You are so very right. That same guy and some of his friends jumped me a couple of days later and, as they say in the south, "gave me a good ass whippin". My crime? I had dared to have a conversation with a black person. "We don't allow not yankee ba_ _ _ _ _ _ takling to our n _ _ _ _ _ s"
It was a rough first few years..... a combination of moving from a metro area to a rural small town with the extremem difference in life style and attitudes....and leaving friends of 15 years.... but I found out that everyone in Ga is not a racist and that with any place you live you have to take the good with the bad.
