Johnson, having had a wonderful day signing the bill( Voting Rights Act of 1965), everybody around him praising him, was sitting, Bill says, with his head in his hands at his desk. Bill (Moyers) said, “Mr. President, it’s the greatest day of your presidency.” Johnson said, “Yes, and it’s the day we gave the South to the Republican Party for the rest of our lifetimes.”

Except that there is no evidence he actually said that. The claim is made in a book that was printed in 1995. It has never been corroborated by anyone. Including the two governors.

Now LBJ was perfectly capable of using the word 'nigger', and did for strategic and other reasons. But that particular quote has never been verified.
