I said this before. As soon as the politicians voted for the civil rights act, I called my state senators and congressman. I was able to talk to two of the aides. Both said the same thing. The south still opposed the act. Since the White House was endorsing the act, the politicians voted it through. Thanks White House. I know desegregation would still happen regardless, but there wouldn't be as many white people affected. I wouldn't be as upset if the majority of whites wanted desegregation but the majority didn't. If Johnson runs against a donkey next time, the donkey has my vote.
