13. For racists their "Freedom" is under attack if Blacks are called "Equal"

In their opinion blacks are sub human so they feel the only way for the two races to become equal is white people have to be lowered to their level. It's one of those, "Are you saying I'm no better than a (fill in the blank)?" To them, since blacks were slaves than "equal" means whites lose freedom and they will NOT accept that without a fight.
