The locals arn't always so nice to the newcomers. They will be nice in the stores, etc. but just stay a while and you will see what I mean. And someone asked the pros and cons from FL to GA? How about state tax! And crazy fees to renew your tags. We had a new SUV that cost $400 to renew. Things to think about.
The clan has been outta business for years, put there by the IRS. Only old guys reliving the past. Hasn't been a cross burned in a long time. Yeah, so yer tags cost a bit more, I'll be yer insurance dropped though. Taxes on vehicles are high everywhere, except here in MT - b/c we don't have a sales tax.

Im not going argue with you. But I know for a fact the KKK exists in North Georgia. I dont know about burning crosses but they do exist.Young and old alike as well as skinheads. Just google....white knights of georgia or kkk,georgia,etc. Also,look at this sites race numbers in the upper cities.It speaks for itself.

You can't believe everything you find on the web. Many things which appear to be official are not. Here's an example created by someone at the University where I obtained my degree:

This is true,however I will tell you that I visited my boyfriend who was going to school at the time in Dahlonega. I stayed one summer and I saw things around there that I had never experienced. He's hispanic, but I saw the blacks being treated bad too. I saw trucks with confederate flags, and kkk hoods flying off the antenna,alot of people wearing the blood drop symbol from the kkk,etc. He was threatened many times by rednecks to "go back where he came from" and we both felt very unwelcomed anywhere near dahlonega or dawsonville or even jasper or cleveland areas. Dont know if they are actually kkk or just wanna be...but they scared the shi* out of us. and yes, we got out!Believe me that kkk stuff is there and not just on the web!

LOL...ya think? Anyone that thinks it doesn't exist, obviously doesn't live in the area. I've been here(Blairsville) a long time and Dahlonega, Dawsonville,do have KKK members.They are not the violent type (Im told), but they get their point across. Anything in the N. Georgia mtns. is going to be very redneck and very racist. Don't like it? I guess don't move here...?

I've lived in Dahlonega for over 20 years. It can be racist. People are pretty set in their ways around here. However, if you work hard,speak English, and mind your own business, most people won't bother you.

Wow! I don't want to go to Wyoming and count the non-whites. Hard to believe that no one spoke up about the racism expressed by mtlogger. I tend to think everyone should let everyone else believe whatever they choose, but racism is not right. Also, I am a native of Georgia and discrimination is not acceptable anywhere.

Yeah, racism isn't right, but it's there...

I'm white and would prefer to live with other whites.
If I were black I would prefer to live with other blacks.
If I were asian I would prefer to live with other asains...

Do you see where this is going?

As for the lil brown ppl, there not sooo bad

People just need to stop worring so much and enjoy life........

Yes, I guess it is evident that racism is alive and well. I just thought we as Americans had come a long way. I have lived in south Georgia or Alabama small towns all my life and never heard anyone speak the way mtlogger did. I had always thought I wanted to live in the Northwest one day, but now I am not so sure.

You thought what mtlogger was racist? are you shi**ing me? Right or wrong, racism IS alive and well. Especially in North Georgia. And like 419gottaminute said, people feel comfortable living with their own. Would you want to be the only white family in a town of say, 99% Blacks? Come on! That's not being rascist. That's being real. And if I were considering moving to a new area (which is what this post was origianlly about) I would WANT to know. You may not want to talk about the kkk clan,etc, but they are around. Especially in North Ga,nc and Tn. So I guess if that makes you uncomfortable. Dont' move there. Right?
