My liberal friends, many of whom have never actually seen much less talked to a black person, would most assuredly be condescendingly over-nice to them.
It is exactly the same in my Upper South small town. I have never seen any racial animosity by anyone of either race to someone of the other. And I have never heard a local Black person spew pseudo-Marxist/postmodern nonsense.
Unfortunately, the fact remains that these "good people" are the ones who vote for the nihilists and keep them in power. They evidently feel no kinship with their "co-religionists" or have the slightest concern that their political friends ridicule religious beliefs most of them hold as well. They can't be so idiotic as to be unaware of abortion, homosexuality, etc. Yet to them it's always 1860. Does not compute.
Like the Russian Orthodox Church in Soviet Ukraine which Ukrainian Catholics were forced to join, the Black churches have profited by the persecution of their "co-religionists."

Seriously, this is how Leftists conflate conservatism, racism and intellect. There is no assumption of equality.
Ive seen it, they talk down to anyone they deem not on their level.
I'd consider it demeaning.
The only ones who would think it would be endearing are the liberals who are so full of themselves that theycan't see how other people function or react.
Liberals work from the presumption of stereotypes and work hard to convince everyone who not prejudiced they are.
Which really shows they are or they wouldn’t be trying so hard to prove something.
To us conservatives, we value the person who who they are, not what skin color they have.
My take on your comment is this;
Growing up poor and whit in the south myself, I know for a fact(at least in the area I grew up in) there are a lot more poor whites than the total number of blacks.
And despite the differences in race, we share a lot of the same culture.
Also, speaking from experience as relating to encounters with law enforcement, being white and “visibly” poor in the south gets you almost the same treatment.
Any white person who grew up poor in the south will more often than not will say the same.
Liberals have to relate to people as members of stereotypical “groups.” It’s because they cannot deal with people as unique individuals, nor do they think of them that way. Hillary is far and away the absolutely classic example of this.
Yep - conservatives treat people as equals until they prove otherwise...no matter the race, etc.,. On the other hand, Libs treat them like stupid pets who have no understanding of how nice the Libs are making it for them...
