You've got to give the Dems credit. They pose as the great civil rights party while ignoring the fact that from 1866 to 1965 they were the party of segregation.
Every liberal from Wilson to Kennedy was elected with the support of white racist southerners. Kennedy was only elected because Texas and several other old confederacy states voted for him.
Somehow when the MSM tells the story the Dems suddenly become the party of civil rights.

Yeah, but they were also the part of people like Strom Thurmond (wasn't it 1964 when he switched parties?) Parties do change over time.
