The Republican party originally started out as a party which was against slavery (Abraham Lincoln was a Republican) and that is really the only main thing that Republicans have to do with racism. Claiming that the Republican Party is racist is unsubstantiated by facts (the current head of the Republican Party, Michael Steele is black). Other than their initial founding as an anti-slavery party, race has little to do with the Republican Party.
