He was talking about “white niggers”, so that doesn’t count.

Did LBJ, or any Demoacrat, ever apologize for these?

“I apologize for the following language but we have to understand the truth that is not being told any longer. The following quotes are LBJ quotes:”
“I’ll have those niggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years.” —Lyndon B. Johnson to two governors on Air Force One -
“These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference.”—LBJ
You can find this in Ronald Kessler’s “Inside The White House”
