Extremely flawed FF and he's one of my favourite Presidents after FDR.
FF, he made the Democrats not racist.
“I'll have those n**gers voting Democratic for the next 200 years." -Lyndon Johnson
He was right about that. Besides, which party is the party full of racists now? And don't let the man's personal beliefs get in the way of anything.
That quote seems a bit unbelievable. It seems a bit counter-intuitive that he's a racist (which he technically was, but not to the degree I think people purport him to be) but he's glad to have black people voting for him? As he was signing the Civil Rights Act he also lamented that the Democrats had lost the South for a generation. So he's glad that black people will be voting Democratic even though it loses his own constituency? Both quotes can't be true.
