Most people are too intelligent to take Lowery’s crap seriously. He only appeals to those people who think everything any black does is wonderful.

Reverend Lowery is probably going to find himself under the bus in a matter of days.

I will embrace what is right. What is right is that a boy is respectful towards adults, works hard in school, becomes a man, gets a job, works hard and honest, and if he fathers children he takes care of them. End of lesson.

“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

Did some elementary kiddy write that? Most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Took a lot of digging to come up with that. Pathetic. All colors have everything they need here in America and especially blacks haven't been asked to sit in the back in years.

Lowery’s comments really were the turd in the punchbowl. When I heard of it, my thought was, “Oh great, everyone’s very worst fears just came true. Are we in for eight years of this kind of childist chip-on-my-shoulder race-baiting behavior?”

Recall Obama’s impressive comportment when Rush Limbaugh first started airing his “Magic Negro” spoof: Now, too few people knew the backstory on that, starting with a leftist L.A. Times columnist comparing Obama to a literary archetype of that name, and the Al Sharpton singing voice tweaking that worthy’s huffy behavior around that time. Instead, most folks just hear the ghetto accent and the song’s refrain and conclude that Limbaugh was being around-the-bend racist. But not Obama; asked about it, he just chuckled, said he could see the humor, and said he doesn’t get upset about such things. Impressive. That was the first time I thought, “Uh-oh, this guy could go all the way.”

Lowery should have borrowed a note from that. I’m very disappointed.

It was pretty tactless. They let a homo-phobe open, and a racist close. Not really the best picks to have speak.

I have noticed over time that elder black generation hold hard onto past grievances... don't expect this kind of language to pass any time soon. It’ll be another 30 years before most of these grievances, real or perceived, pass into the grave... patience is a virtue.

He sounds like the mad hatter. People who take this turdhead seriously are either way too far off their meds, or they are sick as Charles Manson. The only reason brown can stick around is because people take this piece of poop seriously.

That’s why blacks are celebrating saying, “yeah, man, see how we stuck it to whitey”.

Lowery is a racialist who is permanently stuck in the 60’s. He can’t grasp the idea that if you save and invest (right now CD’s only) you will do fine. OTOH if you spend your money on liquor and lottery tickets you might not do so well.

I found the phrase "when yellow will be mellow.." even MORE offensive (than the white reference).

I would hope, that the anti-defamation organizations representing Asian-Americans (who, presumably were targeted by the "yellow" reference, and who are statistically USA's most "successful" immigrant group) would SCREAM about how inappropriate Lowery's comments were.

Nothing sets the tone for an administration like an Inaugural prayer to God.
Looks like "white ain't right" for at least the next four years.

If any of you don’t hear this horseObama and not understand they are going to go full out for reparations, you’re crazy.

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 can’t 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.
