According to Conservapedia, the Southern strategy is a Democrat conspiracy theory. In reality, it is an academic term that refers to Republican political strategies aimed at growing their electoral strength in the South in the 1960s and 1970s by appealing to white racist sentiment.
The RNC chairman apologized in 2005 on behalf of his party for Republicans historically ignoring the black vote and appealing to white racist sentiment.[1][2]
