re: #185 Bass Reeves

It was never suppressed. Maybe the Bushes managed to be fairly okay on race most of the time, the Republican party as an entity has never sought to suppress their racism, misogyny, or homophobia. It’s the only reason they have had power for the last 20 years.

I agree and disagree. I think some of the more ugly racism was suppressed. However, I do agree about the homophobia given Bush cynically used opposition to same sex marriage to ensure his re-election.
