Well, Truman was a racist cockpunt, so that really only leaves JFK in the running.

Ironically, Truman has a better civil rights record than JFK (not into revisionist history).

Besides some quote from when he was like 20 years old or some sh*t living in the first couple of decades of the 20th century in freakin Missouri, what relevant citations do you have?

I'm not going to debate that the man was racist (let's be real honest here, most people who grew up before the 1930s probably held deeply racist views by today's standards), but what exactly qualifies him as a "racist cockpunt", which implies a degree bit more racist than "racist"?

Also relevant: http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/Harry_Truman_civil_rights.htm

It is quite clear he evolved on the issue.

1] Truman
2] Clinton
3] JFK

3 strong presidents, not much space in between Clinton and JFK.

Kennedy has particulary piss-poor, cowardish record as Senator.
