Southern white men are the base of the Republican Party. Why?
audio only
A quote from a Kevin Phillip’s, a senior strategist for Richard Nixon's 1968 campaign in a 1970 New York Times article:
From now on, the Republicans are never going to get more than 10 to 20 percent of the Negro vote and they don't need any more than that... but Republicans would be shortsighted if they weakened enforcement of the Voting Rights Act. The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans. That's where the votes are. Without that prodding from the blacks, the whites will backslide into their old comfortable arrangement with the local Democrats."
With the current support for voter ID cards in Georgia by the Republican dominated state Senate is this the party that want Black voters?
