I guess I'm really touching some raw nerves here.<br /><br />I never said Reagan was a racist. That wasn't my point at all, and you know it. My point was was that Reagan was continuing a political scheme of Nixon, the Southern Strategy, to appeal in coded terms to white racists in the south, to convert them to the Republican Party on the national level. This was largely successful for more than a generation. It wasn't completely successful, of course, as all party-coalition strategies are subject to defects. Carter carried a good portion of the south in 1976 because he was a southerner, and because the nation was reeling after eight years of Watergate, the loss of the Vietnam War, gas rationing, inflation and all the rest. Clinton carried some of the south because again, he was a southerner to whom many white southerners could culturally relate. But he also lost southern states and tellingly, Al Gore lost his own state in 2000. The real place to look in southern politics is in the House of Representatives. There we see that Republicans have corruptly gerrymandered districts to ensure their perpetuation in power. These are the same districts that fifty years ago would have been voting for Democrats, proving yet again my point that the bigots of the old Democratic Party are now the modern bigots of the Republican Party -- your party, Dr. Egnor. Your party is the heir to the KKK, slavery, Jim Crow and all the rest.
