Yup. LBJ even would change how he said the n word depending on which he was talking to at the time. Even called his civil rights bill "the n!gger Bill.
first, a lot of these stories are apocryphal.
Second, at the end of the day, he did the right thing, and Southern White reacted by joining the GOP, who had no problem embracing racism.
So if you look at the 1964 bill as that key moment when the GOP decided they would embrace racism, and the democrats decided they would fight it, to the point now where the GOP is defending statues of old dead racists. you know, the ones Lincoln put the beat down to.
No, not really. Racist is racist, and multiple folks relay the same stories about his racism.
