So... what you're saying is that Mehlman apologized to the NAACP for something that didn't happen in the first place?

No, I'm saying he apologized for doing the same thing the Democrats do, but feel no need to apologize for.

He certainly wasn't apologizing for embracing Jim Crow.

I could have sworn that is what I said several threads back. Fascinating how we have to keep answering the same dumb questions over and over again. Perhaps it is due to your extreme lack of intelligence and honesty?
Dunce.

Meanwhile, we're all still waiting to hear what these alleged policies were that were designed to appeal to Jim Crow supporters.

Did Mehlman happen to mention any?

he was typically vague... but he certainly did feel the need to apologize to the NAACP for the past actions of the GOP in regards to black Americans... especially those that happened in the wake of the Southern Strategy. lol
 
I happen to take the man at his word. If the chairman of the RNC feels the need to appear before the NAACP and apologize for his party's actions vis a vis black Americans, I have to believe that there were actions that were worthy of said apology. Why would YOU think that the GOP would appoint a LIAR to be their party's chairman?

I would say a "coward." And the only reason the GOP picks cowards is to avoid drawing negative ire from the Democrats' Department of Propaganda; also known as the mainstream news media.

They won't challenge the "facts" peddled by the lamestream lapdog liberal news media. They are always in surrender mode.

Mehlman was apologizing for something he thinks may have happened 35 years earlier, which he had no inside information on.... other than what comes from the lamestream lapdog liberal news media. Some veteran McCain-type surrender machine underling may have uttered some Desh-type "fact" to Mehlman that was really nothing more than lapdog media supposition that aged into a "fact."

This is why thinking Republicans call themselves "conservatives."

As has been pointed out in this thread, the GOP didn't make major inroads into the south until about 30 years after Jim Crow was shut down. If anything, what was responsible was the radicalization of the rest of the Democrat Party post-1972 McGovern campaign. Seriously, which party has undergone more radical transformation nation-wide since 1972?

Understanding southern thinking as I somewhat do..... if anything irked them it would have been the virtual surrender of Vietnam. Both parties bore blame for it. When more liberal Democrats came out of the era, the party was less attractive to southerners. When more conservative anti-communist Republicans arrived, they offered what southerners were looking for.
