Sen. Byrd was not a KKK Grand Wizard. And that photo of him is obviously faked.

There is no need for any exaggeration when it comes to Byrd’s Klan history. Byrd was an Exalted Cyclops. So he was not just a local Klan leader. He was THE local Klan leader. And he said many filthy, racist things about black people.

Yet as you noted, Byrd has many buildings and roads named after him. And since he’s a Democrat no one cares about his past.

This reminds of the classic Twilight Zone episode,

“Byrd has many buildings and roads named after him.”

Clearly you favor the understatement. Why not just call the state West Byrdinia?

He was also a recruiter for the Klan.
