It's not always a Democrat/Republican thing. Republicans are evil, vile, and sneaky people who believe in racial superiority and intolerance. They will go through extreme lengths to conceal this (ie. Herman Cain, Condoleezza Rice, flip flopping on positions). But they always manage to have a slip of the tongue and their true colors will be exposed. Republicans will play the race card in very discreet and coded ways. Therefore, you have to listen very careful to what they say or you will not understand
