    This is just one example of a low IQ human. It's amazing how many people we have currently in government and the justice system who say the most ignorant things. They DO the most ignorant things. And currently, we in America, don't really have any way to remove them with everything being controlled by the nefarious UN with Hilary and Obama. We're witnessing the dumbest group of individuals that use all types of condescending remarks for us. It's like watching a bunch of teenage girls with padded bras stab each other in the back. They just look stupid.

      The only witness was a White House worker who made money off saying such things happened. The Governors never spoke of it.

    Democrats like to deny he said this and say there is no proof? True, there's no document or tape of him saying it, But.
    The quote has been confirmed by several members of his own staff and it is well known that he used the "N" word regularly.

    A few years ago, I watched the video of LBJ saying to Richard Russell, "These negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something 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." AND "I'll have those n*ggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years."

    He said N*GGER. He SAID it. He was a DEMOCRAT. While it was contemporaneous, it illustrates the contempt Democrats have for blacks. Democrats think they OWE them.

      Brian Mary So you don't believe the testimony of multiple witnesses. What you say means nothing except that you're indoctrinated in how to deny truth. It was there; I saw it, many others saw it. The left pulled it because it is evidence against LBJ's evil nature and they don't like evidence stacking up that proves their evil actions. It's like a child caught with his hand in the cookie jar denying it only because he doesn't want the heat coming down on him. Pitiful!

      You have one source, Kessler's book. I asked for someone who actually heard it.

      Yes, HE attributed it to Robert MacMillan. Yet all we have is Kessler's claim that MacMillan told it to him. I googled Macmillan and got nothing about him other than quotes about LBJ he supposedly repeated. I don't even know if he is alive. Nothing else.

      The important thing is that no governors have denied he made the statement, even well after he passed away.
      1 -- I'm pretty sure they've narrowed down the "two governors" to a few options, due to the need to be alone with two dem governors, during the general time when this was being pushed.
      2 -- Those possible governors both passed away never having DENIED he said it in their presence, either. Given that one would think this the best thing to do if it were true -- while confirming it would be "speaking ill of the dead" -- it is particularly odd that they did not deny it, if he didn't say it. The implication is clear: He said it, no question or doubt.

      ASK THE OTHER WAY:
      Why would two democratic governors say he never said any such thing?
      Perhaps they were not seeking to speak ill of the dead by confirming it, but too honest to lie and say he never said it when he did.

      He said himself he was, until he became a teacher, teaching minority children.
      People who got self righteous did not accomplish much. Using the prejudice against them was a tactic.
      Truman grew up in a former slave state, not long after the civil war. One of the most bigoted places in the world. After WWI and WWII he had seen the heroism of black soldiers, and the violence against them when they came home. which was part of the reason he integrated the military.
