The late Lee Atwater, wherever he is, must be in awe of the new techniques of racial politics practiced by the Republican Party, which is little more than a front for White Narcissism. He outraged the left by using euphemisms when he meant Blacks. Jesse Jackson summoned up this strategy with his famous quote, “The Bus Is Us” meaning that when Republicans discussed Busing they really had Black encroachment in mind. This was seen as an improvement over using the old N-word strategy to win elections. Lee Atwater put it this way: “

You start out in 1954 by saying, “Nigger, nigger, nigger.” By 1968 you can’t say “nigger”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and 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.… “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “Nigger, nigger.”*

When accused of Racism in the 50s and 60s, those whose politics leaned rightward would deflect from the charge with the dubious cliche of “ some of my best friends are Black” which became a gag on late night shows.

Today’s right has gone beyond euphemisms and clichés. Theyare original, and most of all well funded. Today’s right boasts of a more intimate connection to those whom they scapegoat.

A columnist who is opposed to immigration pleads that his daughters are dating Mexican-Americans. A public intellectual whose foundation receives money from the right says that he has Blacks in his extended family.
