LBJ helped stonewall civil rights stuff for decades, then, all of the sudden, the dude just becomes a civil rights champion? Same with Robert Byrd. Have you actually read anything about how they viewed blacks? LBJ said of Thurgood Marshall, "when I appoint a [BLEEP] to the bench, I want everybody to know he's a [BLEEP]." Does that sound like a guy who cares about the poor? Or is that a racist politician that knows how take advantage of public sentiment? This holds true for many of these political opportunists who were.... actually.... RACIST. The design of welfare is a trap, and the evidence is obvious if you look at the results. Even though they can't find audio of LBJ and his famous line, it fits perfectly within his character.
