Anyway, whatever you believe about the Southern Strategy, Nixon saw broad support in the south including from elected officials that were unabashed Jim Crow racists

Fast forward to the 80's and Reagan's "War on Drugs". The laws were designed such that drugs used primarily by minorities carried much harsher penalties than drugs used primarily by whites. Crack cocaine versus powder being the best example. This resulted in vastly disproportionate numbers of black and Latino males getting felony charges. The impact of this reverberates in American culture to this day.

🤔

2018-11-07 14:48:23 UTC  

Now were there dems who voted for the unequal drug laws - yes.

2018-11-07 14:48:38 UTC  

I wonder who's idea it was for penalties to be more severe...I'm sure it was a bunch of white people in robes and not black community leaders.

2018-11-07 14:48:38 UTC  

Were there repubs who were skeptical? Not many, but some.

2018-11-07 14:48:56 UTC  

That's why I will agree that the idea of a "flip" as if it is gospel is inaccurate

2018-11-07 14:49:56 UTC  

But what we do have now is a democratic party that has the vast majority of black elected officials that exist in the US

2018-11-07 14:50:10 UTC  

Surprise surprise, my Civics teacher told me that in HS. An SJW (back when i didn't know what that was)
