[1dtbimp]

[ChristianWorldOrder2]

God Bless President John F Kennedy last true real President now we are stuck with NWO puppets!

[maxpowers518]

Medgar Evers was killed the next day.

[longfootbuddy]

human rights are "god given".. civil rights are goverment given... guess which rights im fighting to keep

[MatttthewF]

Check out "FULL JUSTICE" on Youtube. Its a brand new ORIGINAL SONG/VIDEO depicting the life and struggles of MLK.

"He was gone before he could reach his full potential"

[susankohistany]

I myself am not African American but even watching this speech,takes my respect for JFK to a new level. To be from the rich and fortunate background he came from,you think he'd be arrogant and unpleasant and possibly even racist growing up in that era,he had none of those bad qualities. And I applaud our dear humble president for his beautiful character.

@ThevanGoghBlues

it was just a hypothetical question... how about you stop ranting about your political opinions that nobody really cares about. this is youtube and there are many things to see that are way more interesting than your opinions, like videos of paint drying.

[HennigansStead]

@ThevanGoghBlues If L.B.J didn't kill Kennedy, Kennedy definitely would have done more than any president. But unfortunately, that "burden" fell on L.B.J. who is on tape calling african americans the "N" word. He is a liar and a horrible man.

[paraconti]

This speech alone would have gotten him ALL the black, latin and asian votes if he'd made it to the 64 election.

[haltykern]

it crazy how racist america is it took a white irish man to put it right

[mike420rvd]

if you understand and translate his politics he would match up with libertarian-leaning conservative today not liberal if gay rights today equals civil rights back then and if cutting taxes back means he would do it today then that means libertarian not liberal so if any thing jfk would be for ron paul or gary johnson

[jspecaspec23]

Kennedy was mad when money was spent on air force one for new furniture he was a conservative democrat he would have bitch slapped Obama for the piss poor management of the countries finances because it was Kennedy who helped put them into order during his short presidency. He is no Kennedy...

[golfdude2007]

this Rights Act Made our Country Stronger....and it took people with

education and the will to do it.......

to those in Arizona that want to reverse this History...I say to you....

You are the evil that lurks in our Country....!

[bubblinbrownsugar616]

Kennedy's speech writer that recently died Ted Sorenson, and Kennedy himself made magic together when it came to speeches. Sorenson, the writing and Kennedy relaying it. It's speaks volumes in my opinion. They were the TRUTH!

Nothing but pure common sense in a damn good speech.

[bluecollarlit]

@TranshumanCyborg  Very interesting point. Thanks. I would not have found that out on my own....

[FRSFreeState]

The issue wasn't whether all americans have equal Constitutional Rights under Law but whether or not they were being enforced for all americans. They clearly weren't which was why the 1964 Civil Rights Act was so important.

[Nostalgiaantes]

Sadly is the same night that killed to Medgar Evers...

[jezzo5000]

Jfk Is a man inspiration. Regardless of his dark secrets. America would truely be a different place today if he would have lived on. R.I.P mr Kennedy.

[maam31]

omg he said nigro...did u hear that..omg we should go shoot his ass...oh wait im white and i said it to....whole shit bout whites calling blacks niga/nigro is Bull shit...its not ok for us to say it but its ok for black to black to say it....

[angelica2you]

@maam31 Dont worry about it, Be just respectfull that's important. I dont have a issue when he said that. Maybe other people. But its all about the message!

you agree?

[maam31]

@angelica2you i agree 100%...and im glad your not like most peeps...and i wish to meat more people that are like you....

[SomeYTchannel]

If he knew how they would later be once they lost our influence and went on to do shit like they wanted and shit how would he see things?

[bikefixer]

"We are confronted primarily with a amoral issue. It is as old as the Scriptures and as clear as the American Constitution."

[FrsBigeasy]

Under the US Constitution all people in the country are equal under law. All people in America have Equal Rights under Law. That wasn't the issue or problem. The problem was that Southern States weren't enforcing the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution for African Americans which made the 1964 Civil Rights Act & the 1965 Voting Rights Act necessary.

[Bynkers83]

The fact that such a speech was necessary demonstrates the disgraceful history of the US.

[metalkrush77]

despite the personal controversy this family had, but one thing as public figures, the Kennedy's stood up for what was right when no one would, from civil rights, to humanity, and health care. now that all 3 brothers are gone. america has been blessed to have had the Kennedy's in our lives which it was Jack, Bobby, or Teddy. they all did their purpose in our lives, may their legacy live on.

[truebeliever786]

@metalkrush77

Yeah, they're much better than that idiot Obama,

He's all talk and no action.

[sgs446]

I wonder how he would have responded if he was alive when Obama was elected

[snoops71]

I'm sure he would have shared the views of Ted and Caroline.

[game3525]

Yeah, Kennedy was move far more to the left then what he was in 1961. It is pity, we were robbed of him and Bobby.

[toddsmitts]

@sgs446 I think he would have responded favorably, though, much like his brother Teddy, he wouldn't have been quick to give anyone his endorsement. (The Hillary campaign started out strong but ran out of steam, which shows there are few certainties in politics).

[hustnex]

@sgs446 he would expose him for what he is! obama is part of this nwo, spp, cfr bull shit that JFK was so very much against

[KWY007]

@sgs446

Probably the same as his brother Ted Kennedy.

He would have supported Obama.

[ifhgsfj]

@sgs446 Kennedy would've been ecstatic that we 1). Elected someone who actually knows what he's doing, and 2). Elected a non-white man, finally.

[PepsiGurl93]

@sgs446 His daughter, Caroline Kennedy, openly supported Obama with open arms, much to the dismay of Hilary Clinton. I'm sure JFK would have done the same.

[HennigansStead]

@sgs446 like the rest of us, if he wasn't black, he wouldn't have been elected. Hoodrats and gangbangers all turned out to vote for Obama, not for his political views which most of them wouldn't understand, but solely on the chance of there being a black president.

[spacepatrolman]

@sgs446 JFK uses the word negro obama listens to rap

[Jantv81]

@sgs446 OMG!! Who is this dude? He would not approve that Obama is so far to the left. Kennedy was indeed a moderate - but he would be glad to know that race relations have been improved.

[platapusking2]

HMMM i saw video like this close 2 6,000 black kids was arrested

[bestdayz]

the intriguing thing about kennedy is that his views on race relations were truly progressive intellectually.....he had no blacks in his inner circle and din't grow up with black people so his views are purely intellectual and quite unique for someone of his background. further proof of a moral awakening than nuture....

[grumpytosnowwhite]

Yeah, I know that always struck me too. I mean, he comes from a rich, snobbish family...you'd think he'd have some superiority issues, but he didn't. His main problem with Civil rights early on was not that he thought blacks shouldn't have them, it was that he just didn't understand how bad the situation was for blacks, because he obviously never experienced it. But all it took was some appalling race riots to get him really pissed. I think the memories of No Irish Need Apply signs clinched it.

[game3525]

That is what makes the Kennedy brothers very intresting. Joe Kennedy himself was a racist, but his sons Jack, Bobby, and Teddy were for Civil Rights and Immrigration reform. I laugh at people who think JFK didn't care about Civil Rights, he cut his neck poltical to create a bill, if he cared about his politcal future, he wouldn't have doen so.

[Frightwolf]

@bestdayz That's a very good way of putting it.

[texas224]

@bestdayz

The memories of him being so close to a near death on PT-109 changed him profoundly.

[marcparella]

JFK didn't have a chance. He was far too brilliant and enlightened to survive the hostility of the civil rights era.

[TruCOC]

WOW! I have a new found respect for JFK I am kind of young and i never really paid much attention to any political issues i didnt care which is probably the most ignorant thing i can admit to Until now I decided to study some of the men that my race have deemed as great men before my time I am so greatful for JFK now having researched him and his views on different issues pertaining to African Americans directly He was a great man! I LOVE U JFK!

[TrueNovice]

The first black Secret Service Agent, Bolden claimed that some of the white agents were saying Kennedy was a nigger lover who they would not take a bullet for. Well after this speech, he's dead before the year is out - November 22, 1963. Wonder if it's related to that?

[sjragin]

hm? no white supremist comments here? im shocked.

[01lockhart]

this is history this was/is still very important. y r not more young people watching things like this instead of beating up eachother?
