      To be fair, they’re not entirely wrong. Democrats back then were mostly racist Dixiecrats who switched to the Republican party because the national Democratic party decided to push for the Civil Rights Act

      Why do you assume I thought it was only black and white? Obviously they were all racist to some degree, that’s just how it was at the time. It’s just the Southern Democrats were more racist than others… cause that’s who had power in the south back then. Much like their Southern Republican compatriots have quite a bit of power now.

      Just because my comment was pithy doesn’t mean it didn’t have truth in it.
