Using subtle words to appeal to racists has been the main strategy of the Republican party for forty years now.

Southern Strategy: Still going strong 44 years later.

What is subtle about saying that black children should be cleaning toilets instead of going to school?

Not to mention his thesis was about how the Congolese should be grateful about Dutch colonialism.

Somehow he thinks British colonialism in America was a travesty wheras European colonialism in Africa was charity.

Total racist, no if ands or buts.

Not too familiar with Gingrich's views here, but the colonial experience and effects in Congo versus the US are very different.

Gingrich's dissertation is basically one long panegyric on the Belgian educational system in Congo, which famously left the nation with only a handful of university graduates at independence. Teh consequences weren't too pretty.
