1. Racist/Political

The problem isn't necessarily only that the people in the path of the storm are primarily black - it's that they're black and vote Democratic.

4. He's more stupid than evil

He is too self-absorbed to be proactively racist.

I don't consider him the hib of inter-race relations, but I have a much easier time believing that he stayed stupid than went from stupid to evil genious.

6. Its primarily racist, or class...

But either way you look at it, its racism. If you look at it from an economical view point, then why is it that the overwhelming majority of poor are black, and the majority of the wealthy are white. But of course the freeper response will be "Because blacks dont' want to work, and live off govt." Its racism either way you look at it...

7. There were multiple "payoffs". Communion with Bush's racist & crime

fearing base was just one of them.
