Carter Country was set in the fictional small town of Clinton Corners in Georgia (presumably near the part of the state from which U.S. President Jimmy Carter hailed, thus the title), and featured Victor French as police chief Roy Mobey and Kene Holliday as city-bred, college-educated, African-American Sergeant Curtis Baker.
It also featured Richard Paul as Mayor Burnside (who coined a minor catchphrase with his manic, "Handle it, Roy, handle it!", sometimes referring to his way of dodging a parking ticket fine), Harvey Vernon as officer Jasper DeWitt, and Barbara Cason as town employee Cloris Phebus. Additional comic support was provided by Texas-born actor Guich Koock who played the part of goofy deputy Harley. Vernee Watson rounded out the cast as the mayor's secretary. The plot centered around the stereotypical racism of the Deep South, and was often characterized as being an irreverent, comedic version of the movie In the Heat of the Night.
Correct. And once upon a time, the Dukes of Hazzard could drive around in a big red gas guzzler with a Confederate Battle Flag on the roof named the General Lee and nobody thought they were racists. We no longer live in that time and have to deal with the time we do live in. The stereotype that conservatives are racist is harmful to the cause. If you haven't noticed, liberals use racism as a trump card just like they use religion as a trump card in abortion debates. We don't help ourselves dealing them a hand full of trump cards they can use to win every argument.
