Blacks sick of identity politics

[Magical Realist]

"The late, legendarily brutal campaign consultant Lee Atwater explains how Republicans can win the vote of racists without sounding racist themselves:

"You start out in 1954 by saying, “Nigger, nigger, nigger.” By 1968 you can’t say “nigger”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.… “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “Nigger, nigger.”------------- https://www.thenation.com/article/archiv...-strategy/

All a myth, as the south started voting more Republican way before the Civil Rights Act. And Republicans being so instrumental in its passing would be the opposite of Republican support being due to racism.

But I see you're still very eager to post the most racist shit you can think of. Why not something from LBJ as well?
