warn the divorce will give bond investors heartburn that could hurt every Georgia city’s ability to borrow money. When the Eagles Landing area was allowed to vote and ultimately rejected seceding from Stockbridge in 2018, bond rating agencies warned that splitting up cities was a risk for investors in all Georgia city bonds.

“Credit ratings and the municipal bond markets would be severely harmed in the state of Georgia,” Ruchi Patel, a lobbyist for the Georgia Municipal Association, said Feb. 16.

Ultimately, Buckhead is serving as a mini model of secession on a larger scale – at least in terms of the psychology of the thing.

There is no polling data right now on the national opinions of the situation, but I would assume that you would have an overwhelming majority of white men supporting it and a slim majority of white women supporting it (that is, a significant majority of married white women supporting it, with virtually no unmarried white women supporting it).

There would also be a reasonable amount of support from minorities themselves, one would imagine based on other polls of these types of issues. Particularly, if the situation was framed in terms of blacks getting more control over the rest of Atlanta, without having to hear the input of the well-off whites of Buckhead, you would have a good number of blacks supporting it (in general, black opinions on political issues are entirely based on how the questions are framed, if you exclude extreme social issues like homosexuality or trannies).

It’s great that the term “divorce” is being used in the Buckhead conversation. The term “national divorce” is used by many conservatives talking about the need to break up America along racial/political lines. Perhaps most prominently, it is used by libertarian podcaster Tom Woods (basically every single day in his 30-minute podcast he promotes this idea).

There is virtually no chance that America will be saved short of a total collapse of society. However, if it were to be saved, the only way it could happen (excluding miracles) would be through a breaking up of the country along political and racial lines.

Right now, we have a totally unworkable situation which can only result in increasing violence over the short term, with one side or the other ultimately either exterminating or subjugating the other side. Having spent a lot of time with conservatives and having a very good grasp of their thought and behavior, I can tell you: there is zero chance they are going to be doing the killing or subjugating.

Unless some large number of blacks or Mexicans join the white team by becoming “natural conservatives,” there is virtually a guarantee that whites would loose any kind of violent civil conflict, due to the docile and submissive nature of the majority of modern white men.
