re: Have you seen "All the way" featuring LBJ in 1964? (HBO)

He was a piece of shite who destroyed the black nuclear family, .

This is his lasting legacy and is the source of all the racial division we have today. Blacks should hate him.

he was also a murderer

Interesting.

My grandfather (born in 1870 and died in 1962 before LBJ became POTUS) absolutely hated the man. I grew up being taught that LBJ was the worst human alive, and that yes, he was a murderer. My grandfather claimed that his early political success were accomplished by a series of murders.

And my grandfather was a rock solid Democrat - as was almost every other person in the south in the first half of the last century. The excesses of Reconstruction was very fresh on their minds at that time.
