He probably wouldn't have liked real liberals like Patrick Moynihan and Hubert Humphrey, who beat back the radicals in the Democratic Party and defeated the quota systems and put sunset clauses in most of the Civil Rights legislation and lost the 1968 elections over their fights, only to see Nixon come along and within months and made most of them permanent and nationwide. Most don't realize the original legislation only applied to southern states, not the entire country.
New York and California still had literacy tests, and Harlem had black voting percentages that resembled Mississippi's throughout the era, until Nixon expanded the rights to the entire country. That's when we got to see that the North and spent the 1950's and 1960's re-segregating and watch on TV while all those 'enlightened and better educated white Yankees tossing fire bombs at school busses, the same 'sophisticates' who sneered at the ignorant hicks down South until the shit hit their back yards. Yankee Land and California still have race riots today.
