Are they freaking kidding?!?!?! It was Republicans who pushed civil rights in the 1960s, Democrats had to be dragged along, kicking and screaming
Very true.
I've always said that the world would be better had every one of those Jim Crow era democrats who loved harassing, threatening, killing, maiming, etc. African Americans and other minorities were wiped from the face of the planet back then. For good measure, I'd also want any filth they birthed and raised to think like them wiped away as well.
One can only imagine how much better the country, if not the world, would be had those racist POS never existed.
