When I was an intern in DC back in 2004, I talked to this black man at institute who used to lobby for civil rights in 70s. He said it was easier to work with conservatives. They'll tell you "no way" initially, but later they open up, and out of Southern honor they deliver.
With liberal politicians on the other hand, they make you all these promises, and after they can't deliver, they make up some excuse like, "I tried to work it into the language, but couldn't..."

I've heard things like this as well. While racism is ugly, I'm sure minorities would rather know up front about it, rather than learn afterward.
