He did pass the civil rights bills for blacks though which southern conservatives were staunchly against.
Champion. A true Democrat. I'll tell you what's at the bottom of it. If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don't move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there'll be no way of stopping them, we'll lose the filibuster and there'll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation.

LOL I love how you plop this bullshit myth up there to exculpate the Dems of their obscene century of overt racism. As if their covert racism today isn’t obvious enough.
Being a southern white male he grew up a racist but ultimately ended up doing more for black people than any president other than Lincoln. If conservatives had their way blacks would still be slaves
LOL. Dems simply figured out that if you call your opponents ‘racists’, the voting public is too stupid to understand such projection. Dems of yesterday fought against the abolition of slavery, fought against the Civil Rights ACT and against desegregation. Dems have always been, and continue to be, the racist party of the USA.
The Dems of yesterday represented whites in the confederate south.Who represents whites in the confederate south now?
Whites in the confederate south fought against the abolition of slavery, fought against the Civil Rights ACT and against desegregation.
And why didn’t all your racist white Dems switch over to being Pubs after 64? Because they still voted Dem for a generation. The Southern Strategy is a false narrative perpetrated by modern racists (like Tony the board bigot Lefttard) to try and absolve the Democrats from their multi century long battle against the black people they long fought to keep enslaved. Today’s Dems are the real slave owners holding black folk on their Blue Plantation. LBJ was very smart. And very racist. Modern Dems are definitely the latter.
Whites from the southern confederate states from their multi century long battle against the black people they long fought to keep enslaved. The democrat party no longer represents whites from the southern confederate states 2016
