The Associated Press noticed liberal Rev. Joseph Lowery's prayer raised eyebrows when he prayed for that day in the hazy future when "white will embrace what is right." That divisive note drew this headline: "Lowery gives sole inaugural note of racial caution."

This whole thing sets the tone..from the racist remarks to the jazzed up national hymns to the bungled up oafh of office...to the uninspiring speech...it was a bomb. And the disrespectful treatment of President Bush as he departs..
Sickening day.

many black leaders and Revs are because they know that if they put the slavery issue into the minds of the average black then it is those leaders who will make money on it.

Many blacks are angry and it is because of comments like those of this man

Excercise racial caution frequently. I think I’ll break here and get my racial supper in the oven.

that speech by the phony was a campaign speech nothing more.
It was putting down Bush left right and center.

I read nothing in the way of praise of Bush or thanks for keeping us safe.

The comes the racist bit which seemed to escape the white liberals

I was hoping that one of the musical guests would have sung "We Shall Overcome" with appropriate changes to the lyrics.

We have overcome.
We have overcome.
We have overcome, today.
For deep in my heart
I do believe
We have over come, today.

McCAin set the table for this, when he insisted noting the racial hatred from Obamaworld would not be mentioned, let alone a ‘issue’.

Thanks for nothing, Johnny.

...and let me say for the record that the speech was a disjointed patchwork of jargon and soaring phrases that obviously borrowed heavily from JFK's innaugural syntax. It was as though he read all of his favorite presidents addresses, lifted the phrases that struck him as ‘awe inspiring’ and then rewrote them by exchanging synonyms and then sewed the whole thing together. It was a hodge podge. It didn't flow and had no solid theme at its base.

Where Obama clearly shows he is not Lincoln is his inability to draw upon years of reading and internalizing original source material (The Bible), and imbuing his prose with divine language. Incidentally, that was Biden’s problem too, and like Obama, he was caught lifting phrases as well.

“white will embrace what is right.”

Department of Justice says that in 2007, the jail incarceration rate per 100,000 US citizens was:

170 - White
815 - Black
276 - Hispanic

“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.
