Perhaps it escaped your attention, but racists are fucking idiots. What you call "crazy", they call "wicked smart".

White racists believe that all White people are racist. They believe many bury it under feelings of guilt. They believe most pretend not to be racist in public because they are afraid.

So where does Hillary fit? Before 2008 the White racist would have probably credited her with "Liberal guilt" making her their opponent. But "Liberal guilt" does not countenance her dog-whistling campaign in 2008.

She gave them a wink-and-a-nod. They now believe her to be one of them. They believe she is just pretending to like African-Americans for political reasons.
