No, Johnson gets no pass, except that he did do some good. When it comes to history, presentism is a sin, but I'm not like Sano, I'm not vulgar in my approach. It's never been any secret what LBJ was, thus I point to the Precinct 13 box on the hood of the car. That you walk right past that is telling.

And this line:
He (Johnson) only promoted and signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the 1965 Voting Rights Act because he thought it was politically expedient.

Your BS detector should go off here. There was nothing politically expedient about those acts.
