So it\u2019s been a little bit of time since the rise and fall<\/a> of Renaissance, Georgia, ironically before it even got to be risen officially.\u00a0 It\u2019s actually been quiet since then, which means the twisted local government is either plotting their next attempt to deceive the people and roll something out without any of their representation, or perhaps they\u2019re busy watching Netflix instead.\u00a0 Either way, with the failure that was Renaissance, the name of the area remains the cold and callous sounding \u201cSouth Fulton.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

And unless you\u2019ve been living under a rock, Black Panther<\/em>-mania has taken over the world for this hot second, and few people in the world can actually say anything bad about the ground and record-breaking film.\u00a0 Needless to say, all things Black Panther has been on the tips of everyone\u2019s tongues this week, as just about everyone in the world is still seeking out tickets and trying to go see the film for the first, or third times.<\/span><\/p>\n

I saw this \u201cjoke\u201d pop up on my old neighborhood\u2019s Nextdoor account, and my first thought was \u201ctoo easy.\u201d\u00a0 A city in the Metro area that\u2019s like ~80% black wanting to call themselves \u201cWakanda?\u201d\u00a0 You don\u2019t say!<\/span><\/p>\n

But then I thought about how alternatives would have been shit like \u201cRenaissance\u201d or \u201cAtlanta Heights\u201d or something else shitty, and suddenly Wakanda doesn\u2019t seem like such a bad option.\u00a0 Not only is it ironically funny if it were officially in place, I have to imagine that just about every person who\u2019s seen Black Panther at this point would be completely on board with it, thus eliminating the whole \u201cyou can\u2019t change shit without us the people\u201d conflict would be out of the equation.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And as much as I make fun of Nextdoor for it being such a robust source of ironic people watching, it\u2019s still populated by a rather substantial number of people who understand and exercise the importance of voting, and if they\u2019re any indication of the populous of the City of South Fulton, then there\u2019s a very strong chance that Wakanda would actually have some legs.\u00a0 This idea has a laundry list of people in favor of Wakanda, and I\u2019m not entirely sure a lot of people realize that the initial remark was a joke.<\/span><\/p>\n

Granted, ultimately the biggest roadblock would be that little thing called Marvel\/Disney\u2019s intellectual property, and how they\u2019d stone wall an attempt to utilize a name without paying gobs of money for the rights to do so faster than a crowd of people whip out their phones to take photos and video instead of call the cops during a violent incident, but people can have hopes and dreams right?<\/span><\/p>\n

Shit, I\u2019d vote for Wakanda if I still lived down there.\u00a0 I enjoyed the film enough to do so, and frankly Wakanda would obviously be a better choice than anything else the local government would try to force down the throats of the people.\u00a0 Plus, it would be hilarious and entertaining to tell people that I lived in, or used to live in, fucking Wakanda.\u00a0 And when they\u2019d point out that I wasn\u2019t black, I could no sell them, cross my arms and do that chest clap thing they do and say \u201cWakanda Forever\u201d as if that mattered.\u00a0 Man, and then maybe the prideful Wakanda mentality where people actually cared about their homes would start to take hold in South Fulton, and the place would actually grow and develop out of the crime-ridden, neglectful wasteland it is now, except that probably wouldn\u2019t happen, but again, we can wish, right?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
