Black primary colored snake with yellow stripes?
There was a snake in my front yard (I live in College Park, Georgia) and it was no longer than 1ft and a half long. It's full body color was black and had little yellow latitudinal (horizontal) stripes going down it's body like a striped shirt or something. I'm not scared of snakes but it went into a hole in my house and I'm a little frightened because I don't know what snake it is and if it's poisonous or not.
EVERYONE! I know what snake it is. I found it shortly after I posted this question. It's an Eastern King Snake. :] Might wanna keep that bad boy lol.

Although Matthew is right in that bright colours may indicate the snake is venomous, there are also many snakes that will mimic these snakes, so other creatures will hopefully avoid them!
I did a quick google search of native snakes in Georgia and came up with this website, none of the venomous snakes seem to fit your description so I hope that makes you feel better! Have a look through the snakes as you'll be able to identify it better: http://www.uga.edu/srelherp/snakes/index.htm.
Hope this helps!

Well typically in nature, when an animal has bright markings then chances are it could be poisonous. Check out a site with snakes that are normal inhabitant to your area to see if you can identify it.
