Byrd entered congress while the south was still segregated.

Not to excuse his actions at earlier times in his life, but by the time he was a “mentor” to Hillary Clinton he had renounced racism and and segregation and was the longest serving member in the US senate and an expert on its procedures.

Pointing out that the Democratic Party was full of southern segregationists in the early 20th century is pure laziness.

Additionally, the federal courthouse wasn’t “firebombed” some groups broke in and set fires. It was violent and destructive but you’re vastly exaggerating the scale.
