Mainly because while I have lived in the north (PA) my entire life I have known enough people and talked with enough people to understand the "south" is worse than most other places.  I see similar problems in some urban areas.  I know many racists where I live.  Its much more obvious in places in the "south".

Its a cultural thing.

If you have multiple generations that never leave an area they keep the traditions and norms they were raised with.

It changes eventually I'm sure.  Locally its all about the welfare "lifers" and lazy blacks.  Meanwhile the vast majority of "lifers" are white in this area.  

No doubt about the welfare deal......but I gotta tell ya, in my 39 years, the most racist person I ever knew was from Ypsilanti Michigan, and had lived in Detroit for an extended time.
