- Forsyth Georgia became a whites-only sundown county in 1912. It remained that way for over 70 years. Today, it's one of the wealthiest counties in America.

Committing horrific crimes while calling others criminals is evil.
If they’re interested in real justice, give the descendants their family’s land back. Give, not sell, give, as it was taken wholly by illegal means.
Mike Carter so, they would have to go back to the motherland ?
Unknown Unknown I’m from Philly. You’ll never hear me say anything different.
But, then again I wasn’t stolen a sold by my own people either.
Matter of fact, any slaves alive today ?
Any slave owners ?
Weren’t Italians oppressed too ?
Oh that’s right, we got over it.
Weren’t Jews oppressed ? Seems like they got over it too !
Weren’t the Irish oppressed ?
Even more recently weren’t Asians put into camps during world war 2 ?
Seems like they got over it as well.
The only people that haven’t are the people that have been here the longest !
Stfu, put your boots on, and go tf to work ! Stop bitching.
Agreed.
Are the descendants of Union Dead entitled time all those reparations? Or did those families benefit from losing their sons and fathers?
Concur
When people of a certain persuasion say "Make America Great Again," this is what they are talking about.
It has nothing to do with that. If Trump is a racist he’s the worst one on the planet wake up
Luke Caldwell You are so brainwashed by the media is unbelievable
@@stevedowney4056 Actually, he's doing an okay job being a racist. Losing a lawsuit for discriminating against African Americans on housing applications at his properties, taking out a full page ad against the Central Park 5 and vilifying them publicly even after they were exonerated, using Pocahontas as a pejorative, calling Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals, calling African countries, "shithole countries" and in the next breath wondering why the US couldn't have more immigrants from Norway, propping up the birtherism lie to make President Obama seem "other", urging Dan Snyder not to change the racially offensive name of the Washington Football Team, urging his Postmaster general to remove mail boxes in urban neighborhoods to make mail in voting more difficult, telling members of the Squad to go back to their own countries, being quoted as saying he didn't want black employees in his casinos counting his money, having to be cajoled into denouncing David Duke's support of his presidential run, touting good people on both sides in Charlottesville, shrinking Bears Ears, regarding an inner city neighborhood in Chicago, "only the blacks could live this way", spreading misinformation about why football players were kneeling during the national anthem, having the least diverse cabinet in modern history I could go on but I think that so many Trump supporters are thinking of racism in antiquated terms. They think that racism has to be wearing a white hood and using the n-word. The fact is racism shows up in many different ways, sometimes overtly and sometimes subtle and nuanced. It should be called out wherever and however it shows up. To not do so is to provide tacit support for it in all of its forms. Further, Trump wasn't elected president of conservative white people or red states, he was elected president of the United States and has an obligation to protect the rights of all as laid out in the Constitution. He is morally bound to work to leave things better than he found them. In the case of race relations, that's just not happening.
You posted this comment two years ago. Do you still believe what your wrote? Do you still think Bribeme is a good guy? How do you like our economy and high crime rates? Has this economy effected your retirement?
I'm curious also. Still think Trump is the second coming?
His family moved there because it was cheap. Stolen products are always cheap
💯💯💯💯
Its sad that this video is the reality i hope you all do fine
Say that again 👏👏👏
Yes, his answer was disingenuous at best. Also, I'm sure hsi family was more than fine with the racism and liked that it was all white.
My sincere condolences to all the family and friends who lost their ancestors in such horrific unjust ways. R. I. P ☮️
None of those good Christians compelled to give that land back huh 😆 🤣
I'm Black, Indigenous and in my 50s. I have a Black relative who was lynched in Louisiana during jim crow for trying to organize other Black folks to vote. He was hanged and his body was mutilated. My family never got justice. This program is the kind of true history that Trump doesn't want taught in schools. We ALL need to understand where we've come from and help work together to acknowledge the truth and HEAL if we ever hope to move forward. There are so many buried stories and hidden history. It's beyond vital to shine light on them. People deserve healing, validation and justice. And for all trolls who might be lurking in the comments, I refuse to hear your hate and ignorance. I've muted all comments from this video. There is far too much hate on YT and I'm exhausted.
Learn you history if you can find the truth. Do you know who formed the KKK and what it was created for? Do you know LBJ had to rely on Republicans to get the votes to repeal the Jim Crow laws? And when it was repealed LBJ said “If they are going to vote they might as well vote for us. The Democrats always lie and cheat.
BoweryDoll so healing is, reparations right ?
Luke Caldwell man, stfu with the white supremacy bs !
This man has denounced white supremacy from the beginning.
From Charlottesville ( apparently you’re too lazy to listen to the entire video or you’re a liberal reporter and facts don’t count )
It’s old. It’s been old. Do some research or stfu ! What a clown.
Luke Caldwell make sure when you say the bullshit you kneel !
You’re a poor excuse for a human being ! What a nerd
whyputaname2 oh and one other thing.
Can you imagine complaining about a corrupt racist for four years ( proof please ) then nominating a REAL corrupt racist to replace him ? As in, Quid Pro Joe.
You do know about his history with the Klan right ? You do know he was given an award by George Wallace right ? ( he’s only the most racist politician in modern day history )
You do know who Quid Pro Joes best friend was until his death right ? A man named Robert Bryd. A ranking member in the Klan and Quid Pro Joe did the eulogy at his funeral.
You do know Quid Pro Joe is / was, all about segregation right ? Kamala touched on it during the dumbocrap debates.
If ANYONE has a confederate flag hanging up it’s Quid Pro Joe.
A simple google search will verify ALL that !
A flag gets you that pissed off but, voting for a REAL racist doesn’t ?
What an ignorant FK !
The media lies. Not Jerry Marasco.
I live in Forsyth County. I have lived here for a good nine years. The place cannot at all look any less racist. The only vestige I have seen of its past is an abandoned house along 141 with an old Chevy and a Confederate flag. To think that 35 years ago I would have been shot dead if I was where I am now is terrifying. My neighbor has been here for 60 years, and he's witnessed pretty much everything the county has been through. The stories he tells ... the worst nightmares ever known to humanity.
Who cares
They gotta pay for the sins of their forefathers!!!!
INDEED🖕
They will💅🏾💅🏾
Prepare slaughter for their children for the inequities of their fathers
No, they don't actually
The decedent's should sue the city.
Yes. Just like the Tulsa descendants & survivors are doing now!!
Yes because they are still benefiting from that!

I'll never forget the episode, when Oprah had Forsyth residents on the show.
Yo ! That was them ??? I remember an episode with hella racist
And I live there. The fact that I would likely be shot dead if I stood where I stand now only 30 years ago is terrifying.
Worked at steak n shake back in the day and they asked us to go there to cover a shift.....needless to say we didn't cover the shift.....this was back in 98...
Wow just 1998. That was so recent. Glad you didn't go
I just came from my family home for a remembrance it Alabama service. I was astounded by the SEPARATION that we noticed. We are from the “upper” South and not used to the stark differences.
Imagine working hard, buying land for you and your kids to build some generational wealth and have it taken away, and and have to start all over again. Then one generation later, of course you are behind. But it's your fault. "Pull yourself up by the bootstraps"
That's fucked up.
Democrats are doing the exact same thing today. Just now, they manipulate the economy and force you to pay for it thru your taxes. Democrats are good a legislating laws to manipulate the masses. Along with taking over the Teacher's Union's and colluding with the Communist's at the UN.
@@earlofmar7987You are funny as hell always demonizing Democrats when Republicans are just as evil.
That is how America got rich!!!
70 YEAR'S!!!! Disgusting!
How is it disgusting? You're not obligated to be around a specific race. Why would you force yourself upon someone else and make them more uncomfortable? let alone make yourself uncomfortable by putting yourself in a position that will consistently be disliked? I don't care what race it is or what religion you believe in and this is just the way I believe as a black woman if someone doesn't like me I leave them alone I'm not going to force myself upon them keep on moving this is not even a topic it's a waste of time

@Hi Hello Amen 👍🇺🇲
@@realblacksknowthetruth1519 Exactly and black families were more intact when we were segregated. I would have preferred separate but equal.
But they don't have the carjacking that other cities do.
Well done. This needs to be remembered.
Correction..... needs to be reminded.... sun down towns aren't a thing of the past, is the present... the only thing that have changed is that the signs have been removed, and in some areas the sings still up... like in west Virginia
Yeah say that "way back then" until it happens to you in 2021.... still happening and the sun down towns still as they were back then, don't let the tranquility fool you...

These series are the reason why black people need to hold their vote until they do right by us. The Black Authority keeps broadcasting this, but it seems my people are so drunk following these celebrities, the important messages being drowned by the bs. Stay Woke!
I like this idea
Or get your butts up and get involved to push for change starting at local level…
Not voting is voting … laws are what made slavery legal or not. Jim Crow was laws that were voted on. Either way a president will be chosen and the laws that come afterwards have consequences - stay smart
when the girl said wiped out and the lady said abandoned ..... i felt triggered.
Same sis !
I did too.
That part!
Same
Right because it wasn’t abandoned it was straight illegally stolen. Is it wrong when I watch videos like this that deep down I hope that there is a hell and that each one of those people that did, participated or “picnicked” as was mentioned at a lynching is receiving their just reward. It irks me that no justice ever happened and they all just got away with it. For us to talk about the evil they did and it’s like oh well yep that’s American hx.
They don't want CRT taught hahahaha...lmao. They don't want their kids knowing truth. 😅🤣😂
This is where Marjorie Taylor grew up. She was a high school student during the marches in the late 80s
Explains a lot!
Still ........ Nothing Changes but The WEATHER. !!! 😳
Love learning more about this...
Yeap... white people calls it "our past" but in reality is their present...those towns haven't change and never will.
I believe it’s still going on in certain parts of the nation
But we killing each other..🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
This guy said “ it feels like it’s legal lynching
We need to stop investing in anything in this country period, because we dont need to theres too many of us, WE STOP ALL THIS SHUTNS DOWN, YOU THINK A PANDEMIC IS BAD.....hell this place only considers us a fraction of a human anyway, THIS PLACE WIIIIILLLLL NEEEEEVER CHANGE, NEVER!
This VIRUS kills more of us, so to act as if the VIRUS isn't a big deal is only gonna hurt us and our Community
This is OUR country. White people just stole OUR lands and ran us away!!!! They do the same things in other Indigenous lands such as Africa, Australia, etc.
The rot in this country is deep. The state must give descendants equal value of land back- - or pay them the value of the land. Reparations have to happen. How do we ever force justice? We havent made the necessary changes and it’s agony.
The descendants of Union dead getting reparations? Oh, I see...
@@marcuslaker5876 you talking about people that fought against America
@@superkhalil100 The union fought the confederacy. Definitely not enemies of America
No they don’t need to happen. People who weren’t slaves shouldn’t be entitled to money from people who didn’t own slaves. With how much welfare money African Americans have been taking they’ve already gotten their compensation
@@alexalbrecht5768
...so are you saying that the Majority of People who get Welfare are Black Americans?
Do you have any idea just how DVMB that statement is?
...also they want Money, they want their Land that they are owed. This Country owes Black American's for what happened here, Greenwood, Tulsa, and other Cities across the Country that we still don't know about. Because White's continue to try and hide their shame...
Can we talk about reparations or is it still too soon?
It still exists in Forsyth County and all through out GA.
Disgusting
When I lived in Alpharetta, Georgia (my family were Northerners) we heard about "batting." Batting is when a black or brown person walks on the side of the road and a white person in the back of a pickup truck uses a bat to hit them, usually in the head. Also, we saw and experienced a lot of other racism like one famous football player's dogs being killed because he was an "uppity n-word" according to them and a baseball player's biracial (his wife was white) daughters being told that they couldn't go in the community subdivision's pool because they alleged these two girl's bathing suits were inappropriate (they were 7 and 5, if you were looking at them that way then I think you have the problem!). I was often times told I couldn't attend certain events, like birthdays where the whole class was invited, because I am Black (my parents are both part black).
In 1990, four neighboring counties of northern Metro Atlanta (Cherokee, Dawson, Forsyth, Pickens) were together inhabited by 154,000 white residents and only 1,900 black residents, yet nobody in the Atlanta area hadn't the slightest inkling that they formed what was likely the only multi-county " Sundown Region" in Deep South at the time.
So what
@headshotmaster138 You can sound angry all you want, but you can't deny that everything I said is a 100% largely unknown fact which seems to be by design.
@@freddyfrug3940 but I don't care little snowflake.

Patrick Phillips ‘ book blood at the root is a must read to understand this issue.
As a Georgia Native, Forsyth is a very scary place. Its also where Tamala Horsford was unalived at a party where she was the only black person present, and her case has never been solved either.
I think these families have a very good legal case. And should be able to receive compensation.
Sounds like Deuteronomy 28 to me 🤔💭
Exactly
Which verse?
17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions. 18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people. 19 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause. 20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land. 21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it. 22 This thou hast seen, O Lord: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me. 23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord. 24 Judge me, O Lord my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me. 25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up. 26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonor that magnify themselves against me. 27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. (Psalm 35:17-27 KJVAAE)
I remember the signs in the 1980s, “N***** don’t let the sun go down on your a**”
Where can I watch the full episode if there is one
I went to the march in 1987. The crazy thing was that the majority of people causing the issues were not from Forsyth County. Bigotry was not tolerated in my home or the homes of my friends. I even had black friends come visit.
Where are the republicans that say that does not happen?
This is disgusting at it's best...
Thank you young lady,my eyes is open indeed.
But Tim Scott and Kamala Harris will say America is not a racist country.
nikki haley or kamala?
This is just disgusting 😡😡😡😡
Yes it is. Oprah did a show on Forsyth County. It is on TH-cam.
I just learned the true history about Lake Lanier Islands this year! Oscarville used to be a thriving Black town then buried!
How dispicable. It's unreal what black people have endured in the history of our nation. Just terrible.
Are you familiar with Oscarville? It’s a sob story!
Its amazing how you can do so much wrong and you still win in the end. Where is God in all of this? Seems like he rewards the unjust and those that do evil. The more evil you do, the more you prosper.
Ohhh baby it may seem like that on earth but death is for eternity . Trust me … everybody reaps what they sow rather it’s while we alive or in the afterlife
But your not reading your bible sir or madam it said inthe last days not that it is comforting to know .but it said in the last days the rich will be richer the poor will be poor . So look up my child our great king coming back soon to pay us back wich thay had stolen from whatever races we were . Hallula.

Sundown towns EXIST TODAY
My father and much of my father’s family lived together in a family community in Forsyth County, Ga., in the 1950’s and now I understand why they all built their homes so close to one another. I’m not surprised because my father told me of how the police would stop them for no reason but now I know that they built their homes close together for their own safety and security.
If there are records of the previous residents then there is a record of what businesses and land they owned. Give it back to their decedents. Buy out the businesses in current market value because there is no way to measure which business might still be in business today and give them their land back.
Forsyth is one of MANY sundown towns that is STILL thriving right now in 2022.
NOTHING has changed in over 500 years beginning with the atrocity done to my people the indigenous people of this continent.
I grew up in a sundown town, didn't really understand it at first.
Locate the remaining descendants, and give them back their land...... And paid them for their trauma...... God is watching.....
Get'em Ancestors!💥
United States? or South Africa, 1976?
I was born and raised in GA and it shocks me to find out to this day there is this kind of racism. I live around modern racists..and a modern racist is one that makes a comment behind the other race's back now and then..but that's the extent of it. We all get along when we are face to face..but the comments will always be a thing it seems...which is a shame but it seems it will always be that way. This is making GA look like what I imagine Mississippi to be...and where I live it just isn't like that.
I won't ever try to deny racism still exists here..it does no good to ignore that it does. That's like ignorning that pit bulls were bred to fight and then being shocked if your pit bull doesn't get along with your other dog and then the pit bull goes back to the shelter because of the ignorance of the person that got it. You have to give people to whole truth to fix anything.
history . pay attention .
In the movie Mississippi Burning remember what the lady says to gene Hackman your not born with bigotry hatred it's taught exodus 20 talks about what's passed down how even though some may not be racist it's passed down from their descendants
Why don't someone sue to get their land back?
No One should be able to go against someone's rights , This is why we have the Bill of Rights and The Constitution . No one should be able to go against the Bill of Rights and the Constitution .
until this day 2022 and nothing's changed, it's all in a modern day fashion and shunned over like it's normal, what a very corrupt and sad world I dwell in 💔👼🏾🙏🏽🕊🕊🕊
This is were MTGreen is from right
Reparations is a must
Everybody need to brought to justice this was not right at all

This is horrible. American history is dark and cruel.
And in now the truth is coming for All of the Ancestors of those people who did this to the Black People who lived there, there should be charges against the Racist people who are still alive I wouldn't care if they are old now .

In 2018 in Fulton County Georgia the poll station closed at 12noon. Because the new voting machines didn't work. That's it, no one can vote. Gov. Kemp has nominated the Realtors of Georgia to monitor every single polling station in the State. Kemp canceled the election in Sept. for State Supreme Court. He appointed a GOP temp for the next 2 years. Kemp also threw out 24k mail-in votes in 2018 for no reason other as the Sec. of State in charge of his own gubernatorial election. Kemp is already set all wheels in motion to stop the vote, stop the count, and call it for Trump.
