All you know how to do is fling right wing hate to try and justify the Republican sins. That is an old dirty trick. Have you no shame?

Everyone, but you I guess, knows the Republicans "USED" Lee Atwater's Southern strategy in the 1970's of appealing directly to the racists in the south to get the south to vote Republican instead of Democrat.

That is one of the primary reasons African Americans vote for Democrats over Republicans over 90% of the time. Colin Powell and Condi Rice knew about this dark chapter of the Republican party and did nothing about it!. .

Inasmuch as you must not know about it I will post it. It is very important history as it was the entire Republican party that engaged in it.

Hope this helps you understand:

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. [1] [2] [3] 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 that had traditionally supported the Democratic Party to the Republican Party. [4] It also helped push the Republican Party much more to the right. [4]

Lee Awater.'s straegy (I deletd the N word in it as it is too terrible to post.
"Atwater: You start out in 1954 by saying,N " N, N" By 1968 you can't say "N" — that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me — because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to cut this," is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "N,N."

>>>>>He sold out his people, just like Condi Rice did.

His people? WTF do mean...his people?

You're nothing but damned racist
