Lyndon B. Johnson, while passing The Great Society stuff that ultimately helped destroy a lot of families via created dependency, famously said "I'll have those <blankers> voting democrat for 200 years".

Funny how Not. A. Single. Board. liberal. wants to touch that quote and what it means.

Not.
A.
One.

Why not? LBJ was a creature of his time. While the quote can't be verified, it is in keeping with his speech. He did use the word n!gger a lot. This was a guy who kept a picture in his office of Precinct Box 13 on the hood of a car surrounded by his fellows. The stories about that box are interesting and worth reading. He was a product of that Texas time.

What can be verified is, "We lost the South for a generation," and variations on that appear different places.
