    In her book “The New Jim Crow,” Michelle Alexander (2010) argues that elites undermined the civil rights agenda by portraying the poverty and unrest in black inner-city communities in the 1960s as the product of inferior black culture (p. 45).

In building this social construction, Ronald Reagan appealed to white audiences with terms such as “welfare queens” and “predators” (Alexander, 2010, p. 48). Reagan’s terms were symbols, which Cochran and Malone (2010) note are often ambiguous, making it possible to broaden an idea by “appealing to people with diverse motivations and values” (p.…
