Senator Robert C. Byrd (d) Governor George Wallace (d)
West Virginia Mississippi
Look, the southern Democrats ruled the south until around the time George Wallace came on the scene. George Wallace stood in the doorway and refused school access to blacks until President Kennedy federalized the National Guard and forced him to back down. You tell me who the old racists were. Around the time of Goldwater and Nixon the south was broken up and Republicans had a chance for the first time.<p>
Ask them if they know who Senator Robert C. Byrd is. Pictured above, Senator Robert C. Byrd Democrat for West Virgina was an actual member of the Klu Klux Klan. Can't be much more clear than that. And guess what, the Democrats are honored to have him counted among them to this day!
I was a member of the Republican party for thirty years. I never heard a one of them use the "N" word.
The Democrats love to rewrite history. You wouldn't know there was a single thing wrong with Socialism or Marxism if they had their way. Now they like to pretend that the Republicans are the major racists of the 20th Century. Not hardly!
