Talk:Forsyth County, Georgia

message: I believe the information citing Forsyth as the wealthiest county in Georgia is now outdated. From statistics taken by the news channel WSB (which includes counties' per capita income, percent living below poverty line, and unemployment rates), Oconee County, GA is now the wealthiest. Forsyth County is still up there, but in the interests of accuracy the information stating Forsyth as the wealthiest should be updated.

replies: text: Booyabazooka - This may be true, but one anecdotal post doesn't account for much.  The racist element of the Forsyth County population (prevailing or declining) is not worthy of notation, in my opinion.  I don't think it adds anything to the article. Racism in a historical context is, of course, always noteworthy. Justinlwilson (talk) 19:49, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Forsyth Wealthiest County?

message: This quote can't be right. "The following week, January 24, approximately 20,000 civil rights activists marched from Atlanta to Cumming." 
No way! First of all, I was there, there is no frelling way we marched from Atlanta to Cumming. That would have been about 30 miles on GA 400. That would not have been a protest march but an insane massive walkathon. No, the march was just a few miles (maybe two or three?) from a staging area to the Town Square. 
I'd change it myself, but that'd be original research, wouldn't it? 68.219.72.114 03:04, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: March NOT from Atlanta to Cumming

message: I was one of the 20,000 civil rights marchers that day, and I'm here to tell you that those of us of a distinctly European hue were a significant minority among the 20,000 that day. There is no way whites were 2/3 of the crowd. Alluding to unnamed and uncited eyewitnesses is not any better than me as a primary source, but we ought to be able to successfully dispute this notion.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sanba38 (talk • contribs) 07:22, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Vast majority of civil rights marchers were black

message: The way the county's name is pronounced is the same way it's written. The "y" sounds like an "I." It is not pronoucned the same way the Star War's "sith" is. The "for" is pronouced the same way the english word is, an "f" sound, then "or"
It is not pronoucned fersidth. It seems that everyone else wants to pronounce it that way, but everyone who lives in the county would laugh if you called it that.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: this sentence.:
:"The 1910 census recorded 10,847 white, 658 black, and 440 mulatto (mixed-race) residents, making the number of black citizens slightly more than 5% (as classified under the binary system of the South that classified all people of any African descent as Negro or black)."
It seems that there were roughly 10,000 whites and 600 blacks + 400 mulatto = 1,000 blacks.  This would be 10%, not 5% as the article states.  What am I missing?  Carptrash (talk) 03:00, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  The state representatives  

message: Someone has gone into this page (and the page about the marches) and been very clear to point out that "thousands of marchers on both sides came from outside the area."
This is both-sidesism taken to a logical extreme: of course the Black protestors came from outside the area, they would be chased out of town if they tried to live in the county. It adds nothing to the article and makes it seem like the white protestors also were outside rabble rousers, when there's no such reporting of this in contemporaneous reports. There certainly were outsiders in the protests, but this shouldn't be reported as fact.
I'm pulling this out; if someone wants to find some citations about this and add it back, go for it, but I'm not sure they exist.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ofsevit (talk • contribs) 17:09, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
