Welp, at least you're good at following instructions... ![]() ![]() |
+1000. LBJ's actions in support of civil rights and ending Jim Crow and toward promoting the Great Society speak volumes and volumes more than him using the now-antiquated southern language he grew up with. The PP trying to suggest otherwise is clearly a complete and utter moron for not seeing that. |
Well after centuries of having justices picked because they were white I have no problem with judges getting favored because they bring a different experience and pov to the court. |
Do you disagree he enabled anti-racist legislation to become law? |

Here you go again trying to sanitize this man's legacy just because he is on your team. The man was a massive, raging racist. You would not grant such grace to someone on the other "team" and are showing yourself to be an unprincipled, unserious hypocrite. It's funny how you can so easily brush aside the pernicious and wildly racist underpinnings of many of his utterances, let alone his actions. You are the type to cancel someone nowadays for something they did 30 years ago and provide no quarter for those words or actions being a "product of their time", yet sit here trying to grant LBJ the very same get out of jail free card that you so loathe when it is marshaled in defense of your political enemies. Girl bye! Biden's history of questionably racist commentary is well documented. |
You think he helped get those bills passed as part of some kind of moral enlightenment and out of the goodness of his heart? A lightbulb just went off all of a sudden after decades of well-documented racism? Get real... |
Would a "massive, raging racist" want to end racist Jim Crow regulations, end racial segregation and discrimination, and promote civil rights and equality for other races? And if you came up with any answer other than "no" then it shows how you are either seriously dishonest or deeply confused about the fundamental underpinnings and concepts of racism. And furthermore, stop making up fake accusations of who I would "cancel." - As we see right here it is in fact YOU who is trying to cancel LBJ, for using the 'n' word. Do not project your own nonsense onto others. |
No, YOU get real. It was YOUR side, the REPUBLICANS, and the racist southern Dixiecrats who switched sides to become Republicans, who voiced against and staunchly voted in opposition to LBJ civil rights legislation. That is an absolute fact. You do not have a leg to stand on here. Your side proved themselves to be the real racists, while LBJ and the remaining Democrats were the ones fighting to end Jim Crow and segregation and other racist policies. Trying to clam otherwise shows you to be at best completely unserious, at worst completely delusional or ignorant of history. |
Yes, they would. The same type who is a nakedly ambitious, power hungry political animal. The type that Lincoln said would either free slaves or enslave free men, in pursuit of their ambition, depending on the status quo ex ante. The kind that told civil rights leaders to "make me do it" with regard to critical civil rights legislation. Contrary to your balderdash, I am not trying to cancel LBJ at all, merely pointing out the complex man that he was and not shying away from the power of personal ambition and political calculus to achieve things in this sclerotic town. Your belief in the sincerity of politicians is kinda cute. |
Ohhh here we go with more of that deranged, cynical, sociopathic right wing mentality that nobody ever does anything to help anyone, and that it's all just "virtue signaling" (dumb right wing invented term) or "pandering." Thank you for yet again confirming your sociopathic tendencies. And as above, please stop projecting your own sociopathy onto others. |
Newsflash, genius. It is entirely possible for there to be racists in more than one party. Shocking, I know! Take a minute a wrap your head around that concept for a minute. |
What is NOT balderdash: It was YOUR side, the REPUBLICANS, and the racist southern pro-segregation Dixiecrats who switched sides to become Republicans, who voiced against and staunchly voted in opposition to LBJ civil rights legislation. That is an absolute fact. You do not have a leg to stand on here. Your side proved themselves to be the real racists, while LBJ and the remaining Democrats were the ones fighting to end Jim Crow and segregation and other racist policies. Trying to clam otherwise shows you to be at best completely unserious, at worst completely delusional or ignorant of history. Even if LBJ was trying to win votes, the fact is he did a lot of good for America. Your side instead clung to pure evil and actively fought to protect racist policies. |
Wow, mastery of the obvious. You continue to make yourself look stupid. Now let's get back to which side's actions were more consequential toward ending Jim Crow, segregation, redlining and other deeply racist policies. Hint: It was NOT the Republicans. Your attempts to #bothsides this is absolutely pathetic, dishonest, and frankly disgusting. |
You are so lost in the "my party is better than yours" sauce that you have forgotten the original premise upon which this discussion even began, which was the silly notion that just because Joe Biden picked a few minorities, he couldn't be racist. It's a false, silly premise. You were wrong. I have no desire to engage in your "my party is better than yours" moral member measuring contest. Do better. |
