Maybe I'm being extra sensitive but it just makes me sick to see things like that and I may be reading too much into this but I wonder if they even like black people in general.

I assume they have not been around a lot of other black people in their lifetime, and the few they've been around were negative. A lack of POSITIVE black role models and environment can fuel attitudes like theirs.
Just as we have been discussing, it is a popular thought that ghetto=black...not just with white people. Sadly there are LOTS of black people who think that too. If you have not been exposed to other black people who have their stuff together, it isn't uncommon not wanting to be associated.
