He started off good then he fell down and made up all kinds of wild accusations that simply arent true. He obviously has no idea what most businesses do and he also must have missed the memo that the GOP admitted to the Southern Strategy. Someone also confused him on what slavery in the US was vs what it was in Africa.
The GOP never admitted to so-called "the Southern strategy." It's a myth. What a few scumbag politicians to to curry favor with the media is irrelevant.
Both times they were the RNC chairman so once again you look like a clown trying to deny it. Homie in the video obviously has had the wool pulled over his eyes. Why would 2 people go on record admitting it?

"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 Chair Michael Steele Confesses to Race-Based Southern Strategy
“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."
Then we have the infamous Lee Atwater admitting to it as well. Sorry clown.
So in the past 16 years, the "southern strategy" is not even neccessary. .Since the Dem party has largely abandoned retail politics in the south. They PURGED the BlueDog Dems from the party for being contrary and standing up for fiscal sanity and a strong national defense. Leaving a LOT of districts without ANY real choice in a Federal election. Many districts go uncontested in Federal elections,.
If the "southern strategy" is so freakin offensive --- why has the Dem party disenfranchised their black constituency there???? It's always so easy in this collusion between 2 parties. To cross-blame and avoid fixing anything because the "other party" is worse. But the fact is --- the Dems don't give a WHIT about franchising the South for blacks. Or EVEN the WHITE DEMS who still vote that party because their racist GrandPappy did.
Because they won't compromise on their leftward lurch. It's more of the tyranny of power and control that the 2 parties have perfected in the past 40 years.
What does that have to do with fact he claimed the GOP never admitted to the Southern Strategy but they did as I proved?
Since 1970, the southern blacks were not gonna vote for Republicans anyways. Because of the "deals" promised by Johnson with the CRAct. That ACT BTW --- REQUIRED rescue by none other than Republicans to even be enacted. No strategy required. No upside to pandering by the Republicans ---
the TYPE of pandering eloquently outlined in the OP video.
My point is --- as Zo made in the Vid is that over those 40 years, voting a solid black bloc in the South has not accomplished much for them. AND because the Dem party dismantled their Southern support, pulled up stakes and wrote all those constituents OFF --- rather than staying and providing them actual REPRESENTATION -- they've lost just as much from the Dems stranding them, as they have from any Southern strategy.
Fact is --- Dems stranded a bunch of politically sketchy WHITES down there as well. Simply because they looked DOWN on them and ridiculed their lifestyles and values. THey STILL do... LOTS of political abuse to go around. You are not unique in any way.
