At least his words dropped Ted"Whitey" Kennedy...so all is not lost.
I believe his words were “when white embraces what is right.”
Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, 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. That all those who do justice and love mercy say Amen. Say Amen - Rev. Lowry During the 44th Inaugural of A US President
.. but the Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party) says we must come together. Go figure.
Some say that it's an old limerick bemoaning racism in America.. whatever, IMO it was totally out of place.
I am tired of hearing "it's (typical) white people's fault." Fifty-plus years and still counting.
As long as "civil rights" enterprises are moneymakers, we're stuck with it.
why do they have to rhyme everything?
Wow! e rhymed “man” and “man”. Deucedly clever.....
I can’t wait to see the commentary on this speech by...
The Honorable James David Manning, PHD.
Should be good. Funniest man on the planet.
Thug who sat in racist church for 20 years has racist benediction. Why am I not surprised.
Not surprising to me, look who Obama has been associating with for the past 20 years. REV WRIGHT. Same song, 2nd verse.
So Lowery’s a racist.
So Obama supports racist preachers.
So what else is new?
I find the comments offensive and also troubling that we now have a President who seems to be supportive os racism. Race relations have now been set back 40 or more years....
Is anyone surprised to see racism at BO’s inaugural? I’d be surprise if it hand’t been there, given what we know about the First America Haters.
Its hate whitey again. The theme for the Oministration?
I’m not offended by it , I knew for a long time if they got there chance they would act this way , but everytime I said something about it I was called a bigot by some people on this forum, but again I’m not living in la..la..land either , I’m not a racist But I be damn if I’m going to listen to there bullshit about how bad they have it or been mistreated, then over half of white america votes them in and they still act this way. kiss my ass.for those that voted for him when you lose your homes ,jobs , benefits , rights ,american values go straight to hell. I do not want to here you cry.you deserve it
I have never been as personally angry as I am now at a President. It was bad enough that Joe Biden accused me (not personally, but my demographic) of being selfish and unpatriotic....but now I’m racist? I try to live morally and generously...but I’m judged because of the race of my parents!? Below is the body of a letter I’ve written and plan on sending to the White House tomorrow. Not visceral, but I hope they understand they stepped in it with this act.—
Dear Mr. President:
To say the least, Im highly offended by the words used in your closing benediction, when white will embrace what is right. How racist! Im sure this was reviewed prior to the ceremony and it shows to me a divisive and hateful spirit.
Well, this letter is from someone who cannot change the color of her skin, and desires to be judged by the content of her character. I have never written to the President before, and I hope to never feel compelled to do so again.
I have every respect for the office of the Presidency and I expect my position as a responsible citizen of the United States would be honored and respected as well.
Me sniff zotness.
He’s right, white did not stand up for what is right. They let this man who has no experience get to the highest elected office simply because he is, sort of, a black man. White most certainly did not stand up for what is right, at least some white people did not.
Note: the Dunkin Donut people ( I was in the drive-thru ) had to wear Obama shirts today..and the Rev's color remarks had the two ladies hanging out the window saying.."I am not surprised" in disgust.... as it was on the radio at that time.
