The aggressive push for Buckhead to secede is effectively a small scale form of white nationalism, with the people of the community seeking to break free from the current year Atlanta culture, which is dominated by the blacks, and form their own government.

A Georgia Senate committee has approved two bills that could allow the Buckhead neighborhood to secede from the city of Atlanta, the first time that an issue freighted with fears about crime and racial and economic division has moved forward in the General Assembly.
Some residents of the city’s whitest, most affluent area are trying to pull out of Atlanta and form Buckhead City, saying Atlanta isn’t doing enough to control crime and that affluent Buckhead residents aren’t getting their money’s worth from municipal services.
Ultimately, Buckhead is serving as a mini model of secession on a larger scale – at least in terms of the psychology of the thing.
