They've only changed political parties.
There you go again. The democrats remained democrats. The republicans have never been for slavery. That is controlling people against their will, which is big government. Big government is Democrat policy. You democrats are still the same, only your methods have changed. Blacks are still on the Democrat plantation.
The GOP's admission of the Southern Strategy says you are either a liar or ignorant of the facts.
The term "Southern Strategy" was made up by a lib. Republicans have never even mentioned accept with respect to left-wing claims about it.
Actually they admitted this at least twice that I know of. There is always at least one idiot who will deny this. Looks like you get the booby prize....again.
USATODAY.com - GOP We were wrong to play racial politics
""Some Republicans gave up on winning the African-American vote, looking the other way or trying to benefit politically from racial polarization," Mehlman said at the annual convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "I am here today as the Republican chairman to tell you we were wrong.""
-RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman
"Mehlman's apology to the NAACP at the group's convention in Milwaukee marked the first time
a top Republican Party leader has denounced the so-called Southern Strategy employed by Richard Nixon and other Republicans to peel away white voters in what was then the heavily Democratic South. Beginning in the mid-1960s,
Republicans encouraged disaffected Southern white voters to vote Republican by blaming pro-civil rights Democrats for racial unrest and other racial problems."
RNC Chair Michael Steele Confesses to Race-Based Southern Strategy Mediaite
"“For the last 40-plus years
we had a ‘Southern Strategy’ that alienated many minority voters by focusing on the white male vote in the South. Well, guess what happened in 1992, folks, ‘Bubba’ went back home to the Democratic Party and voted for Bill Clinton.”"
-RNC Chairman Michael Steel.
