Yesterday I read a thread on that bird site from a guy adressed at black communities, writing about Lee Atwater and the "Southern Strategy" which I never heard of. That guy basically wanted to reinstate segregation but more hidden, was an adviser to Reagan and wanted to help him into office by evoking the latent racist tendencies of moderate reps in a way they could still feel good about themselves. OP posted pictures of Atwater with a young Roger Stone and a young Trump and drew parallels to today. He warned all POC that the same thing will happen again. I hope that it was only a preventive measure and that in reality black people voting Trump are a tiny minority when they got a non-white, non-racist person right there running for office.
