Yep. Before the 1960s and the Civil Rights movement, the Democratic Party, particularly in the South, was a very racist party. Conservatives ruled the Dems in the South after Reconstruction. The "yahoos" began swithing to the Republican Party in the mid to late 1960s largely because of Nixon's Southern strategy. Between the Civil War and this time, there was no GOP in the South. So, yes, Democrats were very racists and the KKK started and was perpetuated under their watch.
