“
I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.
”
— Robert C. Byrd, in a letter to Sen. Theodore Bilbo (D-MS), 1944, [8

Robert Byrd was one of the most vile racist ever to serve in the U.S. Senate!
But, he wasn’t alone. He along with other Democrats filibustered the 1964 Civil rights act for nearly three months. He personally talked his head off on the senate floor for 14 hours.
You won’t find many places that will mention this because Byrd’s history along with the true heritage of the Democrat party has been successfully “white washed” as much as the white sheets he used to wear.
In fact, the “white wash” has been so skillful thanks to the greatest propaganda and revisionist history campaign ever implemented in America; most African Americans believe that it was the Republicans who used to hold them down in the chains of slavery.
But, that’s a false history!
Democrats are the original enslavers of African Americans.
Democrats invented Jim Crow laws.
Democrats are the original domestic terrorists by forming the Klu Klux Klan who used to lynch Black people on the regular.
Democrats having lost their battle to keep slavery alive and well, wanted segregation to take its place and Robert Byrd was not a unique fella in that regard.
I just thought I mention this at his passing.
From Yahoo News:
Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia, the longest-serving senator in U.S. history, has died at age 92.
Spokesman Jesse Jacobs says Byrd died peacefully at about 3 a.m. Monday at Inova Hospital in Fairfax, Va.
Byrd was elected to the Senate in 1958, after spending six years in the House. He was the Senate majority leader for six years during the late 1970s and 1980s and was third in the line of succession for the presidency.
As either chairman or the senior Democrat on the Appropriations Committee for 20 years, he steered billions of dollars in federal spending to West Virginia.
Byrd became more frail after the death of his wife, Erma, in 2006. By 2009, aides were wheeling him to and from the Senate floor in a wheelchair.
