This is a ridiculous claim betrayed by obvious facts. The former segregationist wing of the Democratic party was the Southern Conservative wing and Southern Conservatives today remain as isolated and predominantly white and evangelical as they did then. The Democratic Party however is a bastion of multi-racial and cultural diversity, the exact opposite of the goals of segregation.
THe Dem party then promised whites that it would benefit them at teh expense of blacks.
Today the dem party promises blacks and browns to benefit them at teh expense of whites.
That you think one is bad and the other good, lol.
It's the Republican Party today that attacks the voting rights act that helped to defeat Southern Democratic segregationists.
The Southern white segregationists are 50 years gone. Stop living in the past.
Today's GOP of course thinks it's moral to keep venerating those old Jim Crow assclowns by fighting tooth and nail to maintain statues honoring the same people you're here trying to pretend you're morally against.
Strom, unlike Byrd never publicly denounced his support of segregation.
Yes, but I was thinking more about government policies, arguing for good policy as opposed to dividing US up into groups to then bait them into fighting each other for resources and power.
The dems did it then, both north AND south, ,and the dems to it today, both north AND south. And west for that matter.
