It is not the party but who and in what context that they said it in. For example if Colin Powell said it would be taken seriously, but clarence thomas said it, it would sound demeaning because he did not give a damn about other blacks in the first place

Michelle Obama tells black kids to put down the game control and pick up a book and shes a racist to those same conservatives...
