No I am talking abut the engineer of the Southern Strategy LBJ and the users of the Southern Strategy, Democrats.
"For the first time Negroes have a real leader. A religious leader. A nonviolent man of the cloth. You all know what that means, don't you? A colored Baptist preacher? That's one man who controls the colored community. . . The colored are not going to give up. They're determined. . . We can continue to push these things down their throats. They won't sit still any longer. We have to give them something. If we don't allow progress on this issue, were going to lose every-thing. There's going to be cloture. Rule 22 is going to go. And our opportunity to delay, or to slow down, and to bring some kind of an order to change. will be gone."
"Their allies will line up against us and there'll be no way of stopping them, well lose the filibuster and there'll be no way of putting a brake on all kinds of wild legislation. It'll he Reconstruction all over again."
