Was Lyndon Baines Johnson's Great Society Plan the closest we have been to reparations as a people?

[Nkrumah Was Right]

LBJ could have been in the top five presidents but escalating the Vietnam War ruined his legacy.

I’m sure some could say the same about Joe Biden but for Gaza

History, it rhymes

i need to read that super long book series on this dudes life

They’re dense as fukk. Finishing one is like

And the crazy part is that Caro’s not even done yet! He’s still working on the last one, but he’s pushing 90, so he’s racing against Father Time.

They spent all that $$$ from the late 40s and 50s on that dumb azz quagmire called Vietnam and never recovered. Been floating checks ever since.

These policies are transformative and would benefit everyone.

I know dude had warts and all, "n******* voting one thousand years" and Vietnam


But democrats need to talk about this cac more and honor his legacy.

I had a similar thread earlier this year and nikkas called me a c00n. But I honestly agree with you on this one

shyt was different

Same dudes crying about Nam or Ukraine today

Would have been calling LBJ all sorts of bytch for letting the Vietnamese pull the West's card


Sidenote:
People talking about Nixon like he didnt torpedo Vietnam peace talks for political gain. Which was legitimately treason and probably worse than Watergate

Low key at some point we are going to find out Trump did something during this election. Personally if I had a bet the republicans told Israel to ignore Biden cause once they got in they could do whatever they want.

Trump was the piece of shyt who moved the capital to Jerusalem as a sign of support with the Zionist.

I don’t post this elsewhere cause people Are dying in real time, but I 100% believe Israel did what it did to support Trump. Other antagonist countries love Trump too because the idiot literally attack American Hegemony, globalization, and the Marshall plan. The more xenophobic America is the more they can do whatever they want without consequences or the threat of American involvement.

Dems are never going to honor LBJ's legacy due to Vietnam lol. Without that glaring flaw, he's damn near FDR 2.0.

Vietnam was Kennedys war though..

If the north stayed in the occupied states after executing rebel generals, politicians, and other members with power, things would be VERY different for black people. The great society wouldn't need to exist and Malcolm X and Martin Luther king would probably have just remained faith leaders and writers.

If there's a sequel to the civil war, we might need the UN to step in to protect people's rights during the second reconstruction.

I don’t think there will be a second civil war. Just a lot of civil unrest. Like the late 1960’s…. Or you know Trumps last term as president.

I think Republicans will try to pull an American style Brexit and people will tear this motherfukker up until it’s understood that the majority of Americans didn’t vote for trump and they sure as fukk didn’t give him a mandate to do the shyt he is trying.

I don't think it helped but I don't think the Palestinian conflict moved the needle like people on the internet wish it did.

I think, unfortunately, people don't want a woman president nor a black one.

I definitely believe crash out countries benefit from MAGA and are happy to adjust their diplomacy accoridngly.
