yes, 2050 is up in the air, our betters would love for the transformation to take place yesterday. the fewer of us the better. LBj said something once of ruling for the next 200 years or something. I forget the exact quote.
The quote popularly attributed to LBJ was:
"I'll have those niggers voting Democratic for the next 100 (or 200) years."The oft‑repeated formulation — variously given as "200 years," "100 years," or "the next 30 years" — appears to originate in Ronald Kessler’s 1995 book Inside the White House and from unnamed sources reported there; it is not documented in LBJ’s recorded public remarks or in contemporaneous notes cited by major archives. Because a presidential utterance framed as cynical, racist political calculation would reshape popular judgment of Johnson’s motives for civil‑rights legislation, the provenance matters: the quote has been used to argue that passage of rights laws was a cynical electoral calculation rather than moral leadership or political necessity. - factually
