I notice that you didn't quote any source for you bullshit claim, which tells me that yet again you've reached around and pulled more anecdotes out of your ass. You do that a lot.
See that below? That's a link that corroborates what I've been arguing.
Stop berating my education while speeding over the numerous potholes in yours.

In 2005, The GOP Apologized For Exploiting Racial Polarization
Ken Mehlman saying sorry for the “Southern Strategy” now feels quaint.
By Arthur Delaney and Jeffrey Young
WAYBACK MACHINE: THAT TIME THE HEAD OF THE GOP APOLOGIZED FOR EXPLOITING RACIAL POLARIZATION
- Mike Allen on July 14, 2005:
“It was called ‘the southern strategy,’ started under Richard M. Nixon in 1968, and described Republican efforts to use race as a wedge issue ― on matters such as desegregation and busing ― to appeal to white southern voters. Ken Mehlman, the Republican National Committee chairman, this morning will tell the NAACP national convention in Milwaukee that it was ‘wrong.’ ‘
By the ‘70s and into the ‘80s and ‘90s, the Democratic Party solidified its gains in the African American community, and we Republicans did not effectively reach out,’ Mehlman says in his prepared text.
“Some Republicans gave up on winning the African American vote, looking the other way or trying to benefit politically from racial polarization. I am here today as the Republican chairman to tell you we were wrong.’” So vintage. [WaPo]
