https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_strategy @ℕ𝕍 Like you can dig into the historical narrative and how it formed

LMAO

As if republicans are any better

LMFAO LETS GENERALIZE

Nixon had a great record on civil rights. He supported the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. He was an avid supporter of the desegregation of public schools.

When people like Malcolm X , Khalid Muhammad, and even Lois Farrakhan created those narratives around the idea of a liberal plantation it has never been to encourage voting republican

It’s been to encourage anti-electoralism and a rejection of bourgeois democratic processes in the American state

He also put into affect America's first affirmative action program.

Nixon barely even campaigned in the Deep South

He lost it to a Democrat segragationist

He also initiated the War on Drugs as a method of discretely targeting blacks and Chicanos in the US, and created the framework for our current legal system regarding enforcement of drug possession which disproportionately targets and punished black defendants @ℕ𝕍

Nixon was far from a pro-black candidate and he definitely wasn’t a pro-black president in terms of his policy

@!GoldenKingship! *Whoah! Abraham Lincoln, someone who openly disparaged African Americans and probably planned to have us all sent to Liberia following the civil war, Frederick Douglas, the man responsible for narratives of pulling ourselves by our bootstraps to combat racism, and Martin Luther King, a man who would have black people beaten to try to gain dignity all were Republicans!*

I better caucas for the GOP

I disagree with the War on Drugs, but Nixon didn't initiate it with the goal of negatively affecting black people.

GG @ℕ𝕍, you just advanced to level 2!

He literally did.

He’s recorded talking about it

Can I have a source please?

We are not all equally the same, We are different and that is special about us.

Bruh

What are we talking about here

probably eugenics, it looks like

“We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalising both heavily, we could disrupt those communities.

“We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes… and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

-John Ehrlichman, Advisor to Nixon and Assitant to the President of Domestic Affairs during the initial War on Drugs

@ℕ𝕍

It was part of the wider CoIntelPro conspiracy against black liberationist and black leftist principally

How does any of what you just said have any relevance today?

We aren’t talking about today, we’re talking about the fact that Nixon’s reasoning for initiating a war on drugs was in-part to suppress Black people

There is currently an Anti White bias being promoted in this world and blacks are just laughing it off because they get affirmative action.

Lmao

Affirmative Action corrects 200 years of slavery, and 400 years of second class citizenship

No it does not, what happens in the past stays in the past.

You’re more likely to be stopped, arrested, and killed by an officer, if you end up in the judicial system and you’re found guilty of a crime you’re almost definitely getting a worse sentence than your white counterparts, your ancestors have been subject to redlining separating you generationally from the same social services provided to whites in your socioeconomic situation, and the state will defend the right of white men to say that you shouldn’t exist even when such perspectives have continuously lead to racial violence against you

Blacks today have not experienced any sort of slavery, why should they be allowed the privilege's to recieve nonsense benefits? Your supposed to work your way up the ladder in society not have big daddy government give you money just because of your skin color.

But it’s a little bit easier to get into college, assuming you didn’t go to a poorly funded school in a state which directs funds away from black communities

No true

Affirmative Action has truly leveled the playing field.

Damn

More whites are shot by cops than blacks are.

Proportionally that’s not true

Black on Black crime is what really is the leading cause of black death in relation to gun violence
