@ricardocabeza6006 Wow, you are all over the comment section for this video. Touched a nerve, did it? One thing I often see, when people want to claim, 'The Democrats are racist, not me!' is this idea of the Democrats today being the same as the Southern Democrats during, before, and after the Civil War. They're not.
The Southern Democrats were plantation owners, slave holders. They eventually left the Democratic party when Civil Rights act and integration came along. Guess which party Southern Democrats joined, and influenced heavily, because of integration. No, really, guess.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Democrats
"During the Civil Rights Movement, Democrats in the South initially still voted loyally with their party. After the signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the old argument that all whites had to stick together to prevent civil rights legislation lost its force because the legislation had now been passed. More and more whites began to vote Republican, especially in the suburbs and growing cities. Newcomers from the North were mostly Republican; they were now joined by conservatives and wealthy Southern whites, while liberal whites and poor whites, especially in rural areas, remained with the Democratic Party."
What always amazes me, is people like you know enough history to say that Democrats in the South owned slaves, supported secession, and started the KKK to fight Civil Rights, but you don't also seem to know that this is the year 2021, and a lot has changed. What used to be Southern Democrats are now Republicans. I guess you heard this from somewhere? And never bothered to fact check it yourself?

@ricardocabeza6006 They didn't switch so much as change. You don't really think the modern Republican party is the same as with Lincoln, or George HW Bush? Things have changed since 1865. That's a fact. You don't have to believe it. But it's a fact.
For example, Democrats no longer own plantations and slaves, whether north or south. To believe that nothing has changed, from the party that had slaves, to now being a situation where there are no slaves, is just foolish.
I'm sorry you cherry pick your history, because you obviously are smart enough to know some things. But you want to make yourself feel better, and say, "I'm not a racist, You're the racist!" That's just sad. I don't know if you really believe these things, or if you're just trolling. But it amounts to the same thing.
Southern Democrats switched to the Republican party, and hated the Democrats, after the Civil Rights Act passed. That's just history.

@ricardocabeza6006 I don't know who Joe Manchin is, let alone hate him. Biden's thing was back in the 70s. Biden said, "If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black." Get the quote right.
Also, Southern Democrats switching to the Republicans is not just a narrative. As for the rest of that, you're clutching at straws, filling in your own narrative, and just, generally, saying, I'm not racist! The Democrats are racist!
At best, that's Whataboutism. You haven't even tried to prove how Republicans aren't racist, or even disputed this. Instead, you say the Democrats are racist. So, sorry, but history doesn't care what you believe, or how you cherry pick. Also, you're all over the place in these comments. You seem to want to just argue, and seem to be distracting from the actual story: trolling, in other words.
And since you aren't into having any sort of conversation, I'm done with you. You'll no doubt think you won the argument. Rest assured, you did not.
