Is in the northeastern part of Guilford County. Greensboro is the major city in that county and is pretty liberal for NC. However, once you leave the city limits you enter right-wing hell. Browns Summit was heavy KKK country up through the 80s and is one of those areas where Republicans love to gin up the hate. There are plenty of rednecks there who are happy to oblige them.

This is becoming a scary country to live in.
