The same can't be said of the Reverend Joseph E. Lowery, he ended his speech by taking the post-racial society and shoving it up the backside of white America.
We ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get in back, when brown can stick around, when yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead, man; and when white will embrace what is right, --Reverend Lowery
At the beginning of the primary season, the African-American community was supporting Hillary Clinton. It was the WHITE community that made Barack Obama the Democratic Party Candidate.
So what does he mean by White Embracing What is Right? In my mind if white America embraced what is right, someone ELSE would have been inaugurated today. Did today's post-racial inauguration end with calling white America RACIST?

Eventually whites are going to get tired of the put downs. The whole thing has been about how they are now not oppressed(by whitey) anymore. It’s been very insulting to whites.
If any of you don’t hear this horseObama and not understand they are going to go full out for reparations, you’re crazy.
That does it for me..... just about right!
Did today's post-racial inauguration end with calling white America RACIST?Yes. Why are you surprised?
"when white will embrace what is right,
Uh, I guess he doesn't know about all of the white Republicans that have embraced and practiced what's racially right from the mid-1800's 'til now, or about most of the Democrats that continually fought to keep Negroes in slavery and still keep them in welfare bondage.
Idiot.
Rev. Lowery:
It was white people who, for the first time in the history of the world said, We are strong enough to enslave other people, but it is wrong, and we are not going to do it any more.
It was white people who then pressed the rest of the (non-white) world to give up slavery. It was legal in parts of the Arab world until the 20th century.
It was white people who set up a government of laws guaranteeing them freedom. But that freedom presumed and required that individuals embrace right by regulating their own behavior, providing for their families, obeying the laws, respecting the property of others, and being productive.
It was white people who kept that system going and productive, and created a country which has given more freedom and prosperity to its citizens of all colors than any other country in the world.
It was white people who passed the civil rights laws that gave Obama and other minorities advantages that they could never have gotten on their own merits.
It is tens of millions of white people who have worked hard and paid the taxes that have supported millions of non-whites. I, personally, have had enough of my income confiscated each year to support the spawn of a couple of skanks who cant keep their knees together, and who are being raised to think I owe them even more.
Any person of any color who embraces right in this country can get ahead. Embracing right means work before pleasure, paying rent before buying bling, marriage before children, and all the other daily choices that constitute embracing right.
Damn you, you nasty old race baiter.
You should have cut off the title after the third word.
