THIS.

Even dumber when there are full-black candidates who have a record just as bad as Kamala. So what would be the point?





That's the craziest shyt about the whole 100% Black argument, is that all the Black female candidates are centrists or have sketchy records of actually defending Black folk. The best Black candidate in the mix was Booker and he just had no mojo. Warren actually has the best pro-Black agenda of any of the options and she's 99.3% White and 0.7% Cherokee.

Of course it's a real quote. How can a quote be fake? Do you even know what the word "quote" means? lol

The source maybe questionable and a mixture of truth and myths, but the "quote" itself is real, dummy!

"This quote appears on page 155 of Goodwin’s LBJ biography. The utterance was made to Richard Russell, a fellow Democratic Senator from Georgia.

The source of the “200 years” quote is Ronald Kessler’s 1995 book Inside the White House. Kessler got the quote from Robert MacMillan, an Air Force One steward who said LBJ uttered this comment to two governors during a conversation on the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Snopes, a fact-checking website, states “there’s little evidence to back up” the quote.

It’s a strange claim since Snopes admits the quote “wouldn't have been entirely out of character for LBJ” and other sources corroborated many of the other “juicy tidbits” MacMillan gave Kessler (such as LBJ’s penchant for walking around nude in the presence of others)."

So why doubt the quote’s authenticity?

Snopes brings into question MacMillan’s veracity, noting that “Luci Baines Johnson flatly denied MacMillan's claim that when she was a teenager she once screamed at him to go ‘Find my n*gger’ (i.e., her servant) and threatened to slap him if he didn't.

It must not have occurred to Snopes that many people would “flatly deny” such a claim. The fact-checking outfit, which has a notable left-leaning tilt, seems primarily concerned with defending the idea that LBJ’s action on civil rights was anything but “genuine idealism.” They ignore or overlook the following facts to reach this conclusion:

  1. Kessler’s source is historically sound (a firsthand account from an eyewitness).
  2. LBJ’s paternal and racist rhetoric toward African Americans (his fondness for the use of the word “n*gger” is well documented) casts some doubt on the idea that his motivations on civil rights were altruistic.
  3. Luci Baines Johnson, who likely heard her father use racial epithets, would have motivation to deny any racist utterances she might have made.
  4. Goodwin’s quote confirms that LBJ possessed a well-honed political calculus on the issue of civil rights.
  5. If LBJ said what MacMillan claimed, MacMillan's “editorializing” comments, which Snopes frowned upon, make sense. (MacMillan used the words “phony” and “ploy” to characterize LBJ’s motivations on the Civil Rights Act of 1964.)
  6. Numerous historians have LBJ on the record referring to the Civil Rights Act of 1957 as “the n*gger bill,” a phrase that runs counter to altruism on civil rights.
  7. One can imagine LBJ saying what MacMillan claims he said, especially if LBJ was trying to whip up support for his bill among reluctant Democrats.
We likely never will know for certain if LBJ said what MacMillan claims, but Snopes’ case falls short of casting serious doubt on the testimony of an eyewitness account."

Did LBJ Say, ‘I’ll have those n*ggers voting Democratic for 200 years’?

Yep. I've been saying this. Biden should have never boxed himself into a corner by promising a woman VP.

None of the black women candidates being considered are qualified. These black media types are trying to guilt trip Biden into picking one of these women.

No. But she's on the short list.

Just a feeling but if he picks her Trump wins.

I explained to him, in detail, why the quote would have been illogical as fukk from a political strategic perspective. And Snopes had much the same argument. He ignored it.

He also ignored that the quote didn't appear for the first time until over 30 years after it was supposedly said, was made by a guy who was obviously biased, had zero other witnesses backing it up, and the one guy who made the claim couldn't even say who LBJ had said it to.

Why would LBJ want to lose Democratic power across the entire South in order to win the votes of Black people? Racist White folk have some or all the power in EVERY state. Black folk don't control ANY state.

This was the 1960 election map:

The MAIN power for Democrats was in the South. They had Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Arkansas, and Missouri. That was their fukking base. What the hell is the rationale where LBJ strategically throws all those states away in order to gain Black votes when practically all the Black votes are in the states he just threw away or in other states (Illinois, Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland) that he already had, and hardly help him at all in the other states?
