Its a very grey area....

Kennedy was an egotistical control freak that wanted to micromanage the civil rights movement segment of the black freedom struggle. There is evidence that he truly believed that blacks should not be treated as 2nd class citizens and we deserved rights, BUT he did not like the civil rights movement because he felt it was too fast and out of his control. He did alot of slow moving to slow up the civil rights movement so the change would not happen so quickly and the racists whites in the south would adjust(the dixiecrats that supported Kennedy were pissed with him, so he had to appease them).

In other words, I think his control freak personality and roots in Southern Democracy hurt his ability to give blacks civil rights in the appropriate way. He had the ability to be a great American, but he had hangups that prevented him from reaching his full potential.

he was. but being a democrat the rethugs don't really praise him like that. he also didn't care much for the elite zionists so they don't really care for him either.

Im at work and cant really dive into this but he was the only president doing shyt cause he felt it right not what people thought he should do. All his military moves, his civil rights stance, his policies that politicians and the powers that be disagreed with. He didnt give a fuk. He wasnt about civil rights cause he thought history would favor him for it in the future, he thought shyt was fuked up. He wasnt against expansion in Vietnam cause it was a popular stance, the generals that experienced WW2 and Korea were pushing for that shyt and going behind his back

JFK was the most trill president ever. If we got a president like that now
:whoo:

As big as the Catholic church is, why cant they get someone in office, why is every president Christian Affiliated(Presbyterian, Methodist etc...)

Dude was different...and not about that continuation of typical political fukkery shyt

He signed a bunch of executive orders that allow the government to take over various things, but I think he was conned into that. He really was a good hearted man who cared about this country, and its liberty, and people

Need to separate the man from the politician imo.


I don't feel any way about his personal life, it's none of my business.

To be honest, I don't think he would have been as brave or effective in pushing civil rights legislation or even The Great Society legislation as that old Texan Lyndon Johnson.
