With a past like the democrat party has why do they feel so comfortable calling Republicans racists?

-pbs.org: “The Klan quickly became a terrorist organization in service of the Democratic Party and white supremacy. Between 1869 and 1871 its goal was to destroy Congressional Reconstruction by murdering blacks -- and some whites -- who were either active in Republican politics or educating black children.”

-pbs.org: After [democrat] Wilson was elected in 1912 blacks were segregated or dismissed from federal positions.

-thewhitehousemuseum.org:The first film to be shown inside the White House was The Birth of a Nation, a racist epic that celebrates the Ku Klux Klan as America's saviors. Pres. Wilson [democrat] screened it in 1915 in part to repay a political debt to southern supporters, and such choices have tainted his place in American history ever since.

-6/11/12 npr.org: “One hundred members of Congress from the South — 19 senators and 81 representatives (96 Democrats and four Republicans) — present a "Declaration of Constitutional Principles" that criticized the Supreme Court in its Brown v. Board of Education decision for desegregating schools and protested civil rights initiatives.”

-During the 60’s all of the racist leaders were democrat: Bull Conner, Faubus, Fulbright. “During this period, they [KKK] often forged alliances with Southern police departments, as in Birmingham, Alabama; or with governor's offices, as with George Wallace of Alabama who, on his inauguration as governor of Alabama on January 14, 1963, proclaimed "Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.” wikipedia

-Dem. Senator Robert Byrd wrote to segregationist Mississippi Senator Theodore Bilbo: "I shall never fight in the armed forces with a ***** by my side... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds." He served in the Senate until 2010.

-Byrd created a new chapter of the KKK and rose to prominence as the "Grand Dragon" of the entire Mid-Atlantic states. (6/19/05 Washington Post)

Robert Byrd apologized Sunday for a slur he used during a discussion of race relations in a nationally broadcast interview.” (You can see him say it by google searching “Byrd says the N word”). He was the top democrat in the Senate at the time.

Robert Byrd (D-WV) the Senate lost a legend and he lost a dear friend and mentor.” 6/28/10 ABC News.
