[lbo-talk] A.D. 2041 - End of White America?

[c b]

Charles Brown:
It is important to recall that Buchanan is reported to have been one
of the authors of Nixon's Southern Strategy, which was to appeal to
white supremacist sentiments that resented the civil rights movement
and urban rebellions of the sixties. The strategy was a critical component of

 Nixon's successful election in 1968. Reagan augments this white supremacist
strategy with special demagogic emphasis on welfare for Black people.
Reaganism develops code language of "Tax and Spend , Big Government
Liberals" = "N-loving , white politicians who "give" our money to Blacks"
This was already there in the Nixon Southern strategy, but the
political fall of the New Deal/War on Poverty
Liberals as majority ideological grouping ,and actual reductions in
welfare and general poverty programs ( at state and federal levels;
for example Englerism in Michigan)
didn't start until Reaganism. The anti-government spending attack as
code for anti-Black follows right through Gingrich/Clinton ( by
Clinton's period, the Dems are significantly Reaganized) ; and the Tea
Party attacks on welfare and social service working class programs,
from social security to unemployment insurance, and now union rights.
