I know people who are openly racist, and yet when they are dealing with someone they've gotten to know who happens to be black they treat them with genuine affection. Seems contradictory but somehow they separate their prejudices for a group from a known individual. Maybe as Obama becomes more familiar they are starting to think he's not a real ****** but more like that nice black guy who owns the pharmacy and they see at the Rotary every week.
That is the paradox of much of the South.
