Forsyth is okay as long as you’re not a minority who dares venture into the older parts of Forsyth and stay in the newer parts.

These folks aren’t all dead.

Source: I lived there from 2016 until last year and I still have a house there.

I moved out of state late last year.

I do love the burbs of Forsyth county though.

You’re getting downvoted but this is a real thing: for instance, in Belfast, almost everybody is white, so if you’re not white, you’re probably gonna feel a little bit uncomfortable in some places. Just like if you’re white and you go live in the suburbs in Abu Dhabi maybe you’re gonna feel a little bit uncomfortable because you know you’re not part of the dominant race. This is just the unfortunate reality of humans as we are stupidly tribal and racist inherently.

It’s not just about race though.

People moving into Forsyth over the last decade are transplants from up north and other parts of Atlanta are part of the “professional class” as the population has grown. They are the “college educated white suburban” group that have completely different attitudes than the people who have been in Forsyth forever.
