Democrats embrace their segregationist past

From the Civil War through the 1990s, Democrats controlled the 11 Confederate states. Not until 1994 did Republicans have a majority of the congressmen from those states, and that was 30 years after passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. State legislatures fell later.

For years, though, Democrats have peddled the lie that the segregationists flipped parties in 1964. They remained loyal Democrats.

Now Joe Biden is embracing his inner white supremacist. News One reported, "Joe Biden Fondly Recalls The ‘Civility’ Of Pro-Segregation Senators."

Sure, they denied black people the vote, forced them to sit in the back of the bus, and would not let them in their restaurants, bathrooms, or hotels, but by golly those klansmen in the Senate were gentlemen.

Biden joined the Senate in 1973.

They really have no defense against the historical record, but when there are no more places to hide will pronounce they realized that their party's past segregationist policies were wrong and have 'redeemed' themselves before blacks by embracing rights for the people they have wronged.

In the unlikely event they can't escape that tactic, they will then go to the next alternative strategy as saying 'most of that crowd is gone' and this is a new Democrat party.   

This is the danger for an older guy like Biden who was there at the time, and he remains a ripe target.
