"The Republican party has been a racist party, at best, my entire life."
" heart of the Republican party has been racist for 50 years,".

The period of time between 50 years and your entire life is the 25 years of overt racism I was referring to. There's been a slow evolution for the R's to the point where white racists now feel openly comfortable there, but many Republicans are as uncomfortable with that idea as you are with Democrat George Wallace.

I have no idea if these guys are racist or not, but Sen. Shelby was a D until '94, and Trump's Ag Sec was until '98, so if they're R racists now, they were our racists 20 years ago.
