Nixon's Southern Strategy: "It's All In The Charts":
So, you see. The Republicans realized they needed to keep stoking fear of negroes in order to attract the negrophobes who traditionally went to the Democrats. Then future generations of inculcated bigots would just automatically be attracted to the Republican Party.

Nixon's Southern Strategy: "It's All In The Charts":
"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.

Without that prodding from the blacks, the whites will backslide into their old comfortable arrangement with the local Democrats."
