The Republican Southern Strategy, nicely summarized, in 1970, by one of its perpetrators:
From now on, the Republicans are never going to get more than 10 to 20 percent of the Negro vote and they dont need any more than that
but Republicans would be shortsighted if they weakened enforcement of the Voting Rights Act. The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans.
Thats where the votes are. Without that prodding from the blacks, the whites will backslide into their old comfortable arrangement with the local Democrats.
