Yeah, Gopher is right.

On the Other Hand: this idea/allegation/whatever that the Republican Party represents something like the cause and origin of racism in America and indeed elsewhere in the world smacks of childish stupidity and the worst form of simpletonism we see on this messageboard.

But diehard partisans will remain diehard partisans, I imagine. Unfortunate that we must all have to share the same planet.

"The perpetuation." The decisive element in its continuance, then.

So without the Republicans, racism would not plague America or other societies around the planet?

I simply do not understand your point of view here, you and those who apparently agree with this faulting the American Republican Party for all of this. Neither do I see what it is that you hope to realistically accomplish. Do you hope to ostracize and then exclude the Republicans from American society and politics so that only those who stand with the Democrats remain? When you craft such simplistic allegations and then hurl them at the other side, apparently hoping to shame/force them to modify their behavior so that they may now act in ways in which you might morally approve, do you expect them to see you through friendly eyes afterward?

In 1876 there was a contested election. In the end, after much negotiation and horse-trading, the Republican Party sold out the former slaves they'd worked and struggled so hard to free and condemned them to a century of Jim Crow in return for a continued hold on the White House. The 20th Century did not see all that much change in the Republicans' practices.
