Why was LBJ so racist and very much a southern denocrat as a

Sitting in the chair and shouldering responsibility for every American can change a man. As a senator you only have to represent a small tribalistic constituency fighting against others.

To avoid another Radical Reconstruction to paraphrase the man himself. Whether he actually believes it, who knows, but it's what he told people that were close to him.

>>1496053
This guy is a fucking idiot too.

>>1496045
The CIA told him that he could be president if he helped them kill Kennedy and did as he was told.

>"I'll have those niggers voting democrat for two hundred years"

He was right too. As much of a piece of shit he was as a person, he was a brilliant politician.

>>1496045
LBJ was a black guy passing for white

>>1496045
He wasn't racist, just coarse

>>1496441
my bad i thought you were talking about Hoover for a sec

>>1496045
You can say nigger without believing human rights should he withheld from black people

>>1496384
>Johnson
>Piece of shit

How the fuck?

Herbert was rumored to be mixed race but there's no reason to believe them

J. Edgar on the other hand....

You should recheck your facts there, retardo.

LBJ is a ruthless thug and apolitical as far as to ascertain how to obtain power.

>>1498219
Why do you think so?

>human rights
>patronizing certain businesses is a human right

>things he never actually said

Wow, you almost make Jim Crow sound palatable. Keep it up and maybe you'll get black people to vote GOP.

>>1496045
He wanted to avoid a second Reconstruction.

He was more concerned with continuing with what JFK had begun in office (being a president by succession) than partisan politics. Kennedy pushed for Civil Rights and Johnson made it his job continue pushing.

>but interracial couples on TV is literally genocide

LBJ was politician and it is really hard sometimes to know what he truly believed because he was playing the game

>>1496463
He said them when he was speaking with Southerners as a way to say see I'm just like you. He was Texan but being a politician and all they probably though he wasn't "real".

>>1499897
>implying
He outright says that the reason it's tight in the crotch is because he got fat, not because of his balls.

>>1496045
Because he may have been a raciest but he knew what was the right thing to do. He recognized his position is really a civil servant to the american people, so not matter how much he hated certain people he knew he had to do the right thing no matter how much he hated to do it.
