The real history of LBJ and Race, Goebbles would be proud

[Howey]

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it." -- Josef Goebbles

"Democrats are unwavering in our support of equal opportunity for all Americans. That’s why we’ve worked to pass every one of our nation’s Civil Rights laws..." -- Democrats.org

I keep getting challenged to back up the LBJ quotes in my sign line and even though Ive done so repeatedly (I still get no credit for leaving out LBJ's "uppity Negroes" quote), I thought now would be a good time to once and for all lance the stinking boil of Democrat lies around Civil Right Hero LBJ.

In short, LBJ was as racist, always was, always will be. He was Senate Majority Leader when President Eisenhower put forth a Civil Rights Bill and Voting Rights Bill and send in the 82nd Airborne to Little Rock to make the Democrat Governor comply with integrating the public schools.

LBJ knew that the South could not keep blacks down forever and that should the Republicans be successful in pursuing the passage of Civil Rights and Voting Rights, Dems would lose the black vote forever.

Again, in order to break the racist ways of Southern Democrats, it was Republican President Eisenhower who sponsored both Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act and it was LBJ lead Senate who fought tooth and nail against them. Ike finally signed a watered down Civil Rights Bill. Yes, let me repeat that, Republican President Dwight Eisenhower sponsored and signed the first Civil Rights Bill. Did you know that?

"Civil rights became a critical concern during Eisenhower’s administration. In 1954 the Supreme Court ruled that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional, but the decision was not universally accepted. The people of the South resisted, and racial tensions mounted. In 1957 the governor of Arkansas ordered National Guard troops to prevent a group of African-American students from enrolling at an all-white high school in Little Rock. Eisenhower was forced to send federal troops to escort the new students to school. Eisenhower also proposed and signed the Civil Rights Act of 1957, which was intended to guarantee the voting rights of all African Americans. This was the first civil rights legislation to pass since Reconstruction. It was followed by the Civil Rights Act of 1960, which was an attempt to further strengthen voting rights by mandating federal inspection of local voter registration polls."

Dwight D. Eisenhower (Ike)

When he became President after participating as a co-conspirator in the assassination of JFK, LBJ had a chance to co-opt the Civil Rights Legislation as his very own, knowing full well he was trading the white votes in the South for the black votes throughout the nation. Eisenhower would have only lost the white votes in the South which was solid Democrat KKK Country anyway.

"This civil rights program about which you have heard so much is a farce and a sham--an effort to set up a police state in the guise of liberty. I am opposed to that program. I fought it in the Congress. It is the province of the state to run its own elections. I am opposed to the anti-lynching bill because the Federal Government has no business enacting a law against one kind of murder than another...(And) if a man can tell you who you must hire, he can tell you who not to employ. I have met this head on." Austin, Texas May 22, 1948 quoted in Quotations from Chairman LBJ, Simon and Schuster, NY 1968

"...LBJ biographer Robert Caro notes that prior to 1957, Johnson “had never supported civil rights legislation—any civil rights legislation,” including anti-lynching legislation. His private behavior toward blacks was appalling. Robert Parker, LBJ’s longtime black employee and limousine chauffeur, claims that Johsnon blasted him daily with a blizzard of bigoted slurs. And even as LBJ was being praised by liberals for his appointment of Thurgood Marshall to the Supreme Court, behind closed doors LBJ’s cynical brand of “identity politics” became clear. As presidential historian Robert Dallek recounts, LBJ explained his decision to a staff member by saying, “"Son, when I appoint a ****** to the court, I want everyone to know he's a ******."

The LBJ "voting against anti lynching" quote is found in several place including the Senate record and his campaign speeches.

"I'll have those ******* voting Democratic for the next 200 years." -- Lyndon B. Johnson to two governors on Air Force One Ronald Kessler's "Inside The White House"

"These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference.” -- LBJ

Quotes From Democrats On Race & Anti-Semitism - Right Wing News (Conservative News and Views)

Who on here has claimed LBJ wasn't racist? I didn't. I saw The Butler.

Fact is, LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act. That's all that counted. The Republican who created the Act are Democrats today.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Give us some mainstream credible historians and institutions instead of the loony bins where this information is reported.

The facts remain that JFK and LBJ were responsible for transforming civil rights in America, and the GOP senators and congressmen had to be threatened with losing all the pork in their districts if they did not go along with the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.

The facts remain that the South was forever transformed for the better by the courage of LBJ and the northern and western portions of the Democratic Party that told the South, "you will change or you will die."

The Southern racists crumbled, almost all fleeing to the Republican Party.

Democrat operatives sure have a twisted view of history.

You are entitled to your mistaken view of American history.

Excellent, accurate rebuke of Frank's nonsense.

We need to get our Republican Party back to his historical standards instead of the twisted and mistaken mishitory of the far right.

George BOOOOOSH! moved to Texas...He is and always was an east coast establishment country club type.

LBJ was issued a hood and robe at birth.

Noooooo sirrrrrrr, Bush has his very own cowboy hat and boots!!!

Bush II would not even be considered a drug store cowboy where I came from.

This thread was posted wayyyyyyyyyyyy before "The Butler"

Fact is, LBJ Held up Ike's Civil Rights Act, set back civil rights for 7 years.

Keep lying about that whole "Decent Republicans are now Democrats"

 

[JakeStarkey]

LBJ Held up Ike's Civil Rights Act is the lie.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

LBJ Held up Ike's Civil Rights Act is the lie.

No, it isn't, Jake.

It's the truth

He called it "The ****** Bill" too

Quit denying, Frank. No one is denying that LBJ had a racist past to overcome, and he did it wonderfully well.

 

[Freewill]

LBJ Held up Ike's Civil Rights Act is the lie.

Gosh Jake do you have to make your party affiliation so damn obvious? What are your sponsors going to think?..

I guess you could say that Johnson supported a very watered down bill.

The 1957 Civil Rights Act

The Democratic Senate Majority Leader, Lyndon Baines Johnson from Texas, realized that the bill and its journey through Congress could tear apart his party, whose southern bloc was anti-civil rights and northern members were more pro-civil rights. Southern senators occupied chairs of numerous important committees due to their long seniority. Johnson sent the bill to the judiciary committee, led by Senator James Eastland from Mississippi, who proceeded to change and alter the bill almost beyond recognition. Senator Richard Russell from Georgia had claimed the bill was an example of the federal government wanting to impose its laws on states. Johnson sought recognition from civil rights advocates for passing the bill, while also receiving recognition from the mostly southern anti-civil rights Democrats for reducing it so much as to kill it.[6]

Civil Rights Act of 1957 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johnson was a flaming racist whose only interest in black was to placate them and make them democrat voters which turns out he was successful. Why is anyone's guess.

Proof is in his own words: "These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don't move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there'll be no way of stopping them, we'll lose the filibuster and there'll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It'll be Reconstruction all over again." --Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson (D., Texas), 1957

Telling the truth is not shilling for anyone, Frank.

And the quote you use is quite questionable.
