The Wiki. page does report some prominent Republicans did condemn it.

 RNC Chairman Mike Duncan said in a statement reported Saturday afternoon by Politico. 'I am shocked and appalled that anyone would think this is appropriate, as it clearly does not move us in the right direction.' [13][14]

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich commented that "This is so inappropriate that it should disqualify any Republican National Committee candidate who would use it."[7] The chairs of the Republican state committees in North Dakota and Florida concurred.[15]

p.s.  The idea of the "white" black is old hat.  Cf. the banana Asian:  White on the inside, and yellow on the outside.
