26. The older black Republicans make sense. The democrats were the racist party up until LBJ and the CRA

and VRA of the 60's. When LBJ supported those, all the southern racists switched parties. The Republicans, especially trolls on the internet, make a big deal about the Klan being formed by Democrats and all the Democratic party things that harmed minorities. They fail to mention the shift in the late 60's that led to the racists moving to the Republican party. The Democratic party leaders in the South were horrible to minorities, those that never switched parties when the racists came to the Republican party were likely victims of that.
