White guilt?
Republicans shed their blood and died to free the slaves...from the RATs.
Abraham Lincoln was a Republican. (not a democRAT)
Republicans gave blacks the right to vote.
Republicans formed the Negro College Fund.
Republicans created the NAACP.
The KKK was formed by Confederate (RAT) veterans to keep blacks from voting for Republicans.
Jim Crow laws came from the RATs.
The Klan were RATs.
The slave owners were RATs.
The segregationists were RATs.
Robert KKK Byrd was a RAT.
etc etc etc
That message.
Political correctness is just one manifestation of white guilt. The kid gloves treatment of Obama is another. Many Reps are cowed by the fear of being called a racist.
