i think almost all of the South is racist.
And yes the party was pretty racist until Kennedy and Johnson moved the party towards civil rights and those racist Democrats who didn't like it became Republicans.
And you would know that because... you spent so much time traveling across the Deep South?
I doubt you've ever left San Francisco, as you arbitrarily and prejudicially label the collective people of more than a dozen states as "racist".
I actually read an article not too long ago that many blacks are leaving states like New York, New Jersey and Illinois, because they are facing greater discrimination in those Northern states when pursuing jobs and housing(the state actually hires blacks to visit landlords and "test" openness to minorities, to statistically tabulate levels of racism. Which overlooks other factors, beyond the applicant being black, but labels all rejections as racism regardless), and many blacks have found a more welcoming environment in the states their ancestors left decades ago.
