Pastor who prayed at Obama’s inauguration says all white people will go to hell

Pastor Joseph Lowery, a civil rights movement hero who delivered the benediction at President Obama’s inauguration, reportedly said that he is shocked that any black Americans would stay home with Obama on the ballot and suggested that all or most white people would go to hell.

The local outlet paraphrases Lowery’s comments. “Lowery said that when he was a young militant, he used to say all white folks were going to hell,” the Monroe County Reporter (Ga.) says in covering a rally in Forsyth, Georgia. “Then he mellowed and just said most of them were. Now, he said, he is back to where he was.”

yeah, but I’m the racist because I am a Christian, business owner that I built, gun owner, former military and I hate this marxist punk.

I believe it was Twain who said he’d take heaven for the climate and he’ll for the company. No further comment on my part would be prudent

Well, Pastor Lowery, I suppose if all white people aren’t going to hell you can take some comfort knowing that obozo is doing his level best to bring hell to white (and all other) Americans.

Its very clear to me now after reading this article why Abraham Lincoln wanted to send Blacks back to Africa following the Civil War...

The 91-year-old Lowery worked with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and played a key role in various important moments in the civil rights movement, such as the march from Selma, Ala., to Montgomery, Ala. “Lowery was awarded the Medal of Freedom in 2009 by Obama and was elected earlier this year to lead the state’s delegation to the Democratic national convention,” the Georgia Tipsheet recalled.

Shaking my head.

The article says he promoted tolerance during his speech at Obama's inauguration, but the writer is mistaken.

He said,

"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 back, when brown can stick around -- (laughter) -- when yellow will be mellow -- (laughter) -- when the red man can get ahead, man -- (laughter) -- and when white will embrace what is right."

There's nothing tolerant about saying white people are not embracing what is right or are immoral. I guess that's why we're all headed to hell.

There’s a charter school amendment on Georgia’s ballot. Lowery is spreading lies about it. The comments are interesting. Lots of black parents want charter schools for their children.

Does that include Barry’s mom?

Of course.

Still touchy about that slavery business apparently.

I think that’s largely behind us now.

It will never be behind us. Just like muslims and the Crusades.

“Well, lucky for us that he has no say in the matter.”

‘Kinda makes one wonder what will happen to those throwing stones first.

What a ridiculous reply.

Today, Joseph Lowery said he was joking when he made those comments. It was a very bad joke, but I believe him. He doesn’t hate white people. Nobody who’s ever spent any time with him thinks he does.

I can’t abide his politics.
