hat he was "on the wrong side of history" speaks to the state of The Democratic Party of Strom's youth that wanted to preserve slavery, established Jim Crow, founded the KKK, etc. That he supported Democratic Party policies like that is just what it meant to be a Democrat of his era. You know, like Robert Byrd, Former KKK leader, Democratic Senate Majority leader less than a generation ago.


I think It speak more to the culture of the south.

You can’t really blame the Democratic Party when this guy bailed on it when they signed the Civil Rights Act

We are all a product of our environment but we also have a duty to better ourselves.

The other segregationist senators did not bail on the Democrat party. Strom was the only one. It was Democrats including Al Gore's father that filibustered the CIvil Rights Act.

trying to link 'the south' to racism rather than the Democratic party is the standard trick Democrats use.

They still use the Democratic Party name despite it being Tillman, Strom, etc party.
