Why? Because they are "other" and you are in the minority.
I think that's the worst of "most" people I've met here.
But there are some who will blame things on blacks - because they truly believe it's the fact that they're black that is causing whatever the ills of society are. They are more bold here, because they are with "their own kind" for the most part. That ugly underside definitely exists, and it's definitely ugly. Thankfully, most folks know to keep that crap to themselves when they're in the company of others.
But you definitely hear some nasty stuff at the country club bar from time to time.
