Which "southern strategy" are you referring to? Please elucidate.
The only "southern strategy" that I'm really familiar with is the one where the racist Democrats moved the blacks out of the South and concentrated them on the big city plantations, making them easier to control with drugs, crappy education and long prison sentences, in return for which the Demmies would pay them a few Hamiltons come vote time, and 102% of the "registered voters" would eagerly do their civic duty (Bring out yer dead! See Philadelphia, 2000).

This is more what I was looking for,not an opinion essay which will teach me to read things through before I post *lol*

BTW, democrats didn't move anyone out from anywhere. Black people were living in the big cities long before that.
