Martin Luther to borrow from another thread.  Also maybe Teddy Roosevelt for some of his racial views and belief in imperialism...

The CRA was less the result of conscious action by LBJ than it was action on the streets by activists who risked their lives to see it become a reality. Any person in office who didn't sign off on that risked political suicide, which is something I think LBJ readily understood.

LBJ didn't do all that Civil Rights stuff for only political reasons; his own anti-racism was also a factor.

You would have a point if he hadn't been a huge racist...
