Finding race at the heart of a Republican speech is like finding lust at a nudie bar. As veteran Black politico Kevin Alexander Gray so often reminds us, race has been at the center of everything the GOP has done since Nixon’s 1968 southern strategy. For decades, the Right has been writing and ranting about something they call the Politics of Victimization, which compels Black people to feel that America “owes” them something for slavery and past discrimination. “Liberals” have fed this “pathology,” which has led to a “culture of dependency” and “entitlement” among African Americans, according to the Right’s script.
