News outlets from around the globe are furiously combing through the files in search of more pieces to the puzzling death of President John F. Kennedy.
President Trump released the remaining documents this weekend.
One of the recent documents shows Democrat President Lyndon Johnson was a KKK member.
(Excerpt) Read more at thegatewaypundit.com ...
Johnson was so low most Klan chapters wouldn’t accept him.
Just another reason for me to despise that big-eared bastard!! Overbearing, sorry POS!
Bill Spaceman Lee?
However, for a short but interesting comedy bit from a comedian of that time, about LBJ and his alleged racism, check out this youtube clip of Lenny Bruce "imitating" LBJ's handlers, as they tried to teach LBJ how to say "negro", when he had to take over as president. ("LBJ" kept saying "nigga-o, nigga-o".)
Typical Gateway Pundit Clickbait BS
“A guy knows a guy who claims the Kluckers have proof.....”
“Most democrats in Texas in the 60s were KKK. This can’t be news to people.”
Total BS
Nixon appealed to law-and-order Southern Democrats in the ‘68 election and that put him over the top against Humphrey. Reagan appealed to blue-collar Dems in 1980. Trump picked up just enough of both in 2016.
But ‘68 was the year of “inversion” and the solidly Democratic South began to become more reliably Republican.
Funny, that these files were locked up for 50 years. In the age of the internet, all news is now and global, instantaneously. Nothing will be hidden.
Political hides were being protected.
What else is in those FBI files that Hoover drooled over for decades?
Jimmy carter used support from Kluckers to get elected gov.
I remember my mother in law saying that LBJ had people who were in his way killed....and she was talking about when he was getting going in politics...not after he became VP.
So did every Southern candidate. Doesn’t make them Kluckers
Is anyone surprised by this revelation?
You just know J.Edgar was holding this over him.
True, if LBJ had put half of them in concentration camps for 20 years, it would have done less damage than what his Great Society did to break up black families, on a permanent basis.
Are they going to reshoot some Scenes in the LBJ Movie that’s coming out to include this new information?
Woody Harrelson is playing the part of LBJ.
Yes, he really is, REALLY. No, I’m not kidding.
I’ll just say this.
Anybody that wants to know the particulars behind JFK assassination should look up James Files 2003 interview on You tube.
More background info here on how LBJ talked about blacks. Doesn’t confirm the KKK charge but is yet more evidence of his undeniable racism.
This is a 2014 article from MSNBC no less. I had not heard of some of these quotes. They did leave out the famous one where he told a member of Congress that if they pass the Civil Rights Bill “we’ll have those n* voting democratic for 200 years”.
Here is one interesting story excerpt:
“Buying into the stereotype that blacks were afraid of snakes (who isn’t afraid of snakes?) he’d [LBJ] drive to gas stations with one in his trunk and try to trick black attendants into opening it. Once, Caro writes, the stunt nearly ended with him being beaten with a tire iron.”

That may have been the only kind of white collar job available to someone of his, uh, abilities. Also, we have no idea how he treated his students from the anachronistic perspective which is generally applied only to Republicans of yesteryear.
