Both parties have shown racism in the past, not excluding republicans and trump. I'm not denying there are racist democrats however it is ignorant to deny racism on the right as well.

It's not a switch but a shift in the latter half of the 20th century:

Lyndon B. Johnson, a Democrat, signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 into law.

Most notably, Strom Thurmond, the longtime South Carolina Senator, ran

for POTUS as a Southern, Democratic Dixiecrat, going on to say that,

“all the laws of Washington and all the bayonets of the Army cannot

force the Negro into our homes, into our schools, our churches and our

Lyndon B. Johnson was marching forward toward racial equality,

“These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness.

For if we don't move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there'll be no way of stopping them, we'll lose the filibuster and there'll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It'll be Reconstruction all over again." - Lyndon Baines Johnson

You are gonna say the parties switched but they never did.

If you honestly believe there was no party switch, try checking the history books again bro. It wasn't a complete 180 of views, and it didn't happen overnight. It was something that happened over tens of years and happened when the parties' values started shifting in different areas and their priorities lied different than before. The views that would shift over time would then go to contradict many other beliefs of their own party previously as well. The point isn't that the two parties completely switched all their values, it's that the two parties' values changed, with some of those values switching between the two parties over time. As someone who has studied history extensively, I guarantee anyone else that has studied history will tell you the same, if not very very similarly.

Yeah as if a KKK member would vote for Biden, you obviously do not understand history and American politics if you do not know about the party switch.
