Lol, are you not in turn being racist by calling people rednecks Booyabazooka?
Living in Forsyth County all my life (17 years), I don't really find much racist sentiment exists, and I think it's a bit inaccurate to call the area "segregated." While there are few black people around, I don't detect any "fear." Particularly as rapid population growth is quickly converting the area from rural/redneckville to more of a middle class suburbia, I believe the racist element is declining. -- Booyabazooka
Forsyth is the only liveable county in GA (within a commute to Atlanta) and has one of the state's lowest crime rates. Hopefully it will remain so good.
Wondering how to edit this U.S. County Entry?
The WikiProject U.S. Counties standards might help.

[edit] March NOT from Atlanta to Cumming
This quote can't be right. "The following week, January 24, approximately 20,000 civil rights activists marched from Atlanta to Cumming."
No way! First of all, I was there, there is no frelling way we marched from Atlanta to Cumming. That would have been about 30 miles on GA 400. That would not have been a protest march but an insane massive walkathon. No, the march was just a few miles (maybe two or three?) from a staging area to the Town Square.
I'd change it myself, but that'd be original research, wouldn't it? 68.219.72.114 03:04, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
The march was less than a mile. Fairgrounds to town square. Picking Forsyth County for the march was about 20 years late. But other than Atlanta itself, is the only target around Atlanta that was in the running and it was a long shot at best.
BTW redneck is not a race or ethnic group. It is not even derogative unless the user intends it that way. Rednecks are hard working farmers whose necks get red in the sun all day.
