I'm surprised, but this ran on page 5A of the Dallas Morning News.

What struck me is that the feature clearly identifies out and out racism as the cause for the utter paranoia in Bastrop and in Mr. Ellison's mind. Racism is also the root cause of the complete and total disrespect shown for President Obama.

A well done piece that lets the quotes from those interviewed tell the story.
