I have never understood why many Americans have been so fascinated by the criminal, anti-American, and unpatriotic Kennedy family. JFK accomplished nothing of importance, during his brief term as President. I view them in the same way in which I see Saddam and his sons.

JFK voted AGAINST the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Enough said.

Was the Kennedy Family a Bunch of Racists?

Yes.
Next question.

Was the Kennedy Family a Bunch of Racists?

What does that mean exactly and more important than that...who cares whether they were or not and as defined by whom? The NAACP? The Black Caucus, Al Sharpton?

Has the GOP now become Marxist lite. Are they seeking white 'racist' under every rock? While they run around in circles whining about white racists and trying to prove they are not 'racist' the Black & Hispanic Caucuses not to mention hundreds/thousands of other race based groups are smiling. It is no wonder the GOP is asunder.

btw, technically Sam Giancana was not a 'Mafia Boss'. As the Chicago Mob, aka: The Outfit, aka: The Syndicate, was a multi-ethnic crime organization consisting of Italians, Jews, Irish, Germans and even Japanese mobsters ('Alleged mobsters'). And there were really a lot of Jewish members, prolly next to Italians in number.

Granted to be 'The Outfit Boss' one did have to be Italian and a 'made member', but Street Crews and Hitmen did not, especially the Hitmen. So it can't be compared to the NY 'Mafia' Families or Sicilian 'Mafia' in a true sense.

This goes back to the Capone era, or earlier, when all the old Mafia, 'Blackhand' Mustache Pete's were whacked, or 'eased out', who ran the Italian neighborhoods in Chi.

So Al was really ahead of his time. He believed that 'Diversity Is Our Strength' :-)
