The Republicans have been with the rural racist faction, though you have been more with your 'I have it backwards' redefinition of racism. Still, the Classic Acirema is not mainline Republican. Sorta related, but with a different idea of what racism is. I would acquit you of fighting for slavery. Thankfully, that is not your thing.
I am sort of against calling groups by another name especially from another time. I can tell Stalin from FDR, Hitler from Ike. I am most put out by people who pretend they can't. A crisis generally resolves a problem it is centered on. Slavery is long gone. Racism is not. That seems to be a crisis issue this time around.
What's not racism these days? Racism has been blown out of proportion and misconstrued lately. Is not liking a racist black person racist these days? Is confronting a black jerk or some black asshole racist too? Is calling a black person a bad name racist too? You better start sorting out the differences between normal human behavior related to different personalities or behavior and racism or you're going to have another big mess to go along with the other big messes that are on your plate to solve these days.
