And that might hold some weight. I imagine if African Americans were a reliable republican vote the maps would be much different and redrawn to cancel the working class blue collar suburbs. The AA vote can be seen as collateral damage in their quest for a permanent majority.

By the same token, republicans don't hate public schools and teachers for what they do, it's for where their union dues go.

Having said that, republicans are indeed racist now as they've ever been. Just look at Trump's cabinet, but for them it's party over everything.
