If he does not like my people, I would keep that in my mind when dealing with him but I wouldn't hate him for it.

But how will you coax it from them? No one will say I'm racist in front of you.

Oh I've had quite a few people admit it. Not in those exact words, as in "Yeah, okay, I'm a racist, I confess it." These are people I've gotten to know over a period of time, though, so I've been able to steer the conversation towards race and made it obvious that I'm "okay with racism" and they basically just go along with it and it becomes clear they're pretty racist. I suppose there's a "you and I against the rest of them" aspect to it, particularly when it comes to blacks, but I'm pretty sure some of them have felt the same away about my kind but just decided it's best not to say something about it to my face.

"Hate," as in "hate him for it" is a pretty strong feeling, but wouldn't you dislike the guy at least a little bit? I tend to, even though I like to believe that I'm fine with racism. I think the ones I dislike the most are the people who only ever have negative things to say about other groups. The ones that say even very nasty things but also balance it out by saying nice things I find much more likable. My barber is like this. If I get him going he will curse the living fuck out of everyone, sometimes in a very nasty way, and I have no doubt he's said the same things about my kind when I'm not there. But he claims to hate verbal racial abuse to people's faces, so to me that makes up for it.
