What is racial inclusion, and how do we achieve it?

Republicans are racist. They’re uncaring about the poor and they’re greedy. If you read enough blogs, email forwards and biased news reports it’s easy to come away with this perception about the Grand Old Party of Abe Lincoln. But the rule of thumb is to be careful about generalizations.


Racism and prejudice flourish whenever we lump all people of a certain race, religion, or political bent under one banner. There are variations in every arena. It’s just that sometimes the worst element of a demographic often speaks for the whole.
