you know lyndon johnson was famously racist, right? he may have done the right thing for people but it’s be a stretch to say he’s be rolling in his grave knowing we’ve resurrected racism.
"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

Lyndon Johnson certainly did pick white man’s pocket. When Lyndon was growing up his father hated the KKK. When Lyndon got to Congress there were still former KKK members in Congress. Jackie Kennedy asked Lyndon if he would continue JFK’s legacy of helping MLK. Lyndon promised he would and he kept his word. Equal Rights Amendment finally happened because Johnson fought for it.
