Southern Strategy started during the Nixon era. However, the South was still significantly Democratic even in the Clinton era. It wasn't until George W. Bush that the South became solidly Republican. I would say religion had more to do with it than race. By 2000, the Democratic Party was seen as the party of secularism and the Republican Party the party of Christianity.
Here's the difference. Democrats want to give blacks the same 1/8 slice of the pie they keep shrinking. Republicans, at least ones like me, want to give them 1/8 slice of pie but make a bigger pie.
But since most blacks don't care about republicans or people like me, I don't care about them.
The southern strategy of the Republican Party is to treat black people as equal to whites and therefore capable of personal achievement. The southern strategy of the Democratic Party is to treat blacks as inferior to whites and therefore requiring hand-outs that will be provided by the Democratic Party.

Said it better than I ever could. The Republican Party is the best hope for anyone that is willing to work hard to better themselves. The GOP supports a free market, where one is entitled to the fruits of one's labor.
Increasingly, the GOP is focusing on protecting jobs in the US by cracking down on illegal immigration, which drives down the cost of labor unfairly for everyone else.
One thing the GOP does not stand for, however, is a devil's bargain: receiving benefits paid for by the taxpayer in exchange for votes. Yet that is precisely what Democrats do- very dehumanizing and patronizing, to say the least.

True. The GOP does not bribe voters. They live the JFK quote , while Democrats invert it.
Just show me all the democrat politicians that switched to the Republican Party in the 60's and 70's and I'll believe this myth that racist democrats became racist republicans.
