Yes, sca, everybody knows. There was plenty of ugliness in the Dixiecrat worldview of the 40s. It hasn't disappeared entirely yet, I've learned, among some older white Dems here in the South. Racism is a disease without demographic or party boundaries, though Byrd was at least smart enough to know he had made a bad choice. Whether he ever repented in his true heart of hearts, I can't know.
