Longtime African-American civil rights advocate Rev. Joseph Lowery told The Daily Caller that he was joking when he told a get-out-the-vote event that all whites will go to hell.
It was a joke that was supposed to show the perspective of a young militant, Lowery told The DC. When I said it, I said it was a joke, I identified it as a joke.
However, attendees at the African-American event Oct. 27 were reportedly horrified.
An Oct. 31 article in the Monroe County Reporter newspaper reports that Lowery, who gave the benediction at the January 2009 inauguration of President Barack Obama, told the audience of up to 300 African-Americans that when he was a young militant, he used to say all white folks were going to hell. Then he mellowed and just said most of them were. Now, he said, he is back to where he was.

Golly! As a so-called “white” American, I’m fed up with these racist pigs calling 88% of this country names. May he and his whole crowd go do hell.

And a long time ago, some people thought that lynching black people and burning them and their families alive was just a good time.
It’s called evolution. Get with the program, you lying racist.

Ol’ black man wishing that all honkys are goin’ to hell is just a joke.
White boy repeating an n-word joke is a mfer racist and should be crucified.
Don’t say boy, it’s racist. Don’t be offended by mfer, it’s just their culture.
That’s the liberal mindset in America today.
Just my 2cents.

A young militant(Commie sypathizer) nuff said about this joke.

That is the same statement made by the black thugs Bernie Goetz shot. Funny but I can’t recall a group of white criminals ever making that arguemnt.
Some think that the prospect of Obama banning guns is what is driving record sales. I think that whites, whether they say so publicly or not, see blacks becoming more brazen and more violent in their attacks on whites.

Lowery is a worthless lying racist. Calling himself a Reverend is the real joke.

Blacks have never been of great value to our society. For some weird reason they turned their obvious failings into resentment against us for their failings both collective and individual.

You decide if he's a lying racist pig or just a racist comedian...
Video (from the previous day):
GABEO Rev. Dr. Joseph E. Lowery
5:20
"It wasn't Lincoln who got rid of slavery. It was the slaves."
8:20 He LIES about Romney's income tax. Says that he is corrupt. Says that Senator Harry Reid told him so!
10:40
"Black people and white people who think black."
Civil rights icons pump Obama in Forsyth
He said he would like to see the national anthem changed to 'Lift Every Voice," which is known as the 'Negro National Anthem,'...
"I don't know what kind of a n----- wouldn't vote with a black man running," said Lowery. "All that he did with the stimulus was genius. Nobody intelligent would risk this country with Romney."
"We've turned our backs on the faith," said Lowery. "America is going to hell in a hand basket. We need to straighten up so God can use us."
Lowery said that when he was a young militant, he used to say all white folks were going to hell. Then he mellowed and just said most of them were. Now, he said, he is back to where he was.

That picture looks like pretty good evidence that this church doesn’t qualify for tax exempt status.
