Atwater was talking shit twenty years after the facts.
What policies or actions did nixon take to "appeal to racists"?
Did your nose grow when you posted that , pinnochio?Assertion: The Southern Strategy is a massive conspiracy theory.
THe contention made is that for over 50 years, the republicans have been speaking in the open, using secrete\ "code" or "Dog whistles" that only the massive white racist population, which seems to be at least tens of millions of people, know is actually the political candidates letting the racist voters know that the candidates are racist too, and will... govern racistly in favor of white people.
Now, for 50 years, the republicans have never actually done that, or delivered on those secret promises, but the theory just ignores that.
It is nothing but a massive smear campaign against good people, people who are sick and tired of being called names, by race baiting a-holes.
The Theory is that the republicans have been pandering to the racist whites, since the dems flipped on segregation back in the 60s.
Your side always says that.
If challenged, you normally get very evasive, but it grilled you finally can be forced to admit that all you have to support your vile accusations,
if one interview, years after the fact with lee atwater, and the smoke and mirrors of "dog whistles".
It is utter bullshit. You've got nothing.
A higher percentage of Republicans voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act than Democrats. Both a larger number of Democrats voted for it and against it because Democrats had a significant majority in Congress in the time. However, Republicans voted for it by a higher percentage.
80% of Republicans in the House and 82% in the Senate voted for it.
69% of Democrats in the House and 63% in the Senate voted for it.
1964 Congress:
Senate: 68 Democrats and 32 Republicans
House: 253 Democrats and 177 Republicans
Original Housed version:
Cloture in the Senate:
- Democratic Party: 152–96 (61–39%)
- Republican Party: 138–34 (80–20%)
The Senate version:
- Democratic Party: 44–23 (66–34%)
- Republican Party: 27–6 (82–18%)
The Senate version, voted on by the House:
- Democratic Party: 46–21 (69–31%)
- Republican Party: 27–6 (82–18%)
- Democratic Party: 153–91 (63–37%)
- Republican Party: 136–35 (80–20%)
A telling break down is between the Southern delegation and the Northern one.
The House of Representatives:[26]
The Senate:[26]
- Northern: 281–32 (90–10%)
- Southern: 8–94 (8–92%)
By party and region[edit]
- Northern: 72–6 (92–8%)
- Southern: 1–21 (5–95%) (Ralph Yarborough of Texas was the only southerner to vote in favor in the Senate)
The House of Representatives:[26]
The Senate:[26]
- Southern Democrats: 8–87 (7–93%) (four Representatives from Texas, two from Tennessee, Claude Pepper of Florida and Charles L. Weltner of Georgia voted in favor)
- Southern Republicans: 0–10 (0–100%)
- Northern Democrats: 145–9 (94–6%)
- Northern Republicans: 138–24 (85–15%)
- Southern Democrats: 1–20 (5–95%) (only Ralph Yarborough of Texas voted in favor)
- Southern Republicans: 0–1 (0–100%) (John Tower of Texas)
- Northern Democrats: 45–1 (98–2%) (only Robert Byrd of West Virginia voted against)
- Northern Republicans: 27–5 (84–16%)
Overall, Republicans still voted for it in a higher percentage and it's only when you start selectively manipulating the statistics in a specific manner that you can paint a different picture.
So, 95% of Southern Democrats voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Why would this make racist Democrats suddenly leave the party? Did all the big government, high tax Democrats become small government, low tax, fiscally conservative Republicans and vice versa as both sides completely switched teams over one single issue?
I don't really care about the specific breakdown by region and party. It was in Wiki.
The point is the North mostly vote for it regardless of party, and the South mostly voted against it regardless of party.
Both parties voted for it, by strong majorities.
The actual racists, at least the white ones, were marginalized in national politics with the dems flipping on the issue and joining the republicans in supporting equality for blacks.
The pretense that one of the major parties has been secretly working against it's stated platforms of the last 50 years, and communicating by secret code with tens of millions of racists voters, that they are racist like them, even though they can't yet give them the racist policies that the racists want, but hey we still want you to vote for us, because...
Well, the SSCT doesn't say why. Some how, racist are so racist that just coded rhetoric is enough to keep them happy, for generations.
lol!!!
Who was voting makes no fucking difference
Only the people at teh top of the party
THat was the strategy. As to whether or not it worked no one knows.
Whoooooosh
WHy you think the voters matter I have no idea. They don't set strategy. Political operatives like Atwater do

Hey, check out this quote.
Lee Atwater: And if were a Black, it wouldn't make any difference.
"There's always going to be a ... I'll say this, my generation, you're my generation, we're the first generation of Southerners that's not been racist. Totally. In other words, my parents and even people five or ten years older than me were touched with things they were believing. But what I'm saying is that has been sublimated by a bunch of other issues. But more importantly, just people in the South are just like any people in the history of the world. Once something becomes a reality, people adapt to it. We fall, we kick, we struggle with all of these problems, first in '54 when Voting Rights deposition, but by the ‘70s it was a reality. And you just adapt to reality and move on."
So, according to Atwater, the Southern Baby Boomers were not racist.

Lee Atwater (1981): To answer that question, Saul, you have to analyze the nature of Southern politics since the 1940s. I think Southern politics begins with V.O. Key. What he did was analyze the Democratic party, because you didn't have a Republican party. He came up with the idea that the...

In American politics, the Southern strategy was a Republican Party electoral strategy to increase political support among white voters in the South by appealing to racism against African Americans. As the civil rights movement and dismantling of Jim Crow laws in the 1950s and 1960s visibly deepened existing racial tensions in much of the Southern United States, Republican politicians such as presidential candidate Richard Nixon and Senator Barry Goldwater developed strategies that successfully contributed to the political realignment of many white, conservative voters in the South who had traditionally supported the Democratic Party rather than the Republican Party.

In American politics, the “southern strategy” refers to efforts by the Republican Party and its candidates to win presidential elections since 1964 by appealing to conservative whites (especially white southerners) disaffected with the Democratic Party by its strong embrace of civil rights laws in the 1960s and its racially egalitarian policies since.

Democrats did slavery, the KKK, Jim Crow, segregation, lynching, there was no need for another party to appeal to racism, you had it well covered. Still do today. Try being black and leaving the Democrat party. You'll learn how free you are. Or as Biden said, you ain't black
They sure are and have been trying to whitewash their sordid history for decades and project their racism on to the opposition. They hate different races and continually subject them to trinkets in order to oppress them. Its appalling.

Lee Atwater, whom the liberals believe without question.
"But the Reagans did not have to do a Southern strategy for two reasons.
Number one, race was not a dominant issue.
And number two, the mainstream issues in this campaign had been “Southern issues” since way back in the 60s. So Reagan goes out and campaigns on the economics and on national defense, the whole campaign was devoid of any kind of racism, any kind of reference."

Assertion: The Southern Strategy is a massive conspiracy theory.
THe contention made is that for over 50 years, the republicans have been speaking in the open, using secrete\ "code" or "Dog whistles" that only the massive white racist population, which seems to be at least tens of millions of people, know is actually the political candidates letting the racist voters know that the candidates are racist too, and will... govern racistly in favor of white people.
Now, for 50 years, the republicans have never actually done that, or delivered on those secret promises, but the theory just ignores that.
It is nothing but a massive smear campaign against good people, people who are sick and tired of being called names, by race baiting a-holes.
It was always my understanding that the Republicans Southern Strategy was to appeal to southern social conservatives and religious people (i.e the 'Bible Belt'). The fact that these people were overwhelmingly anti-civil rights made it a defacto racist strategy. Racism was never stated but it was just assumed by everyone.
After all this is the homeland of the KKK.
Yep, and the Democrat Party is the party of the KKK
The Democratic and Republican parties have drastically changed over the years.
While it may be true that the Democratic party used to be the party of the KKK, it has not been for a very long time.
Meanwhile, the Republican party is no longer 'The Party Of Lincoln'.
Try to catch up with the times!

You made that up. There is no evidence that the racists ever left the Democrat party. Why would they? The Democrat party is still the party of racism. Starting with your candidate, Joe you ain't black Joe. Imagine a guy with a lily white butt telling blacks they aren't black unless they vote for him. That and all his other racist quotes like that blacks all think the same are just flagrant, flat out racist. The racists haven't gone anywhere from your party and they don't need to
Racist? Wisconsin isn't exactly in the South nor is Oregon. Isn't it time for ignorant racist liberals to concede that we are all one Country and stop assuming that Americans are racist based on where they live?

I don't get why conservatives are so obsessed with this racism stuff. You were not elected to prove how not racist you are, that should be the LAST of your goals.
Further, democrats are removing equal protections under the law in California. As conservatives are proving how not racist they are, democrats are embracing racism full stop. The conservatives are morons.

Democrats patronize blacks and other minorities as slaves with affirmative action, liberal family leave policies, and various other employee benefits that are not in the form of money or cash wages.republicans have been speaking in the open, using secrete\ "code" or "Dog whistles" that only the massive white racist population
Republicans expect blacks and other minorities to do equal work for equal pay, and otherwise relate to them as equals trading agreed-upon work for money, rather than as subordinates or protégés off the job as well as at the workplace.

Because the assholes keep saying the same lies over and over again, to the point that most people believe them.
Barring being able to slap such people in person, calling them out on their lies and calling them vile liars, is the only way to fight back.

The conservative appeal to patriotism, anti-communism, free markets, pro-life and Christianity had more to do with the South becoming Republican than anything related to race.

The Southern Strategy, was a means for him and the Republicans from the north and west, to win.... it was a political strategy to gain more people in to the Republican party.... i dont think the republicans of Lincoln believed or even liked the Southern democrat conservatives, at the time..... they just needed them, to win.

Yeah, everyone knows that, but they also "know" the he was the Father of the Southern Strategy. And pandered to the racists. By doing... stuff.
Except that of course, Goldwater was the real father of it. Even though his opposition to the civil rights act was NOT based on racism. He still was happy to benefit from it, we know that because we can read his mind, across time and space...
THE SOUTHERN STRATEGY IS A CONSPIRACY THEORY. NO ONE CAN SUPPORT IT, EXCEPT WITH TALK OF MAGIC CODE WORDS.
THAT IS THE BASIS OF IT ALL. SECRET MAGIC CODE WORDS.

The Southern Strategy, was a means for him and the Republicans from the north and west, to win.... it was a political strategy to gain more people in to the Republican party.... i dont think the republicans of Lincoln believed or even liked the Southern democrat conservatives, at the time..... they just needed them, to win.
Funny how you left out how he supposedly did that. By supposedly pandering to racists.
Because you know if you say that, I will challenge you to support it.
And you know you cannot.
Because it is not true.

Yes, all of a sudden, like magic, the racist dem politicians and their racist voters became non racist and the non racist Republicans and their voters became racist.
Only the gullible leftist would fall for such a bunch of nonsense.
