Excerpts of JFKs Quotes contd We believe therefore that the federal government has no moral choice but to take the initiative. How can we say to a negro in Jackson: When a war comes you will be an American citizen, but in the meantime youre a citizen of Mississippi and we cant help you. How, by any moral standard, can we tell our negro citizens: Our forefather brought your forefather over here against their will, and we going to make you pay for it. Yet isnt that just what the argument boils down to? The United States is dominated by the white people, politically and economically. The question is whether we, in this position of dominance, are going to have not the charity but the wisdom to stop penalizing our fellow citizen whose only fault or sin is that they are born.
