What is this that I am hearing that AAs families should not reside further than Kennesaw because of the possible racism?" A family in Woodstock had a burning cross in their yard recently?"Can someone enlighten me and give me some insight because I have my eye on either the Alpharetta, Roswell, or the Cummings area. I work in the healthcare industry and can easily find a job up North. Schools are a top priority and I would prefer a gated community...any suggestions? 450k tops on the pricing for housing. A nice friendly community would fit us best.

If you are for real, don't listen to that mess. The Atlanta suburbs haven't been 'segregated' for some time now.

I'm a retired KKK member. We are everywhere in the metro area. We are having a march this weekend near West End Mall. Stop by and join us. I hate everything that is black. I hate my keyboard because it is black. I hate my black cell phone. I hate putting oil in my car because it is black. I put food coloring in the oil just to change it to another color. I hate looking at the sky at night because it is black. I painted my tires white because I was sick of seeing my black tires. I hate roaches because they are black. I spray my roach spray on black roaches 10x longer than when I spray water bugs. During the winter when I go hunting, I shoot all the black bears and I play with the white bears.

Wow, that's surprising. But it seems to be a rather isolated incident, so I'm not really surprised as it could have happened almost anywhere. I'm Black and used to live in Canton, just north of Woodstock, and never had any kind of problems at all.

You don't really have to worry about this in Alpharetta or Roswell. Cumming has a pretty shaky past when it comes to race relations; although there hasn't been any recent incidents, people still remember "way back when." But if you're really talking about southern Forsyth County, which isn't Cumming proper but probably has a Cumming address, then you should be fine since a good bit of that part of the county is just the northern extension of Roswell and Alpharetta.

The article did not even mention race. No offense but Kenny Louis does not sound like a black mans name.
