An Indiana man who was shot while flying a Confederate flag in a predominantly black South Bend neighborhood is not a racist, his friend wants the world to know.
The South Bend Tribunes Erin Blasko reports that Cally Baker, a friend of the victim, insisted that Ive never known him to use any racial slurs.
Unless someone provoked him, she added, I cant imagine him just blurting out the N-word ...

He didn't "hate" blacks either, he just thought lower of blacks because that's all he knew
