There's no evidence that LBJ said that. That quote came from a book written by Ronald Kessler decades later. {NihlisticKeanuReeves}

If you think Republicans are the most racist political party you've got an extraordinarily poor understanding of US history.
leodavinci1
Flip the races around & make it about votes instead of money, and you'll see what it's really about. LBJ was a racist player of both sides.

He had an amphicar and intentionally drove into a lake with guests aboard and told them the brakes were shot to get a reaction.

The origin of "Johnson"

I always wondered about his portrayal in The Butler(where he shits with the door open while giving orders to people).I guess not inaccurate.

My only regret is I was not able to take this into negative numbers (its currantly at +2 I leave the good work to you all)

We are all equal, but some of us are a little bit more equal than others.
heyjohnnyjohnny
Men are so simple of mind& so much dominated by their immediate needs, a deceitful man will always find plenty who are ready to be deceived.
leodavinci1
Or willing to be deceived. I shouldn't be surprised, but the blind loyalty of democrats I know just astounds me. They simply refuse 1 of ?
leodavinci1
to accept or recognize negatives about Hillary even when provided media reports. "It's lies!" is the typical response. It's insane.
Glumerlink
Johnson has some very conspiracy theory things attached to his uh...interaction with the minority communities
Steelwhip
he was a full on racist
EzraFell
No, he wasn't. Strom Thurmond, and Barry Goldwater were racists.
leodavinci1
Goldwater was not a racist. That's Democratic revisionism.

I don't think that's quite what Kennedy had in mind when he started his Great Society program...

The Great Society was LBJ's baby.

LBJ did more for civil rights than any president since Lincoln.
leodavinci1
True... but some of the Equal Rights Act was't so much about extending equal rights as it was about extending federal power.

the blacks from the country and return them to Africa (Liberia established for that exact purpose).

Lincoln didn't free the slaves for any sense of human decency. He did it purely as a war measure to hurt his opponent and intended to deport
ashipthatshipsshippingships
It would say it wasn't entirely a war measure. At first, it was. You're correct. But his views evolved over time.
bond100
It was absolutely entirely a war measure. Limited very specifically to only those states which were in rebellion and not the border slaves
bond100
Whatever his personal views may have been, his policy decisions and plans were explicitly clear, and designed to be so.
ECV1850
So youre saying whites are easily decieved and stupid? Clearly youre racist. Stupid breeds stupid. Youre no better than them.
ECV1850
Excuse me.....you just agree with this.
EzraFell
I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but Lyndon B Johnson was white/caucasian and not blue like the picture displays him.
circuspandabear
It's a smurfy picture though.
ECV1850
Thats right.....keep focusing on the color.
EzraFell
Tell an insecure person their problems are the fault of someone they hate or dislike and they will believe you. Serious enough for you?
EzraFell
The irony is that you focus on the given colors in this quote and you can't see the entire picture you biased bigot.

You can control a lot of things once you make it an us verse them scenario.

It may be because of Obama and Hillary, but liberals seem the best at it.

The entire reason the country thinks that because the two main parties nominate someone, you have to vote for one of them.

snicklefritz2
Tell the left that....
Cheesecakecrush
I try to. Too many of them around here, downvote comments that don't align with their worldview
TheMightyMoto
I think the bring problem here is anything positive said by either side is downvoted to hell.
TheMightyMoto
Tell that to either side.

You've just summed up all of politics.

Politics is about resolving the issues between the us and the them groups. If you want to use force, you embellish the differences.
leodavinci1
Some issues are not resolvable. Politicians take advantage of this by playing idealists against pragmatists and vice versa.
