“then by the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which President Johnson got passed through Congress in 1965”
Should read, “which President Johnson bribed, rewarded, cheated, and poured money out like water, to get passed through Congress in 1965.”
Much of the fiscal hole we find ourselves in today began with LBJ. And if he hadn’t thrown enough money down the rat hole on his on, later when the riots started, they just completely turned on the money tap! Of course most of those folks knew they’d be long dead before the real stuff hit the fan.
