There are many folk in the USA who are hugely patriotic, and yet who feel that the US black population is to be despised as second class humanity.

When US athletes win huge events and are, in athletics certainly, as black as they can be, how does the patriotic racist reconcile the inescapable fact that the black US citizen is damned good at athletics?
