I have never been to Georgia or anywhere close by, but is that area of our country still racist?
I am glad I live in Texas, where everyone is friendly and nondisciminatory

At least in the big cities like Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and El Paso, Texas is pretty egalitarian... on the other hand, if you go down to Deep East Texas or the Piney Woods, there still remain some entrenched pockets of unrepentant redneckia, where they still practice the time-honored saying, "(N-word), don't let the sun set on you in Bumf*ckia, Texas." even though the signs disappeared long ago.
Even up to the 60s the town of Greenville, Texas used to have a sign in its downtown area that read "THE BLACKEST LAND - THE WHITEST PEOPLE" Blackest land bacause that area of North and North Central Texas is the blackland prairie, with very rich topsoil.
Recently, the City of Dallas had a conniption fit over the accidental uncovering of a WHITES ONLY sign over a water fountain in some old building. Some want it preserved to remind people of an ugly period in our nation's history, others want the sign completely eradicated.
