An Introduction<br />

by Robert L. Brock<br />

A Black American's Perspective<br />

on the Assassination of John F. Kennedy<br />

As an American of African slave descent, as a U.S. Army veteran of<br />

World War II, and as a long-time laborer within the African-American<br />

community, I have a special interest in finding out precisely who killed<br />

President John F. Kennedy and why.<br />

John F. Kennedy and his brother, Robert Kennedy, put a great deal on<br />

the line when they stepped forward and identified themselves with the cause<br />

of justice for Blacks in America. To be sure, Jack and Bobby were savvy<br />

politicians, conscious of the growing and increasingly influential Black<br />

voting bloc in America. Thus, for reasons of their own, they had made a<br />

conscious decision to align themselves politically with Americans of<br />

African slave descent. However, at the same time Jack and Bobby also truly<br />

believed that it was time that the Black man and Black woman in America<br />

deserved an even break.<br />

Through their words and—more significantly—through their actions,<br />

the Kennedy brothers were bringing a previously-disenfranchised people<br />

under the protection of the Kennedy dynasty. Had John Kennedy lived and<br />

been elected to a second term, the Black voting bloc—for years to<br />

come—would have ultimately become part of a Kennedy political<br />

powerhouse.<br />

Throughout the 20th century the Black political apparatus in America<br />

was dominated at the highest levels—particularly in the all-important<br />

financial realm—by Jewish influence. Organizations such as the Anti-<br />

Defamation League (ADL) of B'nai B'rith, one of the foremost elements in<br />

the powerful Israeli lobby, aggressively dictated the internal affairs and the<br />

public course and discourse of what were ostensibly "Black"—or, in the<br />

parlance of the day, "Negro"—civil rights organizations.<br />

However, with the advent of the Kennedy presidency, Americans of<br />

African slave descent now had an effective and eloquent spokesman in the<br />

White House itself. This essentially had the effect of moving the ADL, for<br />

example, out of the loop. The ADL was no longer the "middleman" divvying<br />

up the civil rights crumbs for Blacks in America.<br />

John F. Kennedy, for all intents and purposes, had emerged as a white<br />

"mainstream" voice for Black America's political empowerment. As<br />

President of the United States, speaking out on behalf of Black concerns,<br />

John F. Kennedy short-circuited the long-time domination of the Black<br />

community by Jewish financial interests and placed himself in the center of<br />

the civil rights debate. The ADL and other "civil rights" organizations<br />

funded by the Jewish financial interests were pushed aside and made<br />

irrelevant. A white man of Irish Catholic descent—the grandson of a saloon
