Hilly and Billy had long friendships with known established racists: Willian Fulbright was Bill Clinton's mentor:
On May 5, 1993, Clinton praised Senator J. William Fulbright as “my mentor,” as he gave the nation’s highest civilian award — the Presidential Medal of Freedom — to a man who spent the vast majority of his public career and life as a proud segregationist, who voted against the 1964 and 1965 Civil Rights Acts.
Several prominent Democrats dabbled as one-time KKK members — President Harry Truman; Hugo Black, who was appointed by Franklin D. Roosevelt to the Supreme Court from 1937-1971.
Democrat Majority Leader, Robert Byrd, who was not only a KKK member; but a Grand Keagle, a recruiter for the KKK signed up members for $10 a head. He joined because it “offered excitement,” and because the Klan was an effective force in “promoting American values.” He stated in a letter, “The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth…. in every state in the nation.” Byrd became the Democrat leader of the U.S. Senate and served from 1951-2010 and filibustered the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Hugo Black was anti-Catholic (as was the Klan) and behind the decision to separate church from state (can’t let kids go to Catholic school on city buses).
