I knew you'd go there.
For some reason, liberals can't accept that THEIR party was the one that was racist, that created the KKK and opposed Civil Rights.
They have to support this notion that all those Southern Democrats jumped ship and became Republicans.
Yeah, that's why people like Robert Byrd, James Fulbright, Al Gore Sr and Sam Ervin - they all "defected" afterward?
They were Democrats, and remained so.
Your claims that everyone was for equal rights prior to the civil rights movement are still pure BS fantasy.
No one marches for something everyone already agrees on.
