Democrats keep talking about race because they are racists. Do republicans talk about "blacks" the way democrats talk about "whites," "browns," and "blacks?" Not at all. Republicans generally do not think in terms of race. That is a democrat obsession.
How Coded Racial Appeals Have Reinvented Racism and Wrecked the Middle Class
"it's not just the promotion of old-fashioned racial stereotypes that we need to worry about. Rather, he argues, it's the manipulation of racism in service of very specific goals."
"This sort of coded speech operates on two levels," he says. "It triggers racial anxiety and it allows plausible deniability by crafting language that lets the speaker deny that he's even thinking about race."
It's disturbing and frustrating, and more than ever, it's what racism sounds like and how politics works.
To understand how outright racist language has gone underground but is working as hard as ever to drum up support for conservative policies.
So,
when Ronald Reagan said "cut taxes," what he was communicating to the middle class was, "so your taxes won't be wasted on minorities."
George Wallace pushed the same message.... but even then poor whites did not get it!! It was still too, about using tax money to help upper middle class income and wealthy whites to build their communities and direct taxes to what benefits whites... while tossing the scraps to poor whites... while trying to ensure blacks are fully denied.
You don't know this, because you don't want to know it... it would burst the bubble of a poor white segment having been groomed as if 'to consider them as nothing more than "guard dogs" to protect the well to do and the wealthy and the white nationalist wealthy white male privilege", which has no concern and nothing for the poor whites, except to use them... in the "constant attack mode"... while the wealthy fleeced the nation and carted off the industry, to ensure that Poor whites remain being poor whites relegated to the service class, and blacks to be relegated to the even lower service class jobs that even poor whites did not want."...
that's difficult for people as yourself to digest, because the vain hope that the well to do and wealthy might one day accept you among them, when fact is, it was and still is the wealthy and the well to do, first created the label of "poor whites", and over time, they added in the adjective of "trash"...
You know and every other poor white person knows, not to go into any well to do and wealthy white community, and these same poor whites come up with excuses why they don't go there, when fact is beneath it all, they know they are not wanted or allowed there, "unless" they come to perform some service, and when that service is done, they are not to linger beyond that.
LBJ... is the man who saw the disparity and created programs to help poor whites, and within that poor minorities were also helped, but it certainly was not done by any Republican, instead, Republican have and continue to fight against any and all programs that serve to help, assist and support many white people, and far more white people than it supports of black people, based on pure numbers. LBJ... was a Democrat... not a Republican and certainly did not label himself with the "serve the wealthy label of "conservative"... !!!!
If you don't want to learn the truth, that's 100% on you!

why white people implode when talking about race.)
