LBJ's oversight of the aforementioned were for political benefits more so than a reflection of his moral compass.

LBJ... is whom gave JFK a warning and caution about JFK's time related to promoting the Civil Rights Legislation... LBJ, knew what Kennedy was up against and that a type of stragety needed to be different, which is why LBJ... make Voting Rights as a Follow Up... rather than an initial part of the Civil Rights Act.. His warning to Kennedy, was not to try to pass Civil Rights Act with Voting Rights included.
What Johnson knew was... Civil Rights was a first step that would pave the way for Voting Rights.. but they could not have been done in a single act.
Republican and Confederacy Minded Conservatives to this very day... have resentments at LBJ... because he broke their system of segregation, and he moved pass their plan to piece meal and ration out rights over a 50 yr span as long as it did not infringe on White Privilege and White Dominance.
They have been fighting for more than 50 yrs, trying to Re-institute Wealthy White Male Dominance, and deluding the poor whites all along with a dried carrot on a stick, that he would give them something if they play along.
They have played along and what did they get... Busted Unions, NO Pension Plan, No Benefit Plans, Higher Medical Cost, Stagnant Wages, No Voice In the Work Place and the spread of Right To Work disrespectful of the workers programs across this nation. We saw the Scott Walker mess, and we've experienced since the days of Nixon, the inability of American to save, and a continual declining standards while exclusions from middle class has been constructed by the exodus of Industry, started under Nixon's visit to China. To the Era of Reagan supporting Big Industry and Cutting Public Programs to playing tax shuffle games to keep the people off balance, then saturating the massed with drugs, while the savage cannibalism of Republican Agenda, continues it aims to recreate as much of Confederacy ideological promotions as it can.
Today, they have install their "Head of Savagery" into the Whitehouse (Trump).... and they (Republican Politicians) are willing to savagely destroy as much as they can, and what they can't destroy they want to inflict damages in great degree upon what remains.
