Owned it...until it no longer did. Once a Democrat President and the Northern Democrats brought us the Civil Rights Act, Southern Con-servatives gave up party and stuck to their racist roots.....switching to the Republicans, especially on the Federal election level.Unlike the Democratic Party which has a long history of bigotry and racism dating back to before the Civil War. Slavery, then KKK, Jim Crow, and other varieties of institutionalized racism. You have no room to talk about racism, your party owns it."These are the kind of zenophobic, batshit crazy people who are being attracted to Donald Trump. They are also known as the "base" of the Republican Party."
They're also the racists and bigots attracted to the GOP.
Most republicans aren't racists or bigots, nor does the party condone either – but the GOP in fact has a problem with racists and bigots among its ranks, and trying to ignore that problem will only allow it to get worse.
