>You start out in 1954 by saying 'N*gg*r, n*gg*r, n*gg*r'. By 1968 you can't say 'n*gg*r' - That hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced bussing, states rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a by-product of them is [that] blacks get hurt more than whites.
And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or another. You follow me - because obviously sitting around saying, 'We want to cut this,' is much more abstract than even the bussing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than 'N*gg*r, n*gg*r'.
Lee AtwaterI'm not clued up on the nuances of US politics to fully grasp this interesting statement, so I can't say I really follow.
Perhaps this is ancient history now?

Lee Atwater~~I don't understand it either. I know that Lee Atwater came much later than 1954. So, I don't know where he gets his material.
Racism is alive and well today. Everywhere. So, nothing has changed like the statement you posted.
I still don't understand some people's mindset on this issue. Everyone's blood runs red.
This is the end of the thread.
