I don’t say this to excuse the GOP or any of its craven office holders who may not be racist but play one on tv. Just that racism is a white and largely nonpartisan disease.
*I know, but it terms of politics, it was considered a border state before 1980 or so.

What sacrifice did Bush or Sanford make?
