The Southern Strategy as you identify it never existed, and the concept is firmly embedded in the fantasy-mythology that the left has used with the weak minded.
The same applies to your erroneous belief that ROTC left the Northeastern Liberal universities of their own volition.
yea...
RNC Chief to Say It Was 'Wrong' to Exploit Racial Conflict for Votes
It was called "the southern strategy," started under Richard M. Nixon in 1968, and described Republican efforts to use race as a wedge issue -- on matters such as desegregation and busing -- to appeal to white southern voters.
Ken Mehlman, the Republican National Committee chairman, this morning will tell the NAACP national convention in Milwaukee that it was "wrong."
"By the '70s and into the '80s and '90s, the Democratic Party solidified its gains in the African American community, and we Republicans did not effectively reach out," Mehlman says in his prepared text. "Some Republicans gave up on winning the African American vote, looking the other way or trying to benefit politically from racial polarization. I am here today as the Republican chairman to tell you we were wrong."

Political Chic... you so stooopid.
Tell me, oh-wise-one...
If, rather than quoting someone, I were to list, say ten or fifteen specific items that showed that during the so-called "Southern Strategy" the Republians, i.e., the Nixon adminstration 'effectively reached out" and accomplished what the Democrats did not, for the black community in the South, would that pretty much make you appear....
..."so stooopid?"
1. Let’s see what the Nixon adminstration did as examples of their “Republican-racist tilt:”
a. As president of the Senate,
Nixon strongly supported civil rights, specifically the 1957 civil rights act, issuing an advisory opinion that a filibuster could be stopped with a simple majority, thereby changing Senate rules.
Congressional Record, Volume 157 Issue 12 (Thursday, January 27, 2011)
b. “During the 1966 campaign,
Nixon was personally thanked by Dr. King for his help in passing the Civil Rights Act of 1957http://www.nbra.info/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#Nixon_s_Southern_Strategy_Was_Not_A_Racist_Appeal
c. Between 1969 and 1974, Nixon
raised the civil rights enforcement budget 800 percent, and
d.
doubled the budget for black colleges;
e.
appointed more blacks to federal posts and high positions than any president, including LBJ;
f. adopted
the Philadelphia Plan mandating quotas for blacks in unions,
g. and for
black scholars in colleges and universities;
h.
invented "Black Capitalism" (the Office of Minority Business Enterprise),
i. raised U.S. purchases from
black businesses from $9 million to $153 million,
j. increased small business
loans to minorities 1,000 percent,
k. increased U.S. deposits in
minority-owned banks 4,000 percent;
l. raised the share of Southern schools that were
desegregated from 10 percent to 70 percent.
m. This was written by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights in 1975, "It has only been
since 1968 that substantial reduction of racial segregation has taken place in the South."
n. Unlike the empty talk of the prior, Democrat, administration, between NixonÂ’s election in Â’68 and the end of his second year in office, in Â’70,
black students attending all-black schools in the South declined from 68% to 18.4%, and the percentage of black students attending majority white schools went from 18.4% to 38.1%. Conrad Black, “The Invincible Quest: The Life of Richard Milhous Nixon,” p. 647.
Now, all you have to do is deny the above to prove your argument....
...oh, you can't?
Well, then, "...you so stooopid!"
Well, then,....explain how the dozen or so items above indicate "efforts to use race as a wedge issue -- on matters such as desegregation and busing -- to appeal to white southern voters."
What? They don't "use race to appeal to white southern voters"????
Well, then, "...you so stooopid!"
Now, do you see how the Democrats and their allies in the Old Left Media have manipulated you into believing that there was a racist Southern Strategy?
No- you still don't see it?
Well, then, "...you so stooopid!"
“There are none so blind as those, that will not see”
That would be you....'cause...
....."...you so stooopid!"
