  • LBJ passed civil rights ONLY to get the blacks voting democrat.

    -

    In a phone conversation (on tape at the LBJ Library) with Sen. Russell(D) of Georgia, LBJ said, "That'll keep the niggers voting Democrat for the next 200 years."

    -

    So, this is why it was done. The republicans tried to pass it in 1957, but LBJ, JFK, and Al Gore Sr. screwed it and voted against it.

  • Pres. Eisenhower(R) pushed to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1957, but LBJ(D) & friends screwed it to worthless. JFK(D) & Al Gore Sr.(D) voted against it.

    -

    LBJ’s real reason for civil rights legislation?

    In a phone conversation (on tape at the LBJ Library) with Sen. Russell(D) of Georgia, LBJ said, "That'll keep the niggers voting Democrat for the next 200 years."

    So, this is why it was done again in 64-65.

    -

    Republicans founded the Black Colleges and Universities, not the democrats.

  • Lyndon B Johnson should be stripped off all the credits he claimed as the president of america. He should be exhumed from his grave and dumped into the Indian ocean and be fed to the sharks.Disgraceful piece of history for the USA and the world.

  • Nothing like reading messages by people who know nothing about history and how the government works! So if LBJ passed Civil Right and Voting Rights to get Blacks to vote for the Democrats then I guess Eisenhower did not so that White people will vote the GOP! I wish people would THINK before they write things!!!

  • This Evil LBJ statement I believe refers to the murder of JFK

    "It is the Melancholy law of human societies to be compeled sometimes to chose a great evil in order to ward off a greater evil"

  • Obama wins

  • @Fart-her1046

    And don't forget johnson was a stone cold kiler.

  • I was in country in Naval Intelligence in 1965 and discovered we were not allowed to win the war. We could have won the war at any time but the directives from the White House were to perpetuate the war and every commander in that theater knew it. LBJ and his cronies were personally making millions off the US troops they were having killed. Honoring his memory in any way disgusts me.

  • @arther1046 Government stooge... for not swallowing Oliver Stone's fiction? Count me in, stooge it is.

  • @TennesseeOwnsMyBones Ohmy, your one of those 'government stooges' type people....Well, that says enough....

  • @arther1046 Oh my, you're one of those 'LBJ was in on the JFK assassination'-type people... Well, that say enough...
