Robert Byrd on Civil RightsWiki--
For the 2003–2004 session, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)rated Byrd's voting record as being 100 percent in line with the NAACP's position on the 33 Senate bills they evaluated.
This one says 82%.
None of this changes my opinion on the racist and KKK leader. I've is/was scum.
Um, he's dead, he isn't anything now. He's not going to run for office. Even if he were alive and I could vote for him, I wouldn't. However, I think it's funny that you want to point out his ratings when many R's scored lower than Byrd.
Did you vote for Romney/Ryan in the last presidential election? Ryan scored 13% with the ACLU, and 0% by the Human Rights Commission.
My top choice for President in 2016 was rated...
93% ACLU
100% HRC
97% NAACP

Yep, and that proves how slanted these groups are.
Where the hell did I state Byrd was alive, I said he is/was scum. Try reading comprehension programs, they could help.
And I said he isn't anything.
Because he is and was scum. He used to be scum, he is still scum, just scum in a casket.
And if he is nothing, then why do you care what people think of him?
Holy shit, it's like talking to a two year old child. He is not "still" scum, he's not "still" anything. Yes, he used to be a racist, and he used to be scum.
Simply by judging his voting record later in life, and the remorse he showed, I give him credit for that. If Byrd wasn't sincere, he's the one who had to live with it. You and your idiot friends are trying to turn that into something that isn't.
The fact still remains that after the 1964 Civil Rights Act was passed, those once blue states have gradually become red states, filled with racist people we now call Tea Party types.
