| Description | Blacks and Whites Together--Focused on Education and Healthcare
by Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.
Historically, the Confederate flag is a symbol of the Democratic Party. Today, however, Republicans can fly and wave it, but Democrats can't talk about it--and current Democrats don't know how to handle it.
As a result, the symbol Howard Dean used got in the way of his substance, but his substance was on point--and the point was that Southern whites and blacks together must focus on their common economic needs: jobs, good schools, affordable healthcare.
Howard Dean has a new Democratic Southern strategy.
Democrats know the divide in the South is race. Republicans have exploited it. Democrats have evaded it. |
