Okay, let me just get this out there. The US Republican Party is racist. The dialogues being witnessed within the Republican Party is not new. It is standard dialogue. 

The outsiders always are disgusted and nauseated at every word. That is the way it is. Amazingly, Republicans manage to be elected to the federal government. Is there something wrong with that picture? Well, racism got George H. W. Bush elected. Of course the Republicans refuse that fact. They state Willy Horton was an example that happened to be black. Was it necessary to show Willy Horton's face? Or would it have been better to display a graph about the incarceration program? 

The racism is different in tone depending on the purpose. Elections harness racism linked with fear. Willy Horton killed people. Radical Islamist Terrorists are killing people. President Obama (an African American) is intimidated by Radical Islamist Terrorists and won't even use the words. Words make the man. Candidates have to say the words otherwise they aren't worthy of the honor of the votes of those that will elect them.

The legislative tone of racism revolves around laziness and dependency. It doesn't matter the kind of dependency; unemployment, food stamps, Medicaid that is now saving lives except in states where Medicaid is not employed to save people's lives; what am I missing? Whatever, there are several types of medical insurance for children and the like, those are viewed as dependency issues. See, Republicans like Health Care Savings Accounts and everyone else should, too. 

The racism is diluted by some minority members. Those minority members are few and far between. 

Racism is real in the USA. The Supreme Court with a conservative majority devastated the Voting Rights Act.

Rachel Maddow had a segment about the hideously long lines in Arizona to vote in their primaries. That is a strategy. These are all a part of the USA reality.

Look at Flint, Michigan. It was primarily a minority community. All the emergency managers were assinged to minority communities. All the emergency managers were minority except for one. The one that wasn't a minority person was a former mayor of Flint. But, Snyder chose minority emergency managers so the communities could not complain it was racist.
