Initially, it was the Democrats. Lincoln was credited for freeing the slaves, and he was a Republican. The Ku Klux Klan, the most well-known hate group, was started by Democrats. But then the US political landscape drastically changed. The American Communist Party disbanded. When they did, they infiltrated the Democratic Party. Then the Conservatives of the Democratic Party changed parties. So now it is the Republicans who get accused of racism the most.
