Ask a democrat today, and they will tell you that slavery is wrong, bad, and evil.

Ask a Republican, it appears that 70% may well say it's ok and desirable.

So, the party labels are just coincidental.  And, what is important is what certain people are doing NOW.  NOW, it is Trump, the GOP and their respective bases that are acting in racist fashion.

Healthcare models?  Tax structures?  Immigration and Naturalization?  Public pronouncements?  All those coming from Trump and the GOP have racist under AND OVER tones.

But, your points have relevance, to the extent they demonstrate the extent to which the Democratic Party as EVOLVED, and the GOP has DEVOLVED.

Oooops.  Sorry, don't want to impose evolution concepts upon  you guys.  I know it makes your heads exploed.  Let's see.  Let me put it in terms that will make sense to you. . .  God made the GOP evil. . . maybe to test the will of man. . . .
