The Democrats founded the KKK and filibustered the Civil Rights Act, in addition to splitting off from the Democrat-Republican party to support slavery. They deny this history via the magic of the "party switch" in which the Republicans magically became the real racists.

My deconstruction of that is to point out that "racism" meant different things, i.e. they were cool with racism when it meant burning crosses and murdering people, but only changed their minds when mean words on Twitter and similar things became "racist".

Other examples of (neo) "racism" include math, milk, the OK sign, etc. All of which you can find articles on from the MSM.
