James Pierson’s seems to be arguing that American leftists, or the American mainstream media during the 1960s, at least, was arguing that the reason for the racial tensions in America in the 1960s, was because of the JFK assassination. And the reason why President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas in 1963, was because of far-right opposition to America’s membership in the United Nations.

I’m sure there are American leftists who believe at least publicly (perhaps they’re smart enough not to believe this privately) that right-wing opposition to President Kennedy and the civil rights movement, was the reason for the political violence of the 1960s, including the JFK assassination. But that’s not even close to be a mainstream view in America. At least not between the center-left and center-right, on the American political spectrum.

About Erik Schneider

I use the American Liberal photo as the cover photo for this blog, because that’s exactly what I am. And no, not in the stereotypical, sort of pop culture sense of what an American Liberal is supposed to be. But someone who represents what American liberalism, as well as European liberalism, and perhaps the liberalism of the rest of the world outside of the United States. Liberals are people who believe in defense of liberal democracy, as well as the preservation of liberal democracy. And of course we also believe in liberal democracy with all the individual rights, and other liberal values that come from liberal democracy, the liberal democratic form of government, like equal opportunity, equal rights, equal justice, property rights, individual freedom and freedom of choice for everybody, as well as limited but responsible government, and fiscal responsibility
