Wow. That's uh, really subtle. I haven't watched it, definitely not going to now.

I remember in my small town they all claimed to be open minded and welcoming. Oh yeah we love black people! We even had one in our school of 400 students! Of course I was young and naiive, looking back, there was a ton of racism around every corner. If any black person showed up in town everyone would know about it. It wasn't "the family down the street" it was "The hispanics down the street" - or worse. It's hard realizing that just because no one is telling you that you're racist, or everyone around you says you aren't, it doesn't mean anything.

Shame on him for inciting more violence and stirring up more fear and resentment in people.
