Living in the south my entire life, I've never encountered anyone remotely as hateful or vitriolic of someone based on unchangable circumstances of life (such as region of birth or skin color).
You really should step outside your box sometime. Racism isn't nearly as prevalent in the south as you'd like to think. I dare say it will be gone within twenty years, as the generation coming up reaches maturity and everyone pre-Boomer is dead. Sure, a bunch of old folks and a few hicks hate the black man. Your little video just showed a half dozen hicks in a small town, most of whom were elderly or approaching it.
I'd love to see the unedited footage from that. You know, the dozens of people who answered in a straightforward manner that either they favored the policies of McCain/Hillary over Obama (he's the most liberal of the three, McCain and Hillary both try hard to seem centrist), or that they would in fact support Obama. But it's harder to support the DailyKos agenda of persecution by not editing them out and leaving in the snaggle-toothed Appalachia minority.
