Somalis In Atlanta?

This is a reminder of the famous movie Gone With the Wind and Aunt Pittypat Hamilton about to have psychotic breakdown because the Yankees are about to invade Georgia.

Yankees in Georgia?

Our esteemed governor Nathan Deal has made a fine mess things by ignoring entirely, the majority of voters, succumbing to the demands of business and ignoring the will of the people. Now we learn Nathan Deal has failed to stop, probably encouraged, the Federal government to place Somalian refugees in Atlanta. Here is map detailing the number of persons placed in different cities.

Atlanta has 169 new persons that most likely will be on welfare, receive housing assistance, receive food stamps and resist assimilation entirely.
Chicago, Detroit, Washington DC, Los Angeles or New York City are some notable cities, very large cities, that have not received any Somali refugees.
As Mammy would have said.

"It just ain't fittin."

One thing is for sure, like the countdown watch the world has on President Obama's term of office, Georgians like me cannot wait for the Governor Nathan Deal to be retired, out of the picture.
