Context apparently, this is Lee Atwater who appears to be explaining the #CampaignStrategySouthernStrategy devised to turn voters towards the US Republican Party and to elect #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSRichardNixon. His mention of 'coded' here has come to be known as a #MetaphorDogWhistle. He explains: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pL6lPdsCZIA&t=6s "Here's how I would approach that issue as a...psychologist, which I am not, is how abstract you handle the race thing. In other words you start out and -now ya'll don't quote me on this. You start out in 1954 by saying 'Nigger, nigger, nigger.' By 1968 you can't say 'Nigger,' that hurts you, it backfires. So you say stuff like, 'forced bussing,' 'states rights' and all that stuff. And you're getting so abstract now you're talking about 'cutting taxes' and all of these things you're talking about are totally economic things and the by-product of them is blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it, I'm not saying that. I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract and that coded then we're doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me? 'Cause obviously sitting around saying 'We want to cut taxes,' 'We want to cut this and we want-' is much more abstract than even the bussin thing...and a helluva lot more abstract than 'Nigger, nigger.'" #CauseActivismDesegregationBusing [Wikipedia] #CauseCivilRightsMovement

Context #MagazineHarpersBazaar "Our cultural institutions are facing a moment of trial. Powerful protests for racial and social justice are leading to overdue demands for police reform, along with wider calls for greater equality and inclusion across our society, not least in higher education, journalism, philanthropy, and the arts. But this needed reckoning has also intensified a new set of moral attitudes and political commitments that tend to weaken our norms of open debate and toleration of differences in favor of ideological conformity. As we applaud the first development, we also raise our voices against the second. The forces of illiberalism are gaining strength throughout the world and have a powerful ally in Donald Trump, who represents a real threat to democracy. But resistance must not be allowed to harden into its own brand of dogma or coercion--which right-wing demagogues are already exploiting. The democratic inclusion we want can be achieved only if we speak out against the intolerant climate that has set in on all sides. The free exchange of information and ideas, the lifeblood of a liberal society, is daily becoming more constricted. While we have come to expect this on the radical right, censoriousness is also spreading more widely in our culture: an intolerance of opposing views, a vogue for public shaming and ostracism, and the tendency to dissolve complex policy issues in a blinding moral certainty. We uphold the value of robust and even caustic counter-speech from all quarters. But it is now all too common to hear calls for swift and severe retribution in response to perceived transgressions of speech and thought. More troubling still, institutional leaders, in a spirit of panicked damage control, are delivering hasty and disproportionate punishments instead of considered reforms. Editors are fired for running controversial pieces; books are withdrawn for alleged inauthenticity; journalists are barred from writing on certain topics; professors are investigated for quoting works of literature in class; a researcher is fired for circulating a peer-reviewed academic study; and the heads of organizations are ousted for what are sometimes just clumsy mistakes. Whatever the arguments around each particular incident, the result has been to steadily narrow the boundaries of what can be said without the threat of reprisal. We are already paying the price in greater risk aversion among writers, artists, and journalists who fear for their livelihoods if they depart from the consensus, or even lack sufficient zeal in agreement. This stifling atmosphere will ultimately harm the most vital causes of our time. The restriction of debate, whether by a repressive government or an intolerant society, invariably hurts those who lack power and makes everyone less capable of democratic participation. The way to defeat bad ideas is by exposure, argument, and persuasion, not by trying to silence or wish them away. We refuse any false choice between justice and freedom, which cannot exist without each other. As writers we need a culture that leaves us room for experimentation, risk taking, and even mistakes. We need to preserve the possibility of good-faith disagreement without dire professional consequences. If we won't defend the very thing on which our work depends, we shouldn't expect the public or the state to defend it for us" (7 July #2020_). https://harpers.org/a-letter-on-justice-and-open-debate/

The dog whistle worked because it was heard and understood by the conservative white base, yet not by more moderate and northern whites. It meant activating racial resentment for one part of the population while denying that fact to the rest.
