If southern white people hate blacks, why do they support them in sporting events [Spirituality & Religion]

Even the white trash with the Virginia infantry flags in their yards don't "hate" blacks. They simply see them as inferior and having a lower place on the social 'pecking order'. They see 'sports heroes' the same way they see a prize game cock, or pit-bull. It's pretty sick, but the 'white trash' need to have someone that they can 'look down' on, because of their low estate. The underbelly of society.
