SamSpade said:Two things - one is, JFK did damned close to nothing when it came to civil rights. It was LBJ that did it all. JFK actually wanted to slow things down and was frequently P!SSED OFF at King. People credit him with greatness because he was killed. Trust me, his legacy would be different, had he lived. We sympathize because he was young, and left a young beautiful wife and two small children. But he was all talk and no action.
But two - what's the whooooosh? *MY* point was that great men are frequently hated during their lifetime and frankly, I wasn't even connecting it at all with civil rights or anything else in the discussion. I can name you plenty of people who STILL hate JFK. Who STILL think he was a big-talking blowhard who damned near stole an election.
And the fact that he was killed actually has nothing at all to do with what I'm discussing. People think FDR was great - but people hated him, called him a socialist, felt duped by his last campaign and took their anger out on Truman. People hated Jackson - and Madison - who despite practically authoring the entire Constitution was hated for his policies and getting us involved in "Madison's little war" which we call the War of 1812.
Almost no great man is ever given that honor while he is alive.

Things would be exactly the way they are now and "we" did it to them...yet again..whatever.
Vince said:Why aren't we focused on the issue of crime instead of which color is performing the criminal acts? High crime rate is the issue, and not if the criminal is black, white, yellow or green.
