The southern strategy was based on a legitimate dislike of forced school busing, high crime, runaway welfare state and affirmative action (quotas). Just because the KKK also complains about those things dos not make all souterners racist.
What on earth is racist about being opposed to the atrocity called forced busing? The liberals cannot answer that question. Instead they try to mind read southern voters and assume they are racist. They see evidence of racism where there is none.
It is a vile, despicable act to accuse someone of racism without proof.
great point ...i think that the perception and myth created is so generalized but it works for the race hustlers to demonize the republican party and its vile and disgusting...
