I’m a Black guy who lived in Forsyth county from 2016-2022 and I still own my home there. I know it’s very red and I know all about it’s history (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rSqMiqZsCiY). While none of my family including my 6 foot 3 very big step son has had any hint of overt racism, when I walked into the school, they automatically knew who I was there to pick up. His friendship circle is like the rainbow coalition and he has often been the “guess who is coming to dinner” guy and hasn’t had any issues with parents.
On a side note, one of my sons best friends (a white guy) did help me prank the school administrator in high school when I went to pick my son up and they assumed my (step) son was my son because “he looks just like me” and I said I “didn’t know who that guy was (my son)” and his friend overheard the conversation and ran up to me and said “Dad!”
But back on topic as long as you stay out of the inner part of Forsyth (Cumming) you will find a lot of northern expats and professionals moving to Forsyth and while it’s still conservative, it’s more of a Bush/Romney “conservative” than what is the Republican Party today.
I haven’t seen any MAGA signs, any mention of the culture wars, and none of the “we see a strange Black man breaking into a house by using a garage door opener and driving in”.
