On the topic of LBJ he also hugely escalated the Vietnam war far more than any other president sending tens of thousands of young American men to die in a proxy war for what ultimately amounted to nothing. It's also pretty clear from what people have said about how he spoke in private he didn't view blacks as equals at all which makes all his civil rights work just come off as disingenuous. You can argue that doesn't matter because he still passed those acts but to me it makes him come off as a hypocrite.
