I am talking more in terms of mass media, but yea. The irony is that before all that the GOP were the Democrats and the Democrats were the GOP, but Nixon's Southern strategy flipped all that.
It's only been in the past couple years I've heard an increase of GOP supporters try to point out that King and Lincoln were republicans. All I have to say is that was then and this is now.
I will only say as loyal as minorities have been to the democratic party since Nixon, we still have to do a better job on delivery not just pay lip service to social issues. It still has to translate to economic success. The only key is to destroy what Reagan started, in deregulation and if we can do that both whites and blacks would benefit.
Dems have the social issues spot on, but what we have not done effectively since Reagan is selling the economics well. Far too often we end up getting held hostage and end up compromising too much with the GOP.
