Has anyone known hardcore racists to be very considerate, loving, and respectful in other areas of their life? Or for the most part are the racists you've known been mean-spirited and difficult to deal with all around?

Basically, I have always known hardcore racists to be loving in other parts of their lives, but I don't want them in mine.

I think the majority of people I know with issues about ethnicity are bigots--don't really think deeply enough to consider themselves--all Caucasians--superior to other races--just like to spew like little teapots. They seem to be rather anal--keep score, hold grudges and it often seems to me that the proverb about 'Don't fixate on the speck in your brother's eye when you have a log? in your own' often applies.

I've known a few from old jobs, and they usually had a lot of personal problems. They were people I didn't really want to spend much time around.

You have to be white to be a racist?

These Black Panthers who were guarding a polling center with billy clubs and had charges against them dropped by the Obamao admin are really good people when they aren't around whites.
