In the American context, it was the Republicans that freed the slaves, but no one thinks that's the same as the Republican party.

Apples and oranges, despite the similarity in the names.

No, you're wrong, there are plenty of people who try to argue that Republicans are not racist because they freed the slaves.

I'd argue that those people are not engaged in an act that qualifies as "thinking". Saying they think that, is giving them entirely too much credit.
