Good intentions that went horribly wrong. A Social Experiment resembling Pavlov's dog for sure.

Yeah right Lyndon Snowjob Johnson.
It wan't good intentions.......the democrat party had been murdering and abusing black Americans since the days of slavery, and had been fighting against every single Civil Rights act up to the last 2...and johnson himself voted against anti-lynching laws......so johnson realized they had to do something to get the votes of blacks.......and to keep them voting for democrats even though the democrats were the party of racism and violence.
Was he successful? Yes......the democrat party has managed to destroy the black family, and through this, they have kept blacks voting for democrats ever since...
