In 1981 Lee Atwater, the famed Republican political consultant, explained the evolution of the G.O.P.’s “Southern strategy,” which originally focused on opposition to the Voting Rights Act but eventually took a more coded form: “You’re getting so abstract now you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is blacks get hurt worse than whites.” In other words, government is the problem because it takes your money and gives it to Those People."<BR/><BR/><STRONG>Read the NYT Article here :</STRONG><BR/><BR/><BR/>http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/02/opinion/02krugman.html?_r=1&ref=opinion<BR/><BR/>Krugman continues criticizing the stupidity of the song "The Magic Negro"<BR/><BR/>See TV interviews and classes of Economy with Paul Krugman here :<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://tossupstates.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow"><STRONG>TossUpStates.com</STRONG></A><BR/><BR/>Vicente DuqueDefensores de Democraciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01990488344886411353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548695401579410439.post-3178788762151942952009-01-02T16:10:00.000-06:002009-01-02T16:10:00.000-06:00Thank you LMJ!We missed you.
