Yes, I am aware of the problems the legislature created.  I'm also aware that resolving those problems starts with finding common ground.  When the Republican Party condemns the KKK in clear and absolute language as it did in North Carolina, we take hold of that statement and we say, "Yes, this.  Here is where we agree.  We cannot let groups like this think they are becoming acceptable."  Then we try discussing in civil terms how we can resolve legitimate claims of discrimination and how conservatism - a philosophical approach to governing that is not in and of itself racist - can broaden its appeal to minority groups so that we can heal the chasms that the recent election opened.

Call me a dreamer, but I'd rather try this approach than hurling insults and accusations.  That won't solve anything.
