Lyndon Johnson was a vulgar racist, he also escalated a bogus war of foreign aggression in Viet Nam.

Some people suspect him of "cooperating" with JFK's murderers too.

"Civil rights" are not rights though, they are legislatively granted privileges for some people to force other people to serve them, even when the server would prefer not to.

Because they advocate a form of forced servitude, they are a form of slavery. Nobody has the right to initiate forced servitude against an unwilling person do they ?
"Though LBJ had been a product of the South and had opposed civil rights legislation earlier in his career, he had come to fully embrace the cause of civil rights with a religious zeal, pushing the Civil Rights Act of 1957 while serving as Senate majority leader and then as President moving the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 through the Congress."

Modern industrial civilization has developed within a certain system of convenient myths. The driving force of modern industrial civilization has been individual material gain, which is accepted as legitimate, even praiseworthy, on the grounds that private vices yield public benefits in the classic formulation.

Now, it's long been understood very well that a society that is based on this principle will destroy itself in time. It can only persist with whatever suffering and injustice it entails as long as it's possible to pretend that the destructive forces that humans create are limited: that the world is an infinite resource, and that the world is an infinite garbage-can. At this stage of history, either one of two things is possible: either the general population will take control of its own destiny and will concern itself with community-interests, guided by values of solidarity and sympathy and concern for others; or, alternatively, there will be no destiny for anyone to control.

One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.

Take it up with Solzhenitsyn.
I have. Personally. I spent an entire afternoon with him in Moscow in 2001 along with my father-in-law.

He was quite a character. When leaving, he yelled at me,"You are under arrest!"

I looked back in surprise and said,"Who? Me? What for?!"

We both had a good laugh over it.

What he said was that about 60 million people were victims of the gulags. The word victim does not mean they died. In fact, most didn't.

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.

I think the God that we have created and allowed to shape our culture through, essentially Christian theology is a pretty villainous creature. I think that one of the things that male patriarchal figure has done is, allowed under it's, his church, his wing, all kinds of corruptions and villainies to grow and fester. In the name of that God terrible wars have been waged, in the name of that God terrible sexism has been allowed to spread. There are children being born all across this world that don't have enough food to eat because that God, at least his church, tells the mothers and fathers that they must procreate at all costs, and to prevent procreation with a condom is in contravention with his laws. Now, I don't believe that God exists. I think that God is creation of men, by men, and for men. What has happened over the many centuries now, the better part of two thousand in fact, is that that God has been slowly and steadily accruing power. His church has been accruing power, and the men who run that church, and they are all men, are not about to give it up. If they give it up, they give up luxury, they give up comfort.

It's possible LBJ remained a racist after "civil rights" was passed. LBJ was a lying politician who used a false flag to drag the USA into Viet Nam, he was fully capable of accepting bribes or making deals behind the scenes that benefitted him or his cronies.

Also, to equate support for the civil rights bill as evidence a person isn't a racist and opposition to the civil rights bill as evidence a person is a racist seems to be an assumption you hold, but that doesn't provide evidence its accurate. In at least some and probably many instances, it is not accurate.
