I'd be surprised if a lot of people didn't say the same things when Major League Baseball was integrated--that they'd never be a fan of the sport any more. And I'm sure some never came back, never went to any games again. And the sport thrived without them, left them behind, and moved on. In retrospect, the sport had no choice but to help lead society into a more just and inclusive era.
LBJ has stuck his neck out and made a lot of enemies and detractors by going uppity. But again, he'll be looked at years from now as more of a hero than a villain. It takes people standing up and taking a path of greater resistance for society to get anywhere. They said all those same things and worse about Dr. King back in the day.
