Those who think that the Republican Party is white racist are ignorant. The Republican Party, under the first Republican president, Abraham Lincoln, ended slavery and got the 13th, 14th, and 15 Amendments to the Constitutions passed. It always supported civil rights. It was the southern Democrats who supported racial segregation. President Eisenhower sent in federal troops into Little Rock, Arkansas, to support racial desegregation of the schools, and he appointed Ralph Bunche, a Negro, as U.S. Ambassador to the U.N.
