Why was LBJ so racist and very much a southern denocrat as a senator in the 1950s but then all of a sudden the biggest supporter of civil rights when he was president?

Sitting in the chair and shouldering responsibility for every American can change a man. As a senator you only have to represent a small tribalistic constituency fighting against others.
Justin Ross
To avoid another Radical Reconstruction to paraphrase the man himself. Whether he actually believes it, who knows, but it's what he told people that were close to him.
This guy is a fucking idiot too.
Jason Smith
The CIA told him that he could be president if he helped them kill Kennedy and did as he was told.

Elijah Ramirez
He was right too. As much of a piece of shit he was as a person, he was a brilliant politician.
Nicholas Lopez
LBJ was a black guy passing for white
Juan Rodriguez
He wasn't racist, just coarse
Daniel Jackson
my bad i thought you were talking about Hoover for a sec
Aiden Martinez
You can say nigger without believing human rights should he withheld from black people

>Piece of shit
How the fuck?

Herbert was rumored to be mixed race but there's no reason to believe them
J. Edgar on the other hand....

>Kennedy does nothing to advance black civil rights
>Nixon actively works against the civil rights movement
>Somehow despite all his work and legislation, LBJ's the true racist because he said "nigger" a few time

You should recheck your facts there, retardo.

LBJ is a ruthless thug and apolitical as far as to ascertain how to obtain power.
Lincoln Jenkins
Why do you think so?

>things he never actually said
Wow, you almost make Jim Crow sound palatable. Keep it up and maybe you'll get black people to vote GOP.
Ayden Miller
He wanted to avoid a second Reconstruction.

>it's a stealth "welfare plantations" thread
John Ortiz
He was more concerned with continuing with what JFK had begun in office (being a president by succession) than partisan politics. Kennedy pushed for Civil Rights and Johnson made it his job continue pushing.

LBJ was politician and it is really hard sometimes to know what he truly believed because he was playing the game
Evan Reed
He said them when he was speaking with Southerners as a way to say see I'm just like you. He was Texan but being a politician and all they probably though he wasn't "real".
Jackson Baker
>implying
He outright says that the reason it's tight in the crotch is because he got fat, not because of his balls.
Luis Martinez
Because he may have been a raciest but he knew what was the right thing to do. He recognized his position is really a civil servant to the american people, so not matter how much he hated certain people he knew he had to do the right thing no matter how much he hated to do it.
