You’re an idiot.. Whiteboy was never used as a racist term by blacks who then hung, beat and killed white men..

to the comment about portraying white people as hill billys, that is not true because the daughter is the educated “white” person so they dont portray all white people as hill billys, the daughter is the medium in the episode. this episode was based for the southern racist folks. If they got a black person that had stereotypes about whites and vise versa it would just be fighting and arguments. This show was very well put together.

Personally I know David Turner and he is a great man! Yeah this show made Dawsonville and the Turner family look like dumb rednecks but we’re really not! The thing with him going to jail was a bunch of bull! He got falsely accused of the whole thing! And I personally know that cause I was there when the man came and asked David if he could use his wrecker and park some trailers there ( which were stolen ) David had no clue they were stolen! So before you go accusing people and trying to make them look bad, why don’t you get your facts straight buddy!!

I just moved from Dawsonville after living there over 5 years. Truth be told, the area is something like 97% white and there are a lot of old timers who proably would like to keep it that way. But times are changing. There are plenty of residents, many Atlanta commuters, who aren’t like that at all. A black family moved in across the street from me and no one in the neighborhood freaked out. Our kids were all playing together from day one.

I had to laugh at the distorted image of Dawsonville. It is not in the sticks. The pictured area is about 5 miles from the highway with every imaginable store, chain restaurants and outlet mall. Being just 50 miles north of Atlanta, I’m sure that David has been there a few times and seen plenty of big buildings, traffic and African Americans in his lifetime.

I had to laugh at the scene of Chuck coming off the bus and everyone is starring at him. Perhaps they were surprised at seeing a camera crew and not a black man in Dawsonville.

Aren’t people of Dawsonville a little bit embarrassed by this show? It that Hollywood version of the South.

I am a white female that has lived in Dawsonville, Ga all of my life. I have wonderful parents and grandparents. We were never raised to be racial, we were raised that there are good and bad people. Like David, I was never around a black person until I went to college. I was always sad to hear comments about Dawsonville and those who were afraid to come here for fear of being harmed. I think we all need to move forward. I now have some very close friends that are black, one I refer to as my sister. God created us all, yellow, black and white, we are all precious in his sight.
