The racist that I've come across here seem to be the nonviolent kind.

I read an article about 5 years ago that talked about how the kkk membership had fallen over the decades. I vaguely remember the statistics given. At it's peak the article said 90% of white American was racist and spoke openly about it and over the decades this had dropped to 5%.

I have no facts to provide or care to do any research for you as I'm sure you're familiar with Google. It's just my opinion that the violent racist are not prevalent in the villages. The type I see are secretive and use statistics and logical reasoning to justify their racism. My grandmother, father and a childhood friend were openly racist around me but became overtly nice to black people. I've seen this overly nice approach to blacks from seemingly racist whites many times and has been the topic of conversations with my black friends throughout my life.

The overly polite but secretly racist are probably the most prevalent racist here in the villages. I would only be guessing if I shared my thought that 5% of the population here are racist.

This is just my view and I don't care to debate it. Take it with a grain of salt and move on.
