But like I've said, racism knows no party.
Here's another recent example, in another slave state. This time involving a republican running for governor in Mississippi :
Mississippi Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves took part in Confederate frat parties
While he was in Kappa Alpha at the private Millsaps College in Jackson, some in the fraternity were disciplined for wearing afro wigs and Confederate battle flags and shouting racial slurs at black students in October 1994.

This one is undeniably racist.
I'm not presenting this to attack all republicans. I'm only presenting it to show that racism exists in both parties, mostly in former slave states. The first paragraph in the article even states this :
"a common practice among chapters in the South at the time." |
Yes, this is true. However, I think another thing that doesn't know party is that teenagers do stupid things.
Now if you could demonstrate that a person has acted with extreme racial bias in their career that would be a compelling reason for me to have them fired, impeached, resign, etc.
I think that most people realize this, even democrats, but their treatment of Kavanaugh versus the Democrats who are currently being shamed is evidence not of "higher moral sensibilities" but of simply politically motivated hypocrisy.
Democrats are supposed to be the party of the people and they tell you what the common man wants to hear. But when they are in power they have a hundred excuses for why they are powerless to do anything. Republicans are the party of the businessmen. So, they are portrayed as fat cats. But the truth is they are both the party of business, that is who pays for them to get elected. So the Republican party is less hypocritical and appears to have more of a spine because they actually intend to do what they promise.
