Democrats such as George Wallace and Orville Faubus, and of course the late Robert Byrd, should be remembered for their Democratic party membership as well as their very public racism. Since then I've seen no evidence that the Democrats have changed all that much, except in their rhetoric and opportunistic propaganda.
