Report: Reverend Who Said All Whites Are Going to Hell Will Be at Obama's Election-Night Party

The Rev. Joseph Lowery’s proclamation — that all white people are hell-bound — apparently isn’t controversial enough for President Barack Obama to distance himself from the faith leader. Just days after the Monroe County Reporter highlighted the 91-year-old preacher’s alleged race-based proclamation (one that the preacher has since dismissed as a mere joke), Lowery will reportedly spend time with the Obama family on election night.

The Georgia Tipsheet has more the civil rights leader’s election-night plans:

…the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Tuesday morning that Lowery, who was among the president’s earliest supporters in the state and delivered the benediction at his 2009 inauguration, would be at the Obama campaign’s election night party in Chicago. A campaign spokeswoman did not respond to a request for confirmation by Tipsheet, however.

Lowery has since clarified that his remarks were intended as a joke–one, he said, he’s told a “million” times previously–even as the small-town journalist who first reported them denies that characterization.

Barry, Holder, Jarrett are all white mixed blacks. I know from my experience in going to an inner city high school that mulatto’s feel kinship to blacks and often did as much stuff as they could to separate themselves from whites just to affirm their “blackness” to other blacks. That included doing things like thefts and outright violence to white students only.

The most dangerous people in any society are always the ones who hate who they are. All three of the above mixed whites hate their own white blood and as a result they hate other whites and that is who Jarrett was talking about with her “time to get even” remark. Call me a racist...I don’t care. I’m not the one who played the race card first here. They did.
