I'm still stumped. What's the difference?

Sure, sometimes people do say it for that reason, other times, they genuinely believe it is a dumb question.

I just need to know what the current talking point is...

If you are going to post something like this, you might want to find a poster who actually said anything near what you claimed.

Why Sammy Davis Jr. was a Republican.

Nixon also corresponded with MLK Jr. and had tried to set up a meeting between MLK and Ike as VP, but Ike declined.

As for Reagan, he was also pro-diversity long before it was cool.

These false accusations against Republicans, the party that ended slavery, get old.

You are making the same tired argument over and over again, and the worst part is that it in no way backs up your claim.

Saying that Nixon liked Sammy Davis Jr. or vice versa doesnt mean the Southern Strategy didnt happen.

This is a deflection pure and simple.

If you believe the Southern Strategy is fake, then show how.
