#WebsiteSnopes "A viral quote circulating since the 1990s attributes the following statement to Lyndon Baines Johnson, the 36th President of the United States: 'I'll have those niggers voting Democratic for 200 years'... We don't have a high degree of confidence that he actually said it, however." [fact-checked] #1965_VotingRightsAct
"These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference." [commentary] "To be fair, historians point out that sometimes -- as in the case above, presumably -- Johnson's more bigotry-laden statements were calculated to achieve a specific end, such as convincing his pro-segregation Dixiecrat colleagues that it was in their best interests to support civil rights legislation."

Addendum "uppityness" in this context somewhat alludes to #OtheringCaricatureSlaveryNat "The Nat caricature portrays African and African American males as angry, crazed, revengeful brutes with a bloodthirsty hatred for white people. Like many anti-black caricatures, the Nat portrayal was popularized during American slavery.... 'Nat was the rebel who rivaled Sambo in the universality and continuity of his literary image. Revengeful, bloodthirsty, cunning, treacherous, and savage, Nat was the ravager of white women who defied all the rules of plantation society. Subdued and punished only when overcome by superior numbers of firepower, Nat retaliated when attacked by whites, led guerrilla activities of maroons against isolated plantations, killed overseers and planters, or burned plantation buildings when he was abused...
