True. And little has changed in the intervening years from antebellum till now.
The Democrats founded the Ku Klux Klan, after being the South's principal slaveowners for a hundred years or more. Democrats still comprise the bulk of the Klan's membership (and leadership) today - a fact that has never changed. They work hard to conceal this fact.
And for decades (up to and including today) Democrats are the continual, chronic sponsors of legislation that promoted the idea that black people and other minorities, cannot make it without government help. But they promote no such programs for whites.
You're right: Today is far more important than the past. But the fact that the racism that permeates the Democrat party today, has remained unchanged for hundreds of years, counts too.
DNC and RNC are umbrella organizations for endless brands within the party.
The Southern Democrats were once one of the most powerful brands within the Democratic Party that created and imposed Jim Crow Laws in the South and fought civil rights.
What do you think became of the Southern Democrat brand?
The Republicans saw an opportunity to convert them to the Republican base and used it.
In 2005, then RNC Chair, Ken Mehlman appologised to the NAACP for the Republican exploitation of of race- the Southern Strategy.
There are racists in all political parties in all parts of the US.
There are reasons why more people identify as Unaffiliated/ Independent than either Republican or Democrat.
I'd venture to say that 99% of people in America today who identify as White Nationalists or KKK are republican.
I venture a guess opinion educated at that, you are 100% wrong.
Deflect someplace else.

I consider those folks were bamboozled by the democrats long ago.
To democrat Black Americans who hate Trump, conservatives, the GOP and Republicans in general, why are you still sore? What exactly to date has your democrat party done for you to help you "rise up"?
