Also LBJ's use of the "N" word was prevalent. So yes, he was a civil rights hero but also a racist.
LOL, so, the civil right bill was signed by a racist. Ha-ha-ha, soo funny. At least the KKK are honest, a KKK guy will NEVER sign a civil right bill because he's racist and will let you know about it. Again Malcolm did uncover this type of behavior amongst White liberals by underlining the seriousness of the situation. He said the most dangerous man is the one who will not let you know where he stands. And this is so true about LBJ.

Johnson's War on Poverty program was highly successful, only to be ended so we'd have more money for the Vietnam War, which led to Johnson's ignominious departure from politics. I would argue that Lincoln was the best president ever for African Americans with LBJ second. Regardless, LBJ was still a good ole Texas boy when it came to American hegemony and White Supremacy. So much has been said about lbj's shameful actions in Vietnam that we forget about his other dirty work. For example, check out his record in the Dominican Republic: https://jacobin.com/2015/04/dominican-republic-occupation-united-states-1965/

Leave the man's head alone,..LOL!!
But Malcolm spoke ill of Lyndon B.Johnson despite the fact he signed the civil rights bill for MLK. He called him a "Dixiecrat" and viewed him as a "political con game". Previous Message
Best president for AAs EVAR..
In that sense, he was blacker than Barack Obama!
Unfortunately his legacy is being weighted down by the Vietnam war..
RIP
But what's wrong with his head? Shit is as big as a Texas watermelon! Sheesh
