An absolutely insane and blunt interview with the famed republican Lee Atwater conducted and recorded by Alexander Lamis in which Atwater basically lays out how republicans can sway racist voters without sounding racist themselves.
It's absolutely shocking how cavalier Atwater when speaking about how to get the racist southern white vote, and how at some point race won't matter, instead economic issues will be the most important issue to voters. The fact he let a reporter record the conversation is probably even more shocking than what he said (it seems he probably said things like what in the interview all the time).
