Is Atlanta Wakanda? Dulcé Sloan Finds Out | The Daily Show in Atlanta 

as a native Atlantan thank you for telling the real truth of our city. I'm very proud to say I'm from here because of what the history and culture of this city represents for black people and people of all races. I love my city peace up a-town down.

Love, Peace and respect to Trevor Noah and the Daily Show team for highlighting different aspects of Atlanta! Big up to Dulce' for her interview with OUR brother Bem Joiner, he's a DOPE representation of the "Old & New" Atlanta, he did a GREAT break down about Atlanta, WORD!!!🙏👊😎

I LOVE THIS! I wasn't born in ATL but I've been here for over 30 years and my babies were born here. Very proud. Now I need GA to do the right thing on Nov. 8th! #Warnock #Abrams #Nguyen🥰

As a white person from Atlanta I’ve always been proud of the diversity in my city

Born and raised in the A, no place like it ✊🏾❤️✊🏾 Oh, and I built that roof top at Ponce City Market 😃

Thank you so much for having the show in Atlanta and featuring this! I wasn’t so aware of what it’s like there and I think that awareness is important. Hope the rest of the country can reach those heights sooner rather than later!

The best part about this segment is you can really feel Dulce's pride showcasing her hometown.

As a white person raised in Atlanta, when I moved to Austin, TX... it was creepy how few black people were around.

Maynard Jackson was a legendary mayor. I'm so grateful that my family moved to Atlanta when I was in the fourth grade from a small Georgia town. I instantly was in love from the moment driving through downtown looking at all of the tall buildings from the back seat of our family's car. I grew up in the suburbs filled with black professionals and very grateful for that childhood experience.I love my city of /\TL/\NT/\ ♡

As British Black person Atlanta intrigues me. Technically Britain has the most educated Black population in the western world being the only western country where black kids outperform white kids in schools, the highest percentage of degree holders of any black population in the western world and the highest average earning black population in all of Europe. In fact 2 of the 5 top performing schools in the entire UK for exam results are In two working class black neighbourhoods. But what we don’t have in Britain is Black Universities and I think it effects British black people in many ways. We don’t have collective black intellectualism that thinks about how to improve the entire black community in Britain. Black people in Britain don’t do anything independent of white people. And when you add that the British deliberately do not teach anything about colonial history meaning black people in the uk nearly all from former British colonies, learn zero black history real auto them and only learn African American history in British schools, in an attempt to make minorities less politically. Which has worked, because in the 1970s and 1980s when British racism was more overt so British blacks then were more politically and more like African Americans. But in the late 1990s racism in Britain became more subtle making this current generation not shown their history more like Brazilians than African Americans, where they are more subservient to white people, less political and not as confident and I think this is down to not having HBCU, that inform African Americans of their culture and history and breeds black intellectualism and networks of the educated black classes, all missing in the uk. .

Love this!! Been in ATL a long time. I’m Latina, but I get real uncomfortable when I travel and see little to no black people. My city has many colors and it makes me happy.

Atlanta is a great City. Each neighborhood has its own character. Is beautiful here. A great skyline. Perfect four seasons. Great restaurants. Plenty of things to do. Professional sports. Not too far from the ocean or the mountains with waterfalls. The world's busiest airport. Affluent blacks. Oh and the multicultural Factor it's another thing that drew me here.

I'm a white guy from the middle of Kansas and I thank you for this. By the way, some of my long view comes from being nearly as old as both of you combined. There are still things that I learn and that I NEED to learn. Thank you for this.

This segment for me is the best regarding black America and African American stories in general. I think Atlanta has a lot to teach other cities and states in America on how to treat each other as people regardless of race and what the black community should do is(education,education and more education folks).

Please don't let these Atlanta segments cause yall to wanna move here! We're full!

I am loving the crowds pride right now I'm loving it. And I also just love Atlanta some of my favorite musicians are from here some of my favorite rappers as well. I know my uncle actually went to move to Atlanta some years ago. he's a barber and from what I know he's self employed. So I kind of have that deep love for Atlanta

Atlanta Forever!!!

Raising awareness for "Defend the Atlanta Forest" which they want to destroy to build a cop city

Atlanta is one of my favorite American cities. I learned a lot from this

This is why I LOVE living here!! It is a fair shot. Opportunities are everywhere. If you fail in this city, at least you know it isn’t because you’re Black!!

I was very scared to go in that Kroger, lol. That is hilarious they brought that up

As a white Atlantan, everything he said is 100% true, and it’s why I’m so happy in this city.

Being Mexican born a d raised in da south , I love it I truly love it!!! Stacy and dulces together powerful!!! Predicting it already!!! Puro fuego!!!

Im a west coast kid who grew up with diversity (black, white, latino, asian, european) back in 70's. Never understood the appeal for so many black folks wanting to return to the "south" after our ppl spent do much time tryna escape. I even got accepted to Morehouse (finances prevented my attendance) but in the last 20yrs Ive learned to understand the Why. Atlanta doesn't have to be the only place, those with influence can do that elsewhere and attract a black migration. Props to the ATL

I’m from South Africa, and I’m black of course😁 and I’m amazed by the level of challenges that my people still face in “The Greatest Country in the world” in 2023😟

What a fantastic segment! I’m not from ATL (I’m in Augusta but visit a lot), I have always known the culture and vibe in ATL is just “different” but i’ve never heard it explained like this. Such a fascinating breakdown of the how and why things function a bit better there than other similar cities.

I'm born and raised in New Orleans and moved to Atlanta 9 years ago. Atlanta is a great City and I wish I would have moved here sooner. I had no clue Atlanta was so diverse before I got here. My first two new friends I made here was from Russia and Ethiopia. Those two women alone helped me grow and understand myself better

As a white guy in Atlanta I love my city and it's culture. I'm just sad about the rest of the state being so regressive. They are certainly repressing the vote. Looking at you Kemp.

This is so golden! The Portland comparison is 😂. I’m from ATL but PDX is home now. Every time I go back this white girl appreciates the Blackness.🙌

I don’t know why I’m so proud of ATL, since I live out in Bumfart Trumplandia rural GA. BUT I AM PROUD! Grew up in College Park. Vote BLUE y’all ! Love you Stacey! Love ya Rev. Warnock! 💙💙💙💙💙💙

I'm really enjoying these ATL pieces!

Born and raised...Sike!! Born in Cincinnati, but I've been here in the 'A' for fourteen years, so Atlanta's been my home! #PeaceUpATownDOWN #OneoftheBESTMovesIveEverMade

Does one have to plan their days around traffic in Wakanda?

Trevor making grand exit from Daily Show. Going black and stand-up. How else? 😂😂👏👏

Atlanta is so special in its own way. As much as I loathe the daily gridlock on the streets, the culture here and the opportunities here are amazing. You will have to grind, but that’s also what I love. Those who make it, have put in the work, no matter where you’re from, what you look like etc. Just attend 1 Atlanta United Game and it’s a perfect mix of every culture of people cheering on the same team for the love of the city. ❤ Gotta love the A… minus the traffic LOL

I see Dulcé, I click Dulcé. im built simple...

Sho is🥰🙌🏾. I’m coming back to Atlanta from Chicago to watch Wakanda Forever 🙅🏽‍♀️😆

Its rare to see dulce become serious. But this is one of it

As a native ATLIEN I approve this segment.

Yes! Atlanta! My brother lives in Atlanta and I have been there, and I love it!

Yes! Love Atlanta. I moved from northeast to Atl and all my friends still ask me if I feel safe living in the South bc they assume it’s more racist and scary. But Atl is diff that even the rest of Ga and it’s way more diverse and accepting than the northeast.

Loved every moment of this interview!!!!

Now I think I have seen an American state I'll like to visit... Atlanta it is... Thanks to Trev, the team and TDS for this piece

(whisper): Atlanta forever! 🙅

Dulcé be glowing! 🌟

I’m a DC girl, ATL is a lil too far south for me to live, but I love visiting there. It feels like home. I grew up in Chocolate city, so I got to see black EXCELLENCE on a whole other level. But when we went south for the summer I ONLY liked when we went to Atlanta! 😊

Dulcé needs to take over for Trevor. There, I said it 😤❤️

I think it's all very fitting for what is demonstrably the greatest city in the south.

My cousin has an art gallery in the Edgewood area. Its definitely a black wealth place to go.

As a guy from Portland Oregon I can confirm that Dulce is right. We only have like 12 black people in the whole state

This is place sounding like my home country. Alright I dig Atlanta

I absolutely Love Dulcé Sloan!!!!!

All of us native ATLiens are feeling so proud this week ❤

Awesome interview Dulce!!!!!

This was beautiful in every way!

Every time I hear Du Bois mentioned I think of Jon Batiste's song "Let's hear it for Du Bois / Let's give Du Bois a hand".

Born and a raised in Atlanta and currently living abroad for over a year and I’m really missing this city

A women was recently beat within an inch of her life by a random man, in Atlanta, and it didn’t even make local news. Atlanta may not be a safe place for the average black woman and we need to talk about that more.

Is it me or were they vibe’n 😏

ATL Shawty!!!!!

I feel that Atlanta is that 1 city where if something happens to me I'd actually get justice.

Trevor should take Dulce to Johannesburg.

the opposite of Portland Oregon 😆

did dulce just fall in love on camera

I love this woman ❤

I wish the rest of Georgia was more like Atlanta. It's a beautiful state but it needs to put sensible adults in charge.

No, Atlanta is not Wakanda. Do not move here. We are full…

after watching this, I'm ready to move to Atlanta lol🤣🤣🤣🤣

Baltimore could really learn from the A.

I’m moving there in the month!

The A is awesome. We need to get a hold on crime and traffic.

Atlanta feels like home

Kroger…. Know it well😂

Could have went on for at least another 3 minutes..

When I lived in Atlanta I loved it, the diversity in the black culture is awesome, like no place else I've been. Living in other cities it is so different!

Dulce, how you and Trevor IN the A and yall ain't said nothing about Takeoff?

I didn’t see my first white doctor until I was 11 years old. I thought all doctors were black men because that’s all I saw growing up. I also went to Woodward academy. He told no lies.

Great job!! Very refreshing 😉

I need to visit Atlanta! It sounds really cool!

Atlanta knows dubs; so they in the right place.

wow Dulce is from Atlanta? from the vibes I get from her, it feels like shes confident cuz she can be...maybe thats the free theyre discussing in the vid. Most people have to be confident bc its the empowering thing to do. And that is bc everyone knows its against the norm and we have to be the ones that has to break boundaries n create new norm. Its this constant push-push struggle where even a single step back is seen as ultimate weakness

Ok Portland didn't need that callout so early in the video 😹 We've had a lot to deal with and doing what we can!! (Okay Roseburg maybe... 🤔)

Dulce hair style makes her looks posh. I love this look

Atlanta is the ish

No one can argue with what he said. I haven't visited Atlanta.....yet......and even I know that 💯💯💯💯

I didn't know now i know.

I used to travel back and forth from Orlando to Atlanta consistently, and I must say ATL is the blackest city in America 💪🏾 and I love it. BLACK HOLLYWOOD.

Just yes ! 🙏All things yes ! 🖤

That’s what’s up! I love being my authentic Black self out here in Oakland Cal

I'm an Asian American. I honestly don't get this segment. I don't think this city is diverse, just like their suggestion of Portland not being "Black." Folks, diversity is an effort. Respect and racism is apparently subjective if you get enough people to believe it.

@Bemjoiner the real Mayor of ATL 💯

nobody judge that Atlanta is on my bucket list destination because it's also the birthplace of Coca-Cola, Cartoon Network &Williams Street,

Wak-lanta Forevaaahhhh

I loved going to Atlanta.....

I moved around out of Atlanta and honestly the black experience elsewhere is lacking to me seems like they trying to be accepted. In the A we outchere

Is it just me, or did it look like Dulce was crushing on this dude?

I mean - Atlanta seems awesome and it is thrilling to see it get much deserved attention for the way it has worked to lift black voices and prosperity, but - are we at a point now where a Daily Show piece is more concerned about inspiring cheers than laughs? I counted - this clip had 14 applause breaks and 5 laughs. Is anyone sharing this piece with a friend saying “check out this Daily Show clip, it’s hilarious”? Sloan is among the funniest comics on the show - but it sometimes feels like satirists forget the satire part of their job, when they are getting so much praise for the activist part.

Vote Blue 🔵💪🏿

Philly loves ATL

Wakanda , a town in Iowa and 1 of the Dakota's I googled it a year ago .
