The Republican party was the party that Lincoln was in, and Lincoln did sing the emancipation proclamation.

FEW! You mean almost all!!
Actually Lincoln was a Whig and was in Congress as a Whig! He was elected as a Republican, which are now the Democrats!

Both Parties have racist in them. Yes, I, and most rebuke them. Racism is simply ignorance and fear, combined with insecurity. But do you realize that Jesse Jackson is as bad a racist as David Duke, Robert Byrd, etc..etc.. I am tired of people discussing racism as if Whites are the only ones. There are racist's in every color, creed, nationality and religion.

No. Its better if Republicans can be equal opportunity exploiters of All disadvantaged people here and abroad. Its about the accumulation of wealth and power at the expense of others.
