It's really very simple. I don't know why people try to make it complicated. Whatever party is more conservative at any given time in American history, has been the party that racists gravitate to. To argue about the fact that it has been the Democratic party for a large span of time, is irrelevant. At the present, the GOP is the party of conservatives, and with it, the party preferred by racists. Ask a racist which party he prefers. That settles the issue immediately. It's as simple as that.
"the bottom line is that the Klan has never found a home in the Republican party"
That is a lie coming from informed people, and ignorance when parroted by fools.
Republicans have been prominent in the Klan, particularly in the early 20th century. Much of Indiana's GOP government boasted Klan membership, including Governor Jackson. In fact, Indiana had the most Klan membership in the 1920s.
New Jersey, Washington and Oregon, among other states, also had high Republican membership in the Klan.

Once again the Democratic Party, continues to be racist and tries to shift the blame towards the Republicans.

It is no coincidence that apologia for today's GOP racism is as duplicitous as was apologia for racism when Democrats ruled the south.
Trent Lott's Democrat employer in the early 1960s was Rep. William Colmer, a racist leader to make Thurmond blush.
Democrat Colmer voted for Nixon in 1960, Goldwater in '64 and Nixon in '68.
Colmer endorsed his protege when Lott joined the GOP and ran in '72.
In the 1990s, Republican Lott belonged to and raised money for a white supremacist organization.
