I'm just gonna go ahead and say it:

It's easier for those people to stay xenophobic and racist than it is for them to learn how to be accepting and supportive, which is baffling because I remember there was a guy with a beard that lived a long time ago that said "Love your neighbor".

I think he was a Beatle.

MLK had a lot to say about these folk himself, I particularly find this quote from 'Letter from a Birmingham Jail' to still be one of the best on this subject:

I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.
