LBJ was a racist piece of crap and used the n-word regularly. But he and the rest of the democrat party knew their segregationist policies were running past their 'use by' dates. So how could they turn the tables on the republicans, subjugate the blacks more effectively than they had by using slavery, and own their asses forever? The answer - very plain to see, at the time - was what had already been done to the remnants of the American Indians. Federal 'benevolence' was the only thing they needed to provide. Dependency, substance abuse, destruction of families, and a new and improved level of poverty would soon follow. And they were 100% successful.
