Hillary is not stepping on any toes but you are by playing the race card in every one of your questions.

WWII gave rise to the civil rights movement; it was already in gear by the time JFK came on the scene.
Blacks had gone to fight for their country like everyone else did when the country would come together against a common enemy. They expected to be treated as equals when they got home but things just went back to the way they'd always been. They were already to fight when Rosie Parks was arrested and when Martin Luther King, Jr. took up the cause to lead.
Hillary may have marched in some protests and may have been a member of the NAACP, but then so was my mother. Hillary didn't do much of anything to further the cause of civil rights.

The civil rights movement started long before John Kennedy or Dr. King were killed. You need to check out a history book.

the perfect similarity I see to JFK is his ability to motivate human beings. i do no longer in all danger undergo in ideas sufficient of JFK's rules to benefit that. yet then, Ronald Reagan replaced into elected on the comparable foundation, his ability to motivate, and we survived that ok. And Obama would not have the interior maximum proclivities JFK did, a minimum of so a techniques as all of us comprehend.

Most African Americans are more intelligent than the hatchling, like Doc, who continue to follow the International Corporate fascists who have suspended the Constitution and installed the Unitary Executive Serial Dictatorship.
Edit 1/15
Thank the omnipotent being that a moron like you, doc, gives me a chance to defend my position. While there is no doubt that the Democratic Party of long ago certainly was racist and Lincoln certainly was a Republican, African Americans are intelligent enough to realize that you are alluding to ancient history and that it is the republican Party that has been thoroughly infiltrated by the International Corporate Fascist Movement. They are also intelligent enough to recognize that while the Democratic Party has also been infiltrated it is the lesser of two thoroughly insufficient choices.
It is utterly pathetic when modern day hatchling of the International Corporate Fascists that have seized control of this country try to defend their positions by pointing out the characteristics of the two dominant parties multiple generations ago.
Your argument is pathetic. Your attempt to defend Bush and his Fascist party by arguing that a half century and more ago the other party had white racists involved is pitiful.
Educate yourself moron. I have put up with brain-dead, brainwashed, cherrypicking apologists for the fascist movement all of my life. I am finished being nice. It is time to fight for our country.
Fascist apologists like you need your posteriors kicked from here to Cleveland. You are traitors to the Constitution. You will gang together with the rest of your brain-dead zombies and attack anyone you are pointed at.
PLEASE choose me first. I am ready and waiting.

Huh?
What does either assassination have to do with Hillary?
What kind of argument are you trying to start?
By the way - There have been attempts made on her life as well... or don't you read the news?
Please don't be dumb enough to let the media fool you into thinking that Hillary and Obama are not on the exact same team... they are!
Divided we fall...

Hillary put her foot in her mouth and offended many people. She needs to come to grip with the fact that she never was, is not, and will never be a black woman.

Most blacks fail to realize that it was the democratic party that opposed abolition (of slavery). Yet there they are, voting for the democrats. How stupid is THAT?
And then there are those like Itchy, who refuse to look at historical fact. They'd rather call names and use psycho- babble B.S. to try and impress the unenlightened.
So Itchy, do tell, who founded the "social club" known as the Ku Klux Klan? Lincoln, Republican or Democrat? Perhaps you'd like an easy out to save face and rethink your stand? It's all right to make a mistake -- so long as no one's life depends on it.

The civil rights movement was well underway before either one of those gentlemen met their demise. Hillary only cares about herself and her blind ambition.

the race baiters have reaped what they have sewn..
Clinton pandered to blacks with nothing more than somebody else's money
he was the Chief flunky for Senator J William Fulbright who next to KKK Sen Robert Byrd..was the most bigoted Senator in the Senate when MLKjr died
Source(s): "A little known fact of history involves the heavy opposition to the civil rights movement by several prominent Democrats. Similar historical neglect is given to the important role Republicans played in supporting the civil rights movement. A calculation of 26 major civil rights votes from 1933 through the 1960's civil rights era shows that Republicans favored civil rights in approximately 96% of the votes, whereas the Democrats opposed them in 80% of the votes! These facts are often intentionally overlooked by the left wing Democrats for obvious reasons. In some cases, the Democrats have told flat out lies about their shameful record during the civil rights movement. Democrat Senators organized the record Senate filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Included among the organizers were several prominent and well known liberal Democrat standard bearers including: - Robert Byrd, current senator from West Virginia - J. William Fulbright, Arkansas senator and political mentor of Bill Clinton - Albert Gore Sr., Tennessee senator, father and political mentor of Al Gore. Gore Jr. has been known to lie about his father's opposition to the Civil Rights Act. - Sam Ervin, North Carolina senator of Watergate hearings fame - Richard Russell, famed Georgia senator and later President Pro Tempore" http://members.tripod.com/~GOPcapitalist/democratr...
