>but actively hated, discriminated against, and oppressed.

Have you ever spoken to a Republican? For a group that 'actively hates' black people, don't you think its a little strange this man led the RNC [1]?

You've found one lone minority amongst the GOP. For every minority you find, you'll find 100 of these GOP types like Representative King, a prominent Iowa Republican http://edition.cnn.com/2017/03/13/politics/steve-king-babies...

And how does this statement in your article fit into your world view?

>House Speaker Paul Ryan, also a Republican, "clearly disagrees" with King's comments, a spokeswoman told reporters.

Paul Ryan is hardly a fringe in the Republican Party, he's the speaker of the house.

You're going to need some actual stats showing 100:1 is the ratio of racists to non-racists. Anything else is conjecture.

Republicans have got "My best friend is X, I can't be X-ist" on lock.

No, that's not even what this is. It's "I am republican and I am X, you better have a good reason to think I'm X-ist."
