  • i wish there was an original video

  • "For those of you who are black and are tempted to ... be filled with hatred and mistrust of the injustice of such an act, against all white people, I would only say that I can also feel in my own heart the same kind of feeling," he said. "I had a member of my family killed, but he was killed by a white man."

  • Thank you for being the ONLY person I can find who uploaded this speech in its entirely. it enrages me when other YouTubers cut parts out to make it shorter or to eliminate the reaction of the crowd - as if the wailing of the crowd is irrelevant!

  • RIP YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD PRESIDENT STOOD UP FOR A LOT OF THINGS

  • Touching.

  • This is so awesome!!!!

  • I'm reading MLK's autobiography at the moment and I can't put it down. What an inspiration that man is.

  • I have some very sad news for all of YOU, Bobby? WTF?

  • God Bless America

  • whoever watches this video, look @ ron paul... he is our beacon for individual liberty.

  • how about Malcom X?Malcom X also Fight for Justice for United State before people Shot him...why must this thing Happened..

  • @HAKiMZ Malcom X liked violence , for him the Human Right and Justice for all could be gained with any kind of means, what was the opposite of MLK's viewpoint that's why both did get along. MLK and RFK are my heroes

  • @tototirenama O i see...

  • This speech contains a line from one of my favorite poems.

  • This speech is the gold standard for speeches if you ask me. It made Bobby Kennedy the icon he is today.

  • Bobby Kennedy is the best public speaker that I have listen to, he inspires me with his compassionate voice and his love for all human being. I wish he was still alive.

  • "There are people who look at things and ask 'why?' I dream of things that never were, and ask 'why not?' " - RFK

  • Bobby the best politician since I was born!

  • "Only thoes who are willing to fail greatly can ever acheive greatly" - RFK

  • Thanks, Sirhan....asshole!

  • is it true that this is the first time that RFK publicly mentioned his brothers murder?

  • @poofberry

    nah, it was either the jack paar show or it was during the DNC in '64 where he received an 18 minute standing ovation for his brother.

  • The best President we never had

  • Feel free to keep in mind RFK was the Attorney General to JFK and durin the JFK presidency Dr. King was being WIRETAPPED so eventhough I feel Bobbys words are heartfelt he wasn't someone they fully trusted, and its a shame we lost both men at a young age, I'd take bringin em all back over the years of Nixon, Regan & Bush anyday however

  • @ViperRob42 um yeah true but read why... hoover wanted wiretaps on MLK and bribed JFK and RFK for permission. hoover also watched a young JFK since WW2 and the FBI and CIA followed, watched and wiretapped RFKs phones from the day after his brothers assassination

  • good video.

  • The good die young while the ones that preach hatred are protected by the police, even though most people don't have the ambition to rid our country of them.. Maybe just kick their ass which they deserve.

    I'm talking about the KKK and Neo Nazi Hitler worshipers. KKK started showing up again in my city, they better hope I don't catch them in the act of terror.

    Little if any mercy.

  • This is an amazing example of the oratorical skills Robert Kennedy possessed. Not only was this a strong and succinct message, but it was delivered completely off-the-cuff with no pre-planning.

  • Let all people be integrity ,so they don't die in vain

  • what a loss to the US and to the world

  • True botherhood at a time before this country fell in love with money, power and injustice.

  • everyone now knows that the assassination of JFK and his brother was at the hands of the CIA.

    This is like the case of the twin towers aka world trade center. There is always the CIA in the middle of the great deception

    Bobby Kennedy was a great devotee of the Virgin Mary and now he is in heaven. No doubt

  • I am old enough to know: we are the same people we were then. We need to elect politicians that have this intelligence, sense of history, and who are interested in justice.

  • @ScottMansfield , we are worse off now then we were then. We have been given a shitload of 'stuff' now, that tends to obfuscate the decision to do the right thing. We've been bought off by a select few who are still very much in touch with their primal fears.

  • @ScottMansfield Not only that, we need politicians that are in it to actually help serve their people. That's why it's called, "Public Service"

  • Two men whose absence is felt even today, when cries for equality and social justice are still met with fear and violence. Will we never learn?

  • The best Presdent that America never had. RIP Bobby

  • @PD1981 RFK, the Uncrowned true American President.

  • i love and respect bobby kennedy and martin luther king jr so much

  • And then RFK was brutally murdered 2 months and a day later. Fucking disgusting animals GWB Senior one of the main ones. Cocksuckers.

  • "even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of god"

  • aeschylus, my favourite too.

  • Great speech.

  • MCM4 you do have an insperational figure in America today his name is ron paul. have a look at his record. he has been consistant all his life.

    He has been true to the words of george washington when he said "in maters of style go with the times but in matters of principle be staidy like a rock".

    He was the only memeber of congress to apposse the war in iraq in 2002.have a look at his speach to congress in 2002 its on youtube.

  • RFK's words most certainly spared Indianapolis from the riots that befell other major cities. Unscripted and from the heart...truley amazing.

  • Why haven't we heard the term --- "An RFK Democrat" I am one. I woiuld support any person who is tough on defense, an unbiased voice against injustice and inspirtion to the youth of our country...." Fear wasn't in his vocabulary and justice was his lightening rod!

  • amen!!

  • @unger520

    Why do you believe the Kennedy's were rats?

  • ASIwatched thismontage and listened to the words of RFK a flood of memories came back from when I originally heard this news.

    AS you watch these pictures and hear these words stop and ask yourself:

    Has any politician since then had the gift to move a vrowd the way RFK did? Not even big Brother JFK in whose shadow Bobby always dwelt had such a gift..

    That courage, charisma, and trust of the people is the greatest loss we mourn at the murders of RFK anhd MLK  by "the powers that be".

  • truely amazing. he did that speech right on the spot it and it was all from his heart. he spoke right to the audience and nailed it. he would of won the election that year if he wasn't killed. but i'm glad his message lives on, he's still with us

  • Spot on. Can you imagine any of the politicians today quoting the Classics? RFK was an amazing intellect

  • This is a test.

  • lol true. but rfk was an aristocrat. most politicians today are hicks with money

  • @scully2222

    true, but beyond that, he was a human being whose personal tragedy opened his eyes and his heart, genuinely, to the pain and suffering in the world. that's what really made him such an adept politician, not his aristocracy.

  • I love the shots here.

  • You mean exodus?

  • Is that sarcasm or are you serious. I think that we can and already ARE rebuilding our great nation.

  • What incredible human beings we lost in 1968. Perhaps if Bobby and MLK had survived, the Vietnam War would have ended sooner. Bobby's speech was truly amazing, and the perfect eulogy for MLK .

  • JFK had already issued an order to withdraw from Vietnam. If he didn't die, then we would have been out even sooner

  • 1968 was a horrible and sad year

  • I was just 3 years old when RFK died .

    But I'm deeply moved by words that this

    man had for all of humanity ! In the words

    of John Lennon

    "GIVE PEACE A CHANCE"

  • RFK was a great man. Its a shame that he

    was shot because he would have been a

    great president. I can relate to this good man.

  • i wonder if this also like JFK , Bobby maybe Obama next?? is not the work of Israel

  • Comment removed

  • @breeeegs But feel for the man, for we are in a far different epoch of time than even Robert Kennedy was. Obama has many skeletons, but the internet has allowed them to be made public. How would you feel if you were to be him at this moment, reading these words? What message of faith and hope does that spread? President of the United States must be an immensely difficult job, do not underestimate it.

  • @breeeegs

    considering we've had over 40 years of history through which to form a perspective about RFK and the past, I think judging the obama presidency at this point is a bit premature.

  • RFK's believe on who really shot MLK was

    different from that of other people. Like with the assassination of JFK, a government conspiracy rose as a result

    of allegations that was more than one shooter involved. The government was one sourced blamed for killing MLK

    because they placed wiretaps on his

    phones and listened in on his conversations.

  • my hero...my idol

  • Upon his arrival, Bobby's aides warned him to stay away from the black people--they were dangerous. They even repeatedly ordered him to step down as he approched the crowd. Bobby ignored them. He spoke without safety precautions to a crowd that could've erupted in chaos around him. It did not. They listened solemnly, and, while in other cities there was rioting and destruction, Indianapolis remained quiet and peaceful as the people grieved as Bobby entreated them to--with respect and dignity.

  • good

  • bobby was the man indeed

  • RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT

  • Damn they took Dr King, Bobby and JFK, bastards.

    The good die young

  • Those goddamn bastards....

    They took great leaders....goddammit!!!

  • What distinguishes Robert Kennedy from politicians today is that he is somebody who can really just make you stop and THINK after hearing the things he says.

  • As the intelligent and the gifted has been telling us throughout recorded time: Love is the answer!!

    Hopefully - one day we will listen!!

  • What's your problem with Ted; and why do you post it on a video featuring Bobby? Do you

    realize the video is a tribute to MLK?

  • Chappaquiddick. No one should get away with that..

  • That wasnt Bobby and that isnt an appropriate comment for this video.

  • .Hmmmm......it seems there are some people making comments on this site that I challenge to ask themselves, "why am I so incredibly afraid of receiving and giving love??" Fear and anger are but mere individual shields created to protect a broken heart. When you decide to put down your shield and chose love, your life will become so much easier.

  • Hate don't fly nowadays,dude! you get/have no respect....your words are mere cotton candy, not grounded in anything. An airplane with no wings.. You probably have daddy issues....come over to the side of love......seriously. God Bless

  • Go spew your worthless drivel somewhere else

  • you sound like a coward.

  • i look up to bobby. he's my inspiration. he makes me wanna be a good citizen.

  • sho you right. He was a great man who fought for the weak and lesser fortunate.

  • aeschylus:)

  • americas two greatest black sons surely must be barac obama, and martin luther king

    god bless

  • What's great about Obama?

    He is a CFR puppet.

    Get your facts straight and go listen to Malcolm X.

  • exactly lol instead of that uncle tom nigga obama

  • go to hell you good for nothing, uneducated, bigot, useless piece of shit. you have no morals and obivously no respect and sympathy for what slaves have been through.you could have never gone through what they went through and still have honor. i want you to actually read uncle tom's cabin. maybe you won't be a racist anymore.

  • you stupid idiot im black my ancestors were killed by white people, uncle tom is a expression of weakness and politeness towards white people im not talking about the book

  • no you idiot uncle tom is an reminder of the injustices slaves faced and how the government payed no mind to their suffering. Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote it in protest to the passing of the Fugitive Slave Act. get your facts straight. are you saying that all white people are bad because the one of the greatest abolitionists was a white man and Robert Kennedy is a white man. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT RACE YOU ARE. WE WERE ALL CREATED EQUAL AND THEREFORE SHOULD BE TREATED AS EQUALS.

  • CFR?

  • Council on Foreign Relations.

    And search for the Bilderberg Group and the Trilateral Commission too, by the way.

    The entire election is bullshit. Trust me, or trust the media. It's your choice.

    If Obama is for "Change" why isn't he talking about the Federal Reserve System? (I hope you know what that is... if you don't, well, add that to the list.)

    Peace.

  • wow! the entire election was bullshit?? why did so many people vote then. your very into conspiracy theories i see. if you knew more about barack maybe then you wouldn't spread your crazy theories.

  • "Anzal07", do you know what the CFR, the Bilderberg and the Trilateral Commission are?

    Quit labeling me as a "conspiracy theorist". That's pathetic. I'm not saying we are being ruled by aliens or anything like that... I'm just stating a very obvious thing to anybody with a free mind and some knowledge about history. Look at the elections, look at the way things work and go make your research, if your are so sure about your democracy, you shouldn't be afraid to do so.

  • to label the entire election "bullshit" because you think the government is up to something makes you a conspiracy theorists. please point out corrupt elections (except for GW Bush, i know) the council on foreign relations is "A research center dedicated to understanding the world by better comprehending global trends and contributing ideas to US foreign policy." check out its website. the bilderberg group has only been ACCUSED of bad things but nothing is proven since everything is private.

  • you seem to always put a dark cloud over private organizations. the bildergroup and the trilateral commission seem to hve almost the same purpose of making the world "better", who knows what they are really doing. but have faith in the american people, you know about the american revolution. if the private groups attempt to run America without any say from average citizens they would not stand a chance against democracy-loving americans and their fury.

  • in what world do you live in?!?!?!

    do you know what your country has been up to in the last two hundred years? do you have any idea about the colossal amount of information indicating that the bilderberg is in fact an enemy of freedom?

    Even the prime minister of my country (portugal) atended the club before being elected.

    I respect your opinion, but you are blind! Even without the bildeberg and cfr in the picture, I can't have any faith in the american people... that's just hilarious.

  • WHAT INFO COULD YOU POSSIBLY HAVE?? no rumors alright. you are speaking based on things you've heard, what othere people put into your brain. don't believe it tell you see it. don't you know not to trust the media and crazy people?? look the fact that you haven't experienced America and its people (you would be shocked at how partiotic we are) is the reason why you can't trust us but thats ok when we better america we will show the rest of the world just how great we are and can be (also trust).

  • lol a person being naive at its best..... who runs the army....who has all the weapons.....has all the gold.......who has all the bio weaponry.....who has the senate seat, who has the presidency... who runs the world trade.......

    TELL YOU WHAT..... NOT THE DAMN PEOPLE!!!! IM SORRY BUT I WISH WHAT YOU JUST SAID HAD ANY LEGS TO STAND ON

  • what in the world are you taking about? heads of other countries might be involved in private orgainizations and many lower government officials in america might be too. but the President isn't, his cabinet isn't, his staff (so far) isn't. if you haven't noticed the gov.does not regulate trade, businesses do. and america doesn't use gold currency, its greenbacks all the way. most major countries have bio weaponry and almost all have weapons and armies. please explain your comment i don't get it.

  • You have no idea what NAO is talking about, I suggest you go do some research first. I think reading about the Federal Reserve and its true nature will convince you enough. Especially about how it just creates endless debt.

  • what are you talking about? really. i don't understand how you have come to this conclusion.

  • I agree with you. We started out with that beautiful speech by RFK, and turned into the Federal Reserve. Some people can't resist any oppurtunity to complain about something totally unrelated.

  • One of the best speeches given in U.S History, so sad Bobby isn't with us anymore, nor is Dr.King but there memories live in our hearts, and hopefully in our actions.

  • The class struggle between reaction and social reform never stops. Those who killed JFK, RFK and MLK oppose the full democratic rights of American citizens. Obama faces the same challenges today.

  • This speech is amazing! Bobby had no time for a written 1 he just went up there and spoke!

  • I'm huge admirer but actually what hapened. Just to get the facts right, was that he got off a plane and his chief speechwriter for his campaign gave him a quick speech he scribbled on the plane, but rfk didnt bother...But rfk didnt just go up there and speak he did have some very rough notes more like bullet points. that is the precise answer...we all know the aeschylus quote was one he had memorized many times over

  • Martin Luther King died on April 4th 1968! That's my birthday!

  • What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence and lawlessness, but is love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or whether they be black

  • I am a true believer in the Kennedy way of Politics. John and Bobby really cared for the safety of all people and children, and also had the greatest compassion for mankind. Bobby would have made the best President ever. I am a good friend of Bobby jr. and he is a great person just like his Dad. What a great speach for Martin L. King, as he was also a great person. RG NY

  • I was there that night. It truly was very moving and scary at the same time. I can remember looking at him and saw the sorrow in his face. I was a senior in high school and just 2 months later almost to the day our graduation ceremony was saddened on his day of assasination. 1968 was a very sad year!

  • wow..! I feel the pain you felt going through that year..!

  • But America has come a long way. In only about 40 years, an African American became president, if we continue like this for another century, think about how much we will accomplish.

  • My daughter had to memorize this speeech its like,really hard and long and sad

  • WOW! How did she memorize it?! How old is she? (I'm asking you because if she is really young, that is really cool!)

  • JFK, Malcom X, RFK, Martin Luther king...

    what if they all werent killed and were alive today?...

    What if?...

  • This speech gives me goosebumps!!! The Kennedys were truly wonderful minds, as were Dr. Martin Luther King and Malcom X, who were so ahead of their times, but who planted seeds of hope, which we, as a nation, reap today with the victory of Obama. Thanks to these courageous men, today, America, for the very first time, is the land of the free, "the promised land."

  • Litterally brings tears to my eyes...

  • Each generation must dedicate itself anew to the Idea of America and the Dream of a better future for all humankind.

  • Incredibly great video presentation to one of the best speeches on race issues in America ever, thank you so much!

  • insulting homosexuals eh? :)

  • OBAMA BRINGS ME HOPE! MLK, JFK, RFK, rip

  • robert kennedy jfk martin luther king

  • absolutely beautiful and moving! JFK RFK and MLK are 3 inspirations in my life. Just last night i posted a video I made as a tribute to all three of those men. I would be honored for all those who were moved by this video to take a look at mine. my intentions are not to promote my video or to claim that it is better but to further the profound meaning that those 3 men shared.

    There assassinations were detrimental to the moral well being of this nation. which bore a deep scar that may never heal

  • When Robert announced the murder, the peoples response was spine chilling, it brought tears to my eyes.

    We lost a lot of truly great Americans in the 60's.

  • Pure feelin

  • wow - powerful

  • its a dam shame he never became president.man the 60s was a sad time for so many.JFK RFK MLK,rip.

  • Yes. I was just putting the thought forth today as to what the world would have become if Bobby had become President. I traced everything back and forth and came to the conclusion that this would have been a much happier, respected and mature country. Think about what Nixon did to this society and the way it percieved itself. Then think of everything that grew out of that. Makes me sick.

  • I know our country would be in alot better place if he would have lived and shown the compassion for each other like he did.

  • yes, and he's supporting a man with faith; MLK has a good faith and surely unlike our Sen Obama whom has or dont even knows which is his faith and religion, don't or can't you all see the difference?? Why Americans wanna compares MLK and Sen Obama?? They both too much difference beyond comparison.. Heck!

  • Faith is all about believing. In the end, how much does it matter what our faith is if we are not willing to change and treat those around us with love? Does it truly matter what religion it is fo those who try and want to hate us? We want to compare MLK to Obama because we know no different. We have lossed the truth somewhere along the way, and are just looking for an answer.

  • And what is your point? Are you condemning white men? Are you hating on everyone? What the hell is your point? If you don't have one then shut the hell up. If you have one then speak it. I am a whit man and I cry when I think of the loss of MLK in '68. But not onlu him...also Robert Kennedy also in '68. What about hime and what he wanted?

  • Listen to RFK he would have been a great pres. He says we should move towards what MLK wanted, what a smart man. He was such a great speech writer. What do you think you should watch this video.

  • So sad Robert Kennedy was assassinated because he would been a better president than Richard Nixon.

  • you know he didnt even write that speech down..he was prepared to give a different speech then he found out MLK was killed..so those brilliant and beautiful words came straight from his heart. but im so grateful to him

  • if it came from his heart all i can say is wow! He speaks soooooo well.

  • This came straight from his heart,he was in Indianapolis,To give a speech when he heard MLK had been killed.PEACE POJHVCXZ

  • what?

  • This is my favorite speech of all-time. It's brave, it's moving, and it's honest.

  • With RFK's rational and understanding speech towards king's assasination he was probably the x-factor in indianapolis being riot free unlike the majority of the rest of the country in the aftermath.

  • GOD BLESS RFK.

  • 40 years ago. Rest In Peace Robert Kennedy.

  • Thanks, Manny for the wonderful video. Sad but beautiful. Favorite *****

  • And winner of most naive youtube comment of the day goes to manning6535 for this gem:

    how were the kenndeys criminals?

  • RFK was great but just out of curiosity did he believe in god?

  • yea he iz irish catholic

  • such a tragedy. he marched in chicago for good. god bless his memorey.

  • Thank you for this video!

  • 5*****

  • My mother didn't tell me much about things that happend when i was still young, our not even born.I was born in 1967.But i still remember here telling me, when i was in my teens, about the assasination of John F Kennedy and Martin Luther King.I didn't realy knew who they were at that time, but i never forget my mothers face as she told me, it was as if it just happend on that day

    It's sad that they didn't have more time to make there dreams come true

    love

    Jolanda

    Thank you David for sharing

  • So sad that he was shot

    R.I.P. RFK

  • 5*****

  • That was insanely beautiful, the pictures went perfectly with his speech, if he were president, he would've been a great one, this country would probably be in better shape if he had lived.

  • Thank you for a this sad piece of our history.What a sad time. Good to hear and remember Bobby on the 30th anniversary of his death. I've always wondered what would have happened if he had been elected.
