You clearly know nothing about this.Johnson was a man born in Texas in the beginning of the 20th century. O f course he used the word n1gger. Everyone from that period and place used the word.
But Johnson started his career teaching poor Mexicans in school and had an affinity for groups who suffered from discrimination.
Your arguments are facile and without substance.
My favorite story about LBJ(and I think I have this right) was about when he was a teacher- and found out that the janitor was illiterate, and either came early or stayed late every day to teach this minority janitor how to read and write.
LBJ was no saint. But he considered the passage of 1964 Civil Rights Act his finest accomplishment.
Then you should support the Trump family as Trump's son Eric has given about 28 million to a children's hospital to take care of sick children. That's a lot more than any Clinton has ever done.
I think if Eric Trump did that, he is to be commended.
But he is not LBJ, and Eric Trump didn't pass the 1964 Civil Rights Act., nor did Donald Trump.
No, it was the Republicans who finally got enough pressure on the Democrats to do it. This was the third attempt and it was Dr Martin Luther King who put enough social pressure on the Democrats to force their hand.
Republicans didnt care about civil rights for blacks because most Republicans represented states with few blacks.
What a liberal hack you are. The Civil Rights Act of both 1957 and 1960 were pushed in Congress by Republicans and LBJ and the democrats fought against it. Try a history book. You might learn the truth.
