Racism is the result of ignorance, not politics.

As the author of the article notes,

Generally speaking, Republicans are decent people, and naturally, many of my closest friends vote Republican. As with any large organization or group, there will always be people at the fringes who hold views that are not representative of the body.

An organization cannot control the behavior of each individual actor, but it can control its response to abhorrent conduct.

He is not indicting the entire Republican Party. His disappointment is with the ignorant fools and the party leadership that wqn’t stand up and kick these disgusting bigots to the curb.

Ignorance knows no political boundaries.
