Ok so I have a theory. I’m a rare atlien. Born and raised here. Since the recent election especially, but really, going back to the first Trump term and even before… Atlanta has a huge black population and we are proud of it. They are not feeling alright, and I don’t blame them.
If you look at the demographics on the last election, black women especially, but also black men, voted for Harris. I’m as white as the day is long and, even though I voted Harris, none of them know it. I guess I’m saying I feel the shade, both driving and walking through the grocery store sometimes. I’m probably projecting but I’m picking up feelings of betrayal. Sorry to weigh down your shower thought but as a friend and ally to black Atlanta, this place is grieving the choice the country made.
Again, maybe it is just me grieving and projecting it on everything but I don’t think so. It all makes me feel sick.

TL;DR; You came at a bad time.
