Kevin Philips, Republican and Nixon campaign strategist, speaking about
the Republican "Southern Strategy" in a 1970 interview with the New York
Times:

"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. The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the
South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and
become Republicans. That’s where the votes are. Without that prodding
from the blacks, the whites will backslide into their old comfortable
arrangement with the local Democrats."


Ayyuuup.
