LOL. Yeah, they all got together and said "Hey, let's switch sides". Sure, buddy.They certainly did switch sides.
Democrats are no different today than they were when they first formed the KKK. They don't lynch black Republicans with a rope anymore, they lynch them in the media. Clarence Thomas is but one example. You'd like to rewrite history but you can't do it. Robert Byrd will be the albatross around your neck forever, and you'll be making excuses for why your party holds him in such high regard, enough to give him leadership positions in the party for his entire career. If there was any validity to your ridiculous claim about "switching sides" (lol), Robert Byrd would have been kicked out of the party before 1970. You racists own him, and you own the KKK.
