Hard one...I would probably have voted Goldwater if it hadn't been for the Civil Rights Act, making it LBJ.

You're either a racist or not a racist. Their's no middle ground. You cant be a racist and "not like it".

I don't really think it's that black and white.  I think that everybody has certain prejudices, whether they admit it or not, and that racism is a matter of degree.

You can also recognize your prejudices, and try to avoid acting on them inappropriately.

I think that LBJ realized that the time had come for change, and decided to act in defiance of his own prejudices and upbringing.  For that, he deserves credit, because that's the only way that bad prejudices are reduced or eliminated.

Good points. I agree.
