Why do people keep trying to get Republicans to "pretend" to be sorry for racist comments? They are who they are.
This is a party based in the "home" of American slavery, the deep south, who were forced to give up their vile practice. Since then, they have lynched blacks, segregated and passed every unconstituitional law they could to harm these people. In the 60's, they left the Democratic party and became the bulk of the 90% of the Republican party that's white.
On the other hand, why don't Republicans just "come out of the closet" and tell America exactly what they think about African Americans? I think a little honesty is less confusing.
