Excuse Dr. Lowery, but just because I'm white doesn't mean I don't embrace what's right. (VANITY)

Don't get too excited. You saw a time dilation factor at work. That came directly from Lowry's memories of 45 years ago.

BTW, he read it off wrong too ~ there are a couple of other verses in there. Catch the "man" ~ which is a present tense exclamation - I suspect he's near to losing that whole litany.

Now, anyone know the source? Stokely Carmichael? Martin Luther King? Ralph Abernathy? Maybe someone one unknown?

Anyway it's not seemly to beat up on guys in their late 80s although Jimmuh KKkkartuh is fair game eh!

There's "triumphalism" in all of this.

That'll last about a month ~ maybe less.

Just like happened when Governor Wilder became Governor, Virginia's black people discovered that a politician is a politician, and a governor is a governor.

Except for a couple of issues Wilder was pretty much like having a Midwestern Republican governor.

This is going to happen with Obama as well, and you'll see him getting rid of some of his closest advisors simply because their material is not helping him deal with reality.

"..and when white will embrace what is right."

We melanin-challenged folks, cherishing the right to keep and bear Arms, do embrace what is right.

This can't be the first time that you've heard that, merely because you're white, you're an evil racist?

Come on...

I would have been more shocked by hearing words of conciliation, of moving forward and hearing.

Wonderful example you set there.

Don't forget what lizzie alex implied -- only black people worked on and in the Capital buildings. Us whiteys just sat on the stoop with a whip in one hand and a mint julep in the other.

It’s the same old “Liberation Theology” that Rev. Jeremiah Wright teaches.

Wright was to “tainted” to do it so he asked Rev. Wright’s mirror image to do it.

Simple.

I think it originated from:

"They says: "If you was white,
You's alright,
If you was brown,
Stick around,
But if you's black, oh, brother,
Get back, get back, get back."

Get Back (Black, Brown and White)

If you continue to defend racist comments like that, you can bet you’ll be getting flack from normal people

I winced hearing Lowry’s rif but considered that it came from an old man who had been subjected to much brutality in an effort to achieve equality. It may have been difficult for him to be gracious. He should have been.

But Obama shares no part of the American Black slave heritage.

More likely, Obama's daddy was a descendant of the black africans that sold other black africans into slavery. So he possibly shares a small part of the American Black slave heritage -- just not the part they would like to focus on.

Normal folks in your neighborhood may beat up on the elderly. I make it a practice to not do so. If that doesn’t meet your standards take a flying leap eh!

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.”

No, it was a civilization that embraced Judeo-Christian ethics and faith that did it. Race had and has nothing to do with it.

Other than that, good rant. But give credit to where it's due -- Judeo-Christianity abolished slavery.

Am I allowed to complain about this statement as much as the homosexuals complained abut Warren

Oh, yeah, that’s right, I’m a white heterosexual. Never-mind, I’ll slink back to my racist cave. Forgot that only white heterosexuals are racist
