Granted LBJ loved saying n*****
but there is no evidence he said any of that above - and he said some sh!t
in fact he enjoyed calling the Civil Rights act that he supported "The n***** bill"
The guy was amazing in both wonderful and terrible ways
The 1st quote was according to historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, alledgedly told by Johnson to GA Senator Richard Russell.
The 2nd one was according to journalist Ronald Kessler in a book he wrote covering the White House, alledgedly told by Johnson to a couple of unnamed governors on Air Force 1.
So even IF neither were said, there’s the below:
“..In Flawed Giant, Johnson biographer Robert Dallek writes that Johnson explained his decision to nominate Thurgood Marshall to the Supreme Court rather than a less famous black judge by saying, “when I appoint a nigger to the bench, I want everybody to know he’s a nigger.”
According to Caro, Robert Parker, Johnson’s sometime chauffer, described in his memoir Capitol Hill in Black and White a moment when Johnson asked Parker whether he’d prefer to be referred to by his name rather than “boy,” “nigger” or “chief.” When Parker said he would, Johnson grew angry and said, “As long as you are black, and you’re gonna be black till the day you die, no one’s gonna call you by your goddamn name. So no matter what you are called, nigger, you just let it roll off your back like water, and you’ll make it. Just pretend you’re a goddamn piece of furniture.”...”

Yet the left wants to jump all over Reagan for saying ‘monkeys’, when they’ll give a pass to Johnson, from the same era, who probably never went a day without saying n*****..
