Describe in detail the backlash to the Civil Rights Movement from whites and explain how "racial polarization" (make sure to explain what this is) led to the creation of the "Southern Strategy." Think about the current presidential election campaign: can you see any instances of racial/ethnic or religious polarization occurring? Why do you think this strategy is so successful even today in the 21stcentury? Finally, explain "coded language" and discuss at least three ways in which it still commonly used (can use examples from media or personal observation). How do you (or did you) respond when you heard this coded language? Would you respond differently now - why or why not?
