It's an issue with me. Celebrating anything based on skin color is divisive and racist.

Doesn't bother me at all. Black gospel music is actually a part of history that is positive.

"Singing, praying, sitting, eating and laughing with us for hours was indicative of his love for God,” continued McClurkin, who was asked by President Bush to pray for the dinner. “He is a president that openly acknowledges God.”


You can either focus on the positive or negative aspects of this story -- I have chosen the former (as indicated by the above quote) and you have chosen the latter. I'm quite certain that I will move on to have the better day!!

I have to agree. It's condescending as well. (Besides that, he didn't mention Nat King Cole and Charlie Pride. ;>)

That's the beauty of America. You can celebrate whatever you wish, just don't attempt to force it on me or those to happen to not share that heritage.
