That’s an interesting quote from LBJ. I hate to use the word but I think it’s important to clarify:

Was LBJ quoted by Ronald Kessler as saying, “I’ll have those niggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years” or “I’ll have those Negroes voting Democratic for the next 200 years”?

Because the former is clearly racist but the latter is not necessarily, especially at the time. But both variations fit, given the number of asterisks in the quote.

Does anyone know? Does anyone have the book?

He didn’t say “Negroes”. LBJ was a racist.
