Now contrast that with the Late Sen. Strom Thurmond, at his funeral even some of his closest Senate Colleagues would not attend because of his so called past and he was treated disrespectfully. Yet from all accounts he gave a lot of Blacks starts on his staff and helped a lot them along in their political and/or government careers.

Thurmond did change, beginning in the '60s. We have no clue about Byrd.

Agreed on this.
Byrd we don’t really know anything about and what he did or not do.
I have just heard that there is a Democrat resolution for Byrd to lie in State. That I don’t agree with.
