Ryan -- LOL -- no! But you're right, of course. I suppose in my ham-handed way I meant to point out that the racism of Cobb was not as shocking as the racism exhibited today due to the nature of the two eras.

Today, racism obviously still exists but is hardly embraced in the manner it was back then.
