I'm not necessarily convinced that this would even be effective. But even if it was, I'm kind of at the idea that the path forward is to pander to racists, which is basically what you're suggesting.

IMO the Alabama election showed that the left is better off just mobilizing their base to come out and vote instead of trying to appeal to the sensibilities of bigots who are likely to still vote Republican anyway.

Alabama showed a Republican can win as a Democrat. Doug Jones has said he wants to work across the aisle and definitely open to working with Trump. He's not a progressive policy maker. And he barely beat a known pedophile.
No one is saying be racist, just don't inflame their racist tendencies and give them no reasons not to actually hear your policy ideas that work for them. Like I said, would you rather be righteous and lose or strategic and win with a politician promoting progressive ideas?

Philadelphia before the 1960s is a prime example of this. The goal for Philadelphia public transportation was to expand to Northeast Philly via Subway etc... the whites denied it as they didn’t want any miniorirties having easy access to their neighborhoods.

Now Rosevelt Blvd is one of the worst roads in America.

Doug Jones wasn't out here winning white voters over though, he won almost entirely due to black turnout and an unusually bad opponent so I'd argue that his (close) win actually goes counter to your point.

Like you said, he's a Republican running as a Dem and he still didn't get much of the white vote despite his opponent.

Think about the infrastructure programs that were implemented during the heyday of white history in the U.S.

1. interstate highway system
2. rural electrification, tennessee valley authority
3. large dams
4. subway/rail systems

I bet if demographics were same today we'd have underground electrical lines, blazing broadband in every crevice of the country...mfers would be able to stream 4K porn from the Rockies, the grand canyon basin all the way to the deepest coal mine in WV lol

Did you expect anything else from the group that gave us Trails of Tears?

Until white mothers can reconcile their son isn’t entitled to the world, the “world” will continue to burn.

How? He's got nothing to do with my point, he didn't run on the strategy I'm promoting. You brought him up not me.
Blacks turned out in mass for him because his opponent was a well documented pedophile not anything he actually did. It's an anomaly that has nothing to do with what I'm talking about.

Even with blacks turning out em masse he won by only 20,000 votes. He won because more whites could reconcile voting for a pedophile.

People are always more willing to share with people who look like them or have a similar background. Figured this was pretty well documented at this point.

It seems like the more diverse a country gets, the more right-leaning the majority identity becomes in regards to economics.

The U.S. would have universal healthcare/education now if it was all white people IMO.

I don't think it's a white person thing, it's just a person thing.
