Status Updates From The History of Politics and...

Most of what they professor is saying is correct or a reasonable interpretation. But here are there she says things that imply something else. For example, she talks about "dog whistle" phrases that tell whites that a politician is talking about black people without realizing that she is calling white people "dogs". When one is complaining about subtle insults one should not make a subtle insult back.

Again, the professor is misleading her students. Indeed, President Johnson signed into legislation many things that helped minorities, but only against the wishes of the Democrat Party including Al Gore Sr. To their credit, the Democrats cleared out most of the racists in their party who then became "Dixiecrats." I am wondering if the professor will mention that.
