God, I hate my state.  Georgia sucks so much yall have no clue.  Well the main reason I hate it so much is that good skiing is 24 hours away and there are only 2 other skiers here.
You will see blatant racism random places all over the south, but you will see a lot of it in small towns and stuff.  My parents said they saw a klansman walking down the street by my house in his hood and shit in the early 80's.  Stone Mountain, know pretty much just a tourist place with a tram to the top(which would make for sick skiing if we got more than a foot of snow), used to have kkk meetings all the time where they would burn crosses at the top and shit(that was a long time ago though).
But atlanta isn't bad.  Pretty much eveyone here has moved here from somehwere else, so the city is really civilized and it doesn't have much racism.
