"Like I said, though, that's Brooks' story, and it's safe to assume that he's sticking to it."

Probably. Doesn't mean it is accurate. Reagan's first campaign was strictly aimed at whites. And that is where he got the votes, less than 10% of the blacks voted for him.

>Like I said, there's nothing in the context of Reagan's "states rights" phrase that suggests a racist conspiracy.

It's not a "racist conspiracy." It's race-baiting. There's a difference.

If he'd made that speech in Chicago or NYC, it might not be race-baiting. But it was in Philadelphia, MS, which was a flashpoint for racial violence.
