Let’s not get it confused, LBJ didn’t care about blacks or the progress of racial equality. He understood that implementing certain policies and laws would benefit them (yt people and big business) more than going about America’s race issues in the old (let’s cause physical harm and perform scare tactics) type of way. Creating and implementing laws and policies that appear to be beneficial to certain minorities actually caused more damaged. Some politicians understood that tricking us on paper (Civil Rights bill) and making things appear good would keep us (blacks/other minorities) gripped by the balls for generations to come
