>>I live across the street from two interacial couples; in Forsyth County, Georgia, no less.

For those who don't know the history of Forsyth County, it was one of the last Klannish / seriously anti-black racist counties in GA. It has, in the last 10 or 15 years, become just another part of the suburban Atlanta metro area megapolis. And really an upscale one at that.

But 20 years ago, a co-worker's grandfather-in-law had a couple of black guys doing yard work on his lake house on the Forsyth side of Lake Lanier. A couple of country boys showed up in a fishing boat, told him his yard help had better be gone by sundown, and not to have them back. He had the impression they meant business.

Fortunately, those days are totally gone from Forsyth from what I can tell, and really from the rest of GA as well. If it's out there, it's really, really under the radar.

I believe you because all those weird talk shows that had featured Forsythe County were from the early-mid 1980s. Now according to a lot of people they say there are parts of the South that are better than the North! (I'd not mind living in J.Lo's new digs)
