    Byrd was a raging racist early in his career but grew later in his career and became a champion for civil rights. He was one of the first to hire a black congressional aide and worked to integrate Capitol police among other things.

    If a raging racist like Byrd can change there is hope for anyone!

    To be fair, if they are under 35 that's what they've been taught. Press them on this belief and they will start sputtering gibberish about the "Southern Strategy" and Willie Horton.

    Byrd "changed" because the politics changed. The Rats learned there was more to be gained by buying the votes of blacks with government handouts then there was turning fire hoses on them. Hell when he practically had one foot in the grave near the end of his life he was still talking about "white Niggers." The guy was a racist until the end, he just changed the form of racism he practiced.

    Yeah, I have to agree. Byrd was a complete and total fucking racist, and that doesn't change once it's in you for as long as it was in him. You don't write shit like he wrote at the age at which he wrote it and then become enlightened. It wasn't as if he'd been sheltered in an isolated town in the middle of Bumblefuck WV. He was a grown man and politician and had access to education and travel and still was a phenomenal racist.

    Let's just put it this way: if we? give Byrd a pass and believe this bullshit about him evolving, then you have to give a guy like Jesse Helms a complete pass and say he did a 180 by giving black people jobs in his office.
