Looking at the criteria though I wonder what would happen if the median household salary was a tad lower?

The "black scene" in terms of nightlife and cultural events isn't really existent. There aren't too many lounge-type spots, and the clubs are the type that make you decide whether you want to risk your life of not before you decide to go in. Seriously. There are some art festivals and such, but they tend to be more grassroots/community sponsored (nothing wrong with that) than the big, well-advertised events like Atlanta's black film festival. Also, the city is huge land-wise, so there's not really a cohesive neighborhood feel except in a few areas like Little 5 Points, Springfield, etc.
Before it seems like I'm hating on my city though, I'll give you the plusses:
-The weather is nice
-Lost of green space for those who are tired of looking at concrete all the time
-Wonderful beaches that are easy to get to
-A beautiful riverfront (even though it is underutilized)
-low cost of living
-beautiful neighborhoods
-a growing city with a progressive population
-lots of activities if you know where to look

I totally disagree with your comments about Atlanta. If these are the kind of people you are constantly coming into contact with, then YOU need to check out who you are choosing to hang around with. The entertainment industry-new money blacks have their world and the professional blacks have theirs. Trust, it is not one and the same.
Atlanta is a wonderful city full of educated, professional blacks.

hawaii would be great if there were a mass migration of blacks here its easy to get a job and
racism is on a case by case basis. I've been able to adapt quickly.
but you know as beautiful as the weather is its hardly home I go home every year and miss the familiarity anyone who lived in ATL let me know how it is, I heard its a good place for black professionals trying to get started.
