Pulitzer Prize-winner Cynthia Tucker and award-winning author Frye Gaillard carry Egerton's thesis forward in The Southernization of America, a compelling series of linked essays considering the role of the South in shaping America's current political and cultural landscape. They dive deeper, examining the morphing of the Southern strategy of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan into the Republican Party of today. They find hope in the South too, a legacy rooted in the civil rights years that might ultimately lead the nation on the path to redemption. Tucker and Gaillard bring a multiracial perspective and years of political reporting to bear on a critical moment in American history, a time of racial reckoning and democracy under siege.Frye Gaillard is an award-winning journalist with over 30 published works on Southern history and culture, including Watermelon Wine; Cradle of Freedom: Alabama and the Movement that Changed America; The Books That Mattered: A Reader's Memoir; Journey to the Wilderness: War, Memory, and a Southern Family's Civil War Letters; Go South to Freedom; A Hard Rain: America in the 1960s, Our Decade of Hope, Possibility, and Innocence Lost; and The Slave Who Went to Congress.

Ed Kasputis interviews author, Tim Wendel about his book, Summer of ’68: The Season That Changed Baseball – and America – Forever. From the beginning, '68 was a season rocked by national tragedy and sweeping change. Opening Day was postponed and later played in the shadow of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s funeral. That summer, as the pennant races were heating up, the assassination of Robert Kennedy was later followed by rioting at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. But even as tensions boiled over and violence spilled into the streets, something remarkable was happening in major league ballparks across the country. Pitchers were dominating like never before, and with records falling and shut-outs mounting, many began hailing '68 as “The Year of the Pitcher.” Meanwhile in Detroit—which had burned just the summer before during one of the worst riots in American history—'68 instead found the city rallying together behind a colorful Tigers team led by Denny McLain, Mickey Lolich, Willie Horton, and Al Kaline. The Tigers would finish atop the American League, setting themselves on a highly anticipated collision course with Bob Gibson's Cardinals.

Trump's State of the Union was a two-hour Willie Horton ad designed to keep his shrinking base loyal through blood-soaked imagery borrowed from imperial Rome. Proleftpod traces how Michele Bachmann's 2011 Tea Party response prefigured today's MAGA lies by pretending the Great Recession never happened, just as Trump pretends away ICE murders, the Epstein files, and economic chaos.

Born into the Civil Rights Movement, author Anthony Walton observed firsthand the opening of opportunity for racial reconciliation. He also saw systemic racism and the vicious backlash against Black progress embodied in the Southern Strategy, Tea Party, and MAGA. Over time, Walton came to believe that moving forward requires a "Third Reconstruction" to accomplish what remains: better health outcomes, secure voting rights, and sustained economic and educational opportunity. Only this approach, he believes, will accomplish what remains unfinished for true African American equality. Blending social history, bracing analysis, and autobiography, this dazzling collection includes essays published in The New York Times and The Atlantic--including "Willie Horton and Me" and the much-anthologized "Technology vs. African Americans"--as well as new work that probes Walton's earlier thinking. Throughout, the author delivers insights that wrestle with the hydra-headed, ever-changing realities of an American society in which the more things change, the more they stay the same. The End of Respectability: Notes of a Black American Reckoning with His Life and His Nation (David R. Godine, 2024) illuminates recent American history as experienced by a writer who has remained open to hope, unfazed by failures, and unflinchingly dedicated to the truth.

Politicians have historically relied on traditional media — like television — to get out their campaign messages and mobilize voters. Who can forget the infamous 1988 Willie Horton ad? But while traditional media still dominates political ad spending, politicians are spreading their messages on digital platforms once reserved for entertainment. Even TikTok is being leveraged by many politicians as the way to engage a digital generation.

In 1988, The Bush Campaign released a scathing ad that highlighted presidential candidate Michael Dukakis' stance on justice.  This ad featured the horrendous acts of Willie Horton, a convicted felon, who was out on a weekend pass.  Yes this was a real thing.  Massachusetts did grant weekend passes to felons convicted of violent crimes. This was over thirty years ago and you would think the Demoncrats would have learned their lesson.  Mike Church says not only did the not learn their lesson but they have stepped up their game.  Mike brings the Horton issue up because, we are painfully close to another violent act.  This time be one of the many illegal aliens like the one who beat the NYPD cop, and then were released without bail.  Not only did the get away with the violence, now they are free to leave the state and do it again.  Mike Church reveals the connections between Horton and today, and he explains why we need to be vigilant and why more has to be done to secure our borders.  Get these answers and more on this episode of the New Christendom Daily.

"Understanding the Co-Optation of "Woke Culture" and the Power of Language-Bonus Round Series" Season 4 Episode 8 Today we have an engaging topic to explore: "Woke Culture" and "Woke Ideology." Before we dive in, let's set the stage with some context. According to a CNN story titled "Opinion: The fight against 'woke' is really conservative gaslighting," we can trace the co-optation of language by conservative circles back to previous decades. In the 1960s, the term "Black Power" emerged as a symbol of empowerment and self-reliance, championed by figures like Kwame Ture, known as Stokely Carmichael. However, conservatives reframed the term, using it as a catch-all phrase to stoke fear among White voters that African Americans were seeking domination. Fast forward to later years, when former California Governor and President Ronald Reagan introduced the infamous "welfare queen" narrative. This narrative falsely portrayed public assistance as primarily benefiting Black individuals, despite statistics showing that more White people have been recipients of federal aid programs over time. The co-optation of language has intensified in recent years, partly due to the rise of social media, allowing for the rapid dissemination of divisive narratives. It's essential to acknowledge the legacy of figures like Lee Atwater, the mastermind behind racially charged political strategies such as the Willie Horton ad. Though Atwater expressed regret for his actions near the end of his life, the impact of his racist tactics persists. Today, the list of terms weaponized by conservatives is extensive, and one term in particular has become almost ubiquitous: "woke." Understanding the Co-Optation of "Woke Culture" and the Power of Language In today's ever-evolving social and political landscape, the term "woke culture" has become a topic of intense discussion. However, the origins and meaning of this term have been obscured by its politicization and co-optation by various actors. In this Bonus Round episode we will explore the historical precedents of language co-optation, examine how the term "woke" has been weaponized, and shed light on the power dynamics at play. I. The Origin and Meaning of "Woke"    A. Historical Roots B. Shifting Definitions II. Language Co-Optation and Fearmongering A. Historical Precedents B. The Welfare Queen Narrative C. Lee Atwater and the Southern Strategy III. The Weaponization of "Woke" A. Political Motivations B. Social Media's Influence IV. The Power of Language and Constructive Conversations A. Encouraging Genuine Awareness B. Critical Thinking and Discourse By understanding the historical precedents of language co-optation and recognizing the power of language in the social media era, we can engage in constructive conversations that promote genuine awareness and progress.

Pulitzer Prize-winner Cynthia Tucker and award-winning author Frye Gaillard carry Egerton's thesis forward in The Southernization of America, a compelling series of linked essays considering the role of the South in shaping America's current political and cultural landscape. They dive deeper, examining the morphing of the Southern strategy of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan into the Republican Party of today, the racial backlash against President Obama, family separation on our southern border, the rise of the Christian right, the white supremacist riots in Charlottesville, the death of George Floyd, and the attack on our nation's capitol. They find hope in the South too, a legacy rooted in the civil rights years that might ultimately lead the nation on the path to redemption. Tucker and Gaillard bring a multiracial perspective and years of political reporting to bear on a critical moment in American history, a time of racial reckoning and democracy under siege.Frye Gaillard is an award-winning journalist with over 30 published works on Southern history and culture, including Watermelon Wine; Cradle of Freedom: Alabama and the Movement that Changed America; The Books That Mattered: A Reader's Memoir; Journey to the Wilderness: War, Memory, and a Southern Family's Civil War Letters; Go South to Freedom; A Hard Rain: America in the 1960s, Our Decade of Hope, Possibility, and Innocence Lost; and The Slave Who Went to Congress. A Hard Rain was selected as one of NPR's Best Books of 2018. Writer-in-residence at the University of South Alabama, he is also John Egerton Scholar in Residence at the Southern Foodways Alliance at the University of Mississippi. He is the winner of the Clarence Cason Award for Nonfiction Writing, the Lillian Smith Book Award, and the Eugene Current-Garcia Award For Distinction in Literary Scholarship. In 2019, Gaillard was awarded the Alabama Governor's Arts Award for his contributions to literature.Cynthia Tucker is a Pulitzer Prize-winning syndicated columnist who has spent most of her career in journalism, having previously worked for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution as an editorial page editor and as a Washington-based political columnist. She has also been featured as a political commentator on television and radio. Tucker's work as a journalist has been celebrated by the National Association of Black Journalists (who inducted her into its hall of fame), Harvard University, and the Alabama Humanities Foundation. She spent three years as a visiting professor at the University of Georgia's Grady College of Journalism and is currently the journalist-in-residence at the University of South Alabama.© 2022 Building Abundant Success!!2022 All Rights ReservedJoin Me on ~ iHeart Radio @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

The Editors at National Review urge Republicans not to cave to demands that they stop focusing on crime as a major issue in the midterm election. Democrats and the media are trying to shame Republicans into giving up one of their strongest issues: being tough on crime. Will Bunch, writing in the Philadelphia Inquirer, says that Republicans are reviving “racist ‘Willie Horton'-style fearmongering” ads from their 1980s playbook. Similar accusations litter the airwaves on CNN and MSNBC. Fretting abounds in the New York Times and Washington Post. Republicans should ignore this. Bunch has no evidence that the ads are fueling racist incidents or ripping up the social fabric. He objects that the ads are working... Plus, new polling shows Republicans are winning larger shares of the Latino population. NBC News reports: Less than six weeks before November's midterm elections, Democrats lead Republicans by more than 20 points among Latino voters, but that Democratic advantage has declined from previous election cycles, according to a new national NBC News/Telemundo poll of the Latino electorate.   The poll also finds Latino voters are essentially divided on President Joe Biden, with 51% approving of his job performance and 45% disapproving.   And it shows these voters largely siding with Democrats on issues like abortion, health care and addressing concerns of the Hispanic community. But it also has them backing Republicans on crime and the economy.            Get exclusive content here!: https://thepetekalinershow.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The roots of Trumpism (Part 1)

Donald Trump's legacy — a proto-fascist movement we might call Trumpism — includes a Supreme Court rapidly taking America backwards, state legislatures suppressing votes and taking over election machinery, and an emboldened oligarchy taking over the economy. While the January 6 committee is doing a fine job exposing Trump's attempted coup that culminated in the attack on the Capitol, it is not part of the committee's charge to reveal why so many Americans were willing — and continue to be willing — to go along with Trump. Yet if America fails to address the causes of Trumpism, the attempted coup he began will continue, and at some point it will succeed. My purpose in today's post (and others to come) is to begin to expose the roots of Trumpism , and suggest what must be done. Let me start with some personal history. In the fall of 2015, I visited Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Missouri, and North Carolina. I was doing research on the changing nature of work in America. During my visits I spoke with many of the same people I had met twenty years before when I was secretary of labor, as well as with some of their grown children. I asked them about their jobs, their views about America, and their thoughts on a variety of issues. What I was really seeking was their sense of the system as a whole and how they were faring in it.What I heard surprised me. Twenty years before, many had expressed frustration that they weren't doing better. Now they were angry – at their employers, the government, and Wall Street; angry that they hadn't been able to save for their retirement; angry that their children weren't doing any better than they did at their children's age. They were angry at those at the top who they felt had rigged the system against them, and for their own benefit. Several had lost jobs, savings, or homes in the Great Recession following the financial crisis. By the time I spoke with them, most were back in jobs, but the jobs paid no more than they had two decades before in terms of purchasing power.   I heard the term “rigged system” so often that I began asking people what they meant by it. They spoke about the bailout of Wall Street, political payoffs, insider deals, CEO pay, and “crony capitalism.” These complaints came from people who identified themselves as Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. A few had joined the Tea Party. Some others had briefly been involved in the Occupy movement. Yet most of them didn't consider themselves political. They were white, Black, and Latino, from union households and non-union. The only characteristic they had in common apart from the states and regions where I found them was their positions on the income ladder. All were middle class and below. All were struggling. They no longer felt they had a fair chance to make it. With the 2016 political primaries looming, I asked them which candidates they found most attractive. At that time, the leaders of both parties favored Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush to be the Democratic and Republican candidates, respectively. Yet no one I spoke with mentioned either Clinton or Bush. They talked about Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. When I asked why, they said Sanders or Trump would “shake things up,” or “make the system work again,” or “stop the corruption,” or “end the rigging.”The following year, Sanders — a 74-year-old Jew from Vermont who described himself as a democratic socialist and who wasn't even a Democrat until the 2016 presidential primary — came within a whisker of beating Hillary Clinton in the Iowa caucus, routed her in the New Hampshire primary, garnered over 47 percent of the caucus-goers in Nevada, and ended up with 46 percent of the pledged delegates from Democratic primaries and caucuses. Had the Democratic National Committee not tipped the scales against him, I'm convinced Sanders would have been the Democratic Party's nominee. Trump — a sixty-nine-year-old egomaniacal billionaire reality TV star who had never held elective office or had anything to do with the Republican Party, and who lied compulsively about almost everything — won the Republican primaries and then went on to beat Clinton, one of the most experienced and well-connected politicians in modern America (granted, he didn't win the popular vote, and had some help from the Kremlin).Something very big had happened, and it wasn't due to Sanders's magnetism or Trump's likability. It was a rebellion against the establishment. That rebellion — or, if you will, revolution — continues to this day. Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush had all the advantages — deep bases of funders, well-established networks of political insiders, experienced political advisors, all the name recognition you could want — but neither of them could credibly convince voters they weren't part of the system, and therefore part of the problem. When I interviewed these people, the overall economy was doing well in terms of the standard economic indicators of employment and growth. But the standard economic indicators don't reflect the economic insecurity most Americans felt then — and continue to feel. Nor do they reflect the seeming arbitrariness and unfairness most people experience. The indicators don't show the linkages many Americans still see — between wealth and power, crony capitalism, stagnant real wages, soaring CEO pay, their own loss of status, and a billionaire class that has turned our democracy into an oligarchy. The standard measures also don't show that for four decades, Americans without a four-year college degree have worked harder than ever, but gone nowhere. If they're white and non-college, they've been on a downward economic escalator. Finally, the standard measures don't show what most Americans have caught on to — how wealth has translated into political power to rig the system with bank bailouts, corporate subsidies, special tax loopholes, shrunken unions, and increasing monopoly power, all of which have pushed down wages and pulled up profits.Much of the political establishment still denies what has occurred. They prefer to attribute Trump's rise solely to racism. Racism did play a part. But to understand why racism (and its first cousin, xenophobia) had such a strong impact in 2016, especially on the voting of whites without college degrees, it's important to see what drove the racism. After all, racism in America dates back long before the founding of the Republic, and even modern American politicians have had few compunctions about using racism to boost their standing. Richard Nixon's “law and order” campaign on behalf of “the silent majority” was an appeal to racism, as was Ronald Reagan's condemnation of “welfare queens,” and George H. W. Bush's use of Willie Horton against Michael Dukakis. Racism was also behind Bill Clinton's promises to “end welfare as we know it” and “crack down on crime.” What has given Trump's racism — as well as his hateful xenophobia, misogyny, and jingoism — particular virulence has been his capacity to channel the intensifying anger of the white working class into it. It is hardly the first time in history that a demagogue has used scapegoats to deflect public attention from the real causes of their distress, and it won't be the last. In 2016 Trump galvanized millions of blue-collar voters living in communities that never recovered from the tidal wave of factory closings. He understood what resonated with these voters: He promised to bring back jobs, revive manufacturing, and get tough on trade and immigration. “We can't continue to allow China to rape our country, and that's what they're doing,” he said at one rally. “In five, ten years from now, you're going to have a workers' party. A party of people that haven't had a real wage increase in eighteen years, that are angry.” Speaking at a factory in Pennsylvania in June 2016 he decried politicians and financiers who had betrayed Americans by “taking away from the people their means of making a living and supporting their families.”Worries about free trade used to be confined to the political left. But by 2016, according to the Pew Research Center, people who said free-trade deals were bad for America were more likely to be Republican. The problem wasn't trade itself. It was a political-economic system that had failed to cushion working people against trade's downsides or to share trade's upsides – in other words, a system that was rigged against them. Big money was at the root of the rigging. This was the premise of Sanders's 2016 campaign. It was also central to Trump's appeal (“I'm so rich I can't be bought off”) — although once elected he delivered everything big money wanted. It is well worth recalling that in the 2016 primaries, Bernie Sanders did far better than Clinton with blue-collar voters. He did this by attacking trade agreements, Wall Street greed, income inequality, and big money in politics.More to come on this, but it's getting late and I'm dead tired.
