You should also consider that across the south in the 1950's members of the "WASP" Southern Baptist Church almost universally supported the legally instituted Aparthied of the Jim Crow Laws, and opposed the Civil Rights Movement, which was dominated by African American Southern Baptists, often with acts of violence.
How'd we move from McConnell to the long history of racist bigotry in the Democratic Party?

Conversation has a way of meandering.....and it's only fair to inject that the bigotry you refer to was from conservative elements of the Democratic Party.

God bless the Warren court and Ike who stuffed it.

Yes, absolutely. God Bless Dwight D. Eisenhower, a truly Great American, and the Warren Court. Couldn't agree more.
However, I wasn't even thinking of Ike or the Supreme Court, but rather guys like Bull Connors, and Estas Faubus, and George Wallace, and Strom Thurmond.....we called 'em DixieRats....advocates of segregation and secession, guys who supported and enabled the KKK, hated the Federal Government, and loved to wave their Confederate Battle Flags. They did everything they could do to prevent the Civil Rights Movement from succeeding. Surely you remember how the Civil Rights workers were jailed, and beaten and had their churches blown up (killing little kids in the process), and had their busses burned and how dogs and firehoses were turned on them and how some of them got dead at the hands of the local constablatory, and how their leaders were murdered. That's part of the long history of conservative bigotry I was talking about.
