[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]President Lyndon Johnson expended considerable political capital to pass the most significant civil rights legislation in almost a century, which even today is considered a towering achievement. Yet White House tapes of LBJ’s phone conversations show that he sometimes used the n-word in conversations with some of his former Southern colleagues in the Senate. Should LBJ be cancelled? History is messy.[/quote] Racism is system of structural privilege that is distinct from being a bigot. It's possible to not be bigoted but still support racism. Or, as in Johnson's case, it's possible to be anti-racist in your actions but bigoted in your personal views. Or it could be that he just played the role of a bigot to put others at ease. [/quote] So does that mean things can be named after him or no?[/quote]
