This recent willingness to deal with the nation's difficult racial history has come about in part because of President Obama's election... "The Republican Party needed to do it... It would have shed that racist scab on the party."
The Republican party was founded as the anti-slavery party, in opposition to the pro-slavery Democratic party.
The Republican party came to power with their first presidential candidate, Abraham Lincoln, who presided over the civil war, believing that slavery was not acceptable.
The Republicans don't need to apologize for slavery - they were the party that overturned it.
The claims that the Republican party has a racist past is merely deceptive political propaganda from the party that was the pro-slavery.
