This comment is "historically accurate" but misleading. Even though the comment they are replying to tried to clarify the situation this commenter continues to push for their agenda without heeding the facts stated.

Political Parties are not set in stone, their goals and morals can change just as easily as your own personal affiliation can change.

I'm addressing the original point, which was claiming that America (implication - in whole, or uniformly) supported Jim Crow. It did not. One party supported that, but the other did not.

I don't belong to any political party, mostly because of the point you are making, but I don't think it is fair to tar all Americans with what only some of us did. Many fought for years against it and credit is due to those who did, and shame is due to those who resisted the change.

Both main parties have moved past this, more or less, and it's great to see slavery, Jim Crow and KKK in the rear view mirror.

I do not agree that the Republican Party is somehow a racist party or that it has somehow "swapped" with the Democrat party on this.
