The father was a well known racist and he said that if he ever caught her with a black guy he'd kill them both. Not exactly uncommon in Georgia, but not really common either, and for what it's worth I'm a white guy.

Many saw the case as racially motivated, especially when it was alleged by Dixon's partisans that Brown had claimed her father "would kill them both" if he found out because he was a racist. The President of the Children's Defense Fund, Marian Wright Edelman called it a "Legal Lynching". Also, the location of the incident, Georgia, spurred on the thoughts of racist bigotry.[4]
