Who knows? They may have a racist tendency but I think they dislike White Southerners for attitudes like this Mr. Bundy, the Duck Dynasty head honcho, Ted Nugent (and import Southerner now living in Texas) called Obama a subhuman mongrel, the south is the home of David Duke of the KKK, the south where MLK was shot dead and there are other politicians from the South with a not so clean score-sheet when it comes to making racist comments or belonging to racist groups.
Or a politician like Jesse Helms, who stated that NC university was a university of negroes and communists. A man who did his best to not have an MLK day in the US. A politician who opposed black judges from getting on the federal bench and who got struck across the knuckles by the Department of Justice for mailing 125,000 postcards to households in predominantly African-American precincts warning them (incorrectly) that they could go to jail if they had not updated their addresses on the electoral register since moving.
Ted Cruz called for a 100 more people like Jesse Helms in the senate. Great another Southern white man who is calling for more people who could very well be classified as a racist like Jesse Helms.
A group of young white males were drinking and partying in the small town of Puckett, in largely white Rankin County, Mississippi. According to a lawyer representing one (or more) of the perpetrators, they decided to go buy more beer in a location where stores were open later at night. According to law enforcement officials, Deryl Dedmon, a white man from Brandon, Mississippi, led the group, saying to his friends, "Let's go **** with some niggers." The group climbed into Dedmon's green 1998 Ford F-250 truck and a white Jeep Cherokee and drove 16 miles (26 km) west on Interstate 20 to a predominantly black area on the western edge of Jackson.
According to prosecutors, James Craig Anderson was near his truck in the parking lot at the Metro Inn in Jackson at 5 am on June 26.The two vehicles with the young whites pulled off the freeway and into the motel parking lot. They claimed they believed that Anderson was trying to steal a vehicle because they saw him trying to break into one. The vehicle was Anderson's own; he had lost his keys. The group repeatedly beat Anderson and robbed him, the district attorney said, citing reports from witnesses. Video from a motel security camera does not show any beating but shows the perpetrators entering and leaving the frame of the video. One witness reported that one of the perpetrators yelled, “white power,” when returning to his truck after the beating.
William Montgomery drove the Jeep away and Dedmon drove his pickup over Anderson, killing him. He left the scene at a high speed.
Later Dedmon boasted about beating and running Anderson over, saying, "I ran that nigger over," to the accomplices in the Jeep. Law enforcement officials said that Dedmon repeated that statement with the racial slur in subsequent conversations

Or the sign in the South that said "I do not support niggers in the white house"?
And I know it is not the majority of Southerners who think like that but they are still out there.
