Some party members were among those criticizing a Facebook post by the Winnebago County Republican Party.
The post lists things like having car insurance, a full-time job, no criminal record, and a good credit score as “signs of white supremacy.”
In the comments section were reactions like “disgusting” and “inappropriate.”
The party says the post was a meme serving as a warning about “critical race theory,” a movement in the schools to re-examine racial justice in America that has been criticized by conservatives.
The post was taken down Monday afternoon.
