Democrats condemn Republican President Richard Nixon for his so-called “Southern Strategy.”
These same Democrats expressed no concern when the racially segregated South voted solidly for Democrats for over 100 years, while deriding Republicans because of the thirty-year odyssey of the South switching to the Republican Party.
The "Southern Strategy” that began in the 1970’s was an effort by Nixon to get fair-minded people in the South to stop discriminating against blacks and vote for the more racially tolerant Republican Party. Georgia did not switch until 2004, and Louisiana was controlled by Democrats until the election of Republican Bobby Jindal, a person of color, as governor in 2007.
As the co-architect of Nixon's "Southern Strategy", Pat Buchanan provided a first-hand account of the origin and intent of that strategy in a 2002 article posted on the Internet. Buchanan wrote that Nixon declared that the Republican Party would be built on a foundation of states’ rights, human rights, small government and a strong national defense. Nixon said he would leave it to the Democratic Party to squeeze the last ounce of political juice out of the rotting fruit of racial injustice.
Nixon Started Affirmative Action Implementation
The enforcement of affirmative action began with Richard Nixon‘s 1969 Philadelphia Plan. The plan was crafted by black Republican Art Fletcher who became known as “the father of affirmative action”. It was merit-based and set the nation‘s first goals and timetables.
Affirmative action was designed to ensure "equal" opportunity for blacks. Democrats turned affirmative action into an unfair and divisive quota system they call "equity."
Nixon was also responsible for the passage of civil rights legislation in the 1970’s.
Notably, Fletcher, as president of the United Negro College Fund, coined the phrase “the mind is a terrible thing to waste.” Fletcher was also one of the original nine plaintiffs in the famous “Brown v. Topeka Board of Education”. Fletcher briefly pursued a bid for the Republican presidential nomination in 1995.
Although affirmative action now has been turned by the Democrats into an unfair quota system that even most blacks do not support, affirmative action was pushed by Nixon to counter the harm caused to blacks when Democrat President Woodrow Wilson kicked almost all blacks out of federal government jobs after he was elected in 1912.
Also, while Wilson was president and Congress was controlled by the Democrats, more discriminatory bills were introduced in Congress than ever before in our nation’s history.
