Yeah, but what people who bring that canard up never mention is that in the 19th century, the Democrats were the conservative party and the Republicans were the radical party. The Republican party was founded pretty much specifically to oppose slavery, which the entire economy of the US South was based around and which was considered a sacrosanct property right by (white) Southerners. You could almost call the 1850s Republicans the Pirate Party of their day.
Political alignments and parties change over time, and 160 years is a long, long time. All you have to look at is the fact that something like 90% of African Americans are Democrats. That's far and away the most monolithic ethnic voting bloc in the country. You pretty much have to be a racist to think that 90% of the population are too dumb to know which party at least pretends to represent their interests.
