‘Tricky Dick’ Nixon’s Public Enemy No. 1
from Fraudsters Hosted by Seena Ghaznavi, Ariel Leaty, Justin Williams, Montel Williams, Sheila Vakharia, Anne Foster
In this episode, we’re diving deep into the art of linguistic manipulation with a profile on one of America’s most racist presidents: Richard Nixon. Last week, we covered how the war on drugs helped fuel a system of police corruption. This week, we’re looking at how Nixon used clever rhetoric and dog-whistle politics to push forward an agenda that has left a lasting impact in the US. We’re talking all things “Law and Order, ” “Southern Strategy,” and Black Capitalism. Tune in to hear how these phrases became instruments of control and deception– tools that are still in use today. It is just as horrific as it sounds!
