"It was a shameful and totally uncalled for outburst of lawfulness undoubtedly encouraged to some considerable degree, at least, by his [Dr. King's] words and actions, and his presence. There is no reason for us to believe that the same destructive rioting and violence cannot, or that it will not, happen here if King attempts his so-called Poor People's March, for what he plans in Washington appears to be something on a far greater scale than what he had indicated he planned to do in Memphis." ~ Robert Byrd

For the 2003–2004 session, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)[70] rated Byrd's voting record as being 100% in line with the NAACP's position on the thirty-three Senate bills they evaluated. Sixteen other senators received that rating. In June 2005, Byrd proposed an additional $10,000,000 in federal funding for the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial in Washington, D.C., remarking that, "With the passage of time, we have come to learn that his Dreamwas the American Dream, and few ever expressed it more eloquently."[71] Upon news of his death, the NAACP released a statement praising Byrd, saying that he "became a champion for civil rights and liberties" and "came to consistently support the NAACP civil rights agenda".[72]

Ehhh. What was the NAACP going to say? Dem policy funds the modern day “plantations”.
Bird was a racist bigot. I wonder how many hangings he approved before “finding Jesus”?
He certainly wasn't a fan of King's. Even stating it was time Dr King "met his waterloo."
Probably fewer than the crucifixions Saul presided over before his conversion.
The NAACP selling out to a political party doesn't change the fact that Byrd was actually a racist POS up until the day he died.
Unless you consider Byrd's voting record in the latter part. Which of course you will.
Yup. Hard to argue if you look at his body of work. I guess people who voted for him before he told them blacks were people too only want to focus on the part they're not ashamed of.
