    The question about Kennedy being shot was asked PRIOR to the news that Kennedy had died from a gunshot wound to the head. Not much was said on the news about who, what, how, why this occurred. It didn't really affect the nation until later that day/evening. By Saturday, I think people begin to be understand the scope of the event. Everyone was glued to their TV and Monday, the day of the funeral, every business was closed, along with schools. It was very sad and distressing.

    It just amazes me how unemotional and surprisingly calm the people were in New Orleanson that fateful day. Makes you think about how hated JFK must have been in the South at the time. I was only five years old when JFK was assassinated so I asked my parents how they felt about the assassination. My mother coldly remarked that she wasn’t upset like some others living in the Northeast. She said “it wasn’t like he was a family member!.”I have to say I was embarrassed to hear my mother say something like that! But maybe if you had voted for Nixon in 1960 like my folks did, I guess you wouldn’t have cared so much but just move on with everyday your lives. Maybe a lot of Americans didn’t care much for JFK at the time and we have turned the assassination into a national tragedy and now think of him as a martyr. I would like people to reply to these comments and tell me how they felt at the time. Again I was only five years old. The only thing I was upset about was that there were no Saturday morning kid shows on TV!

      New Orleans was the city where Lee H Oswald was born, It was where David Ferrie and Clay Shaw lived, the assasination was planned in that city and this is where Jim Garrison was the DA. Kennedy was not a popular president with the people of that part of the country. Really, no matter what time in history, no matter what part of the country, most people really just care about their own lives and concerns and unless it affects them personally, most people really hear it and then go on to the next thing in their life. I was no where to be seen as I was not born until 1970, but for me personally, I met JFK in the history books and on film and in so many actor portrayals and I really have looked to him as a class act and one whom I have always modeled myself after. I also really respect and admire Reagan, he is a president I remember, and thank God for the country he survived his near death by a would be assasin.

    Two observations. I think back then there was more of a tendency to not get overly emotional in public. Nowadays people feel totally comfortable, even entitled, to lose their minds over even small things.

      Being a “random black guy” myself, I understand the template that blacks had in that time period. See , on June 11, of that year ,JFK made a risky if not brave Report to the American People on Civil Rights. It encouraged the American Negro but didn’t go over too well with everyone (not just the Southern population) . So this black guy felt like many blacks that Kennedy was a marked man for that nationally televised speech. In fact, NAACP leader Medgar Evers was shot down in Jackson , Miss that very night. So I hope it helps us understand what the RBG might have been thinking.

The American people today are much more immoral, rude, corrupt and ruined. Alcoholism, drug addiction, homosexual culture, and a complete departure from Christianity have destroyed American society. It's truly unbelievable. Very few people are aware of this fact. When religion and morality are lost, societies decay. The concept of family disappeared and American society collapsed.

      @@bobtaylor170 But the way you dress contributes to the way you look. IMO we're better off without this shallow extravagance. People went through, and still go through, all this work to dress up because if they did not then they were looked down upon or casted out to some extent. Do it long enough and you'll convince yourself that you're dressing nice because of some intrinsic satisfaction that has nothing to do with the cultural indoctrination thats steeped so deep into your subconscious that you can't even tell if a thought or a preference is truly yours or someone else's. Sure, dressing "nice" doesn't harm anyone directly, but it contributes to the reinforcement of valuing the shallow things in life and treating people like shit for the most trivial reasons.
