The Ku Klux Klan, Terrorist Wing of the Democratic Party?
In the 1930s, a Democrat President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
appointed a Klansman, Senator Hugo Black (D-AL), to the U.S. Supreme
Court. In the 1950s, the Klansmen against whom the civil rights
movement struggled were Democrats. The notorious police commissioner
Bull Connor, who attacked African-Americans with dogs and clubs and
fire hoses, was both a Klansman and the Democratic Party’s National
Committeeman for Alabama. Starting in the 1980s, the Democratic Party
elevated a recruiter for the Ku Klux Klan, Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV),
to third-in-line for the presidency.

I knew that. I remember Bull Conner and the fire hoses in Birmingham! I can faintly remember F.D.R. but Sen. Byrd stayed in office way too long. I think that they should be limited to no more than two terms. As far as Byrd being a Statesman, he was not! Congress and Senate is for "We, The People" and not for a chosen few. Black people need to be represented too. These are just my thoughts and I live near Birmingham, in the deep south. I have friends that are black and I have the same love for them that I have for whites.I am white and what Bull Conner did is unfirgivable.
