17/23 Yep, #TrickyDicky had won one of the largest landslide wins ever!
Of course, Nixon was going to Nixon, and his historic success was short-lived and largely forgotten. Sure, the #WatergateScandal sank his administration, but I think Nixon's popularity doesn't come up a lot because it might draw attention to his #SouthernStrategy, #ShirleyChisholm, and the Democratic Party SWITCHING to "the party of Black people".
At any rate, the denouement, the coup de grace, came from #RonaldReagan.

16/23 But the biggest tipping point (and the one most conveniently forgotten) was 1972. Ready for this?
#ShirleyChisholm, a Black woman, ran for the Democratic presidential ticket โ the horror!
Phillips said: "White Democrats will desert their party in droves the minute it becomes a black party."
Yep, he said that.
Chisholm didn't win, but she didn't have to - white Democrats drove 2x loser Republican Nixon one of the largest presidential election #landslide wins in #AmericanHistory.

I want history to remember me... not as the first black woman to have made a bid for the presidency of the United States, but as a black woman who lived in the 20th century and who dared to be herself. I want to be remembered as a catalyst for change in America.

I am so excited about this social media series on unsung style icons. One of them I'll be talking about is Shirley Chisholm. She had incredible style and I love this quote I found. ๐ #shirleychisholm #strongwomen #iconsofstyle

#WhiteSupremacy loved the church, until their slaves claimed eligibility for salvation in Christ.
They loved cities and factory jobs, until Black folks moved in and showed up for work.
Education was cool, until schools were desegregated.
They eschewed gun control, until #BlackPanthers strapped up.
They were Democrats until #ShirleyChisholm ran for the presidential ticket in 1972 powering Nixon's landslide victory, the biggest in US history.
