Don't I feel silly now.

Except they were Democrats then, and because of that you should feel
more than silly.

What should make you feel silly, or at least give you pause, is to
wonder why those people migrated en masse to the Republican party
after the Democrats embraced civil rights.

The didn't want to remain associated with the Grand Kleagle Robert
Byrd.



The Republicans were at the forefront of emancipation and at the
forefront of civil rights.

yes they were. In the 1800s and early 1900s. But not since 1965 or
so.

Since 1965 or so we have seen the destruction of black families. You
guys gonna step up and take credit for that?



Many of those folks did not change parties
simply because some of the Southern Democrats became Republican, just
as some of those Southern Democrats didn't change parties either.

Most of the southern Democrats did change parties. Enough of them did
that the south went from solid Democratic to solid Republican,
coincidently after LBJ pushed through the Civil Rights Act.

Actually they ran to that George Wallace party,

George Wallace's Dixiecrat party was their transitional chick, until
their true love the Southern Strategy GOP came around

George Wallace's candidacy won Nixon the 1968 election.
