"When WHITE stands up for all things right"

[Tylermania]

Lord almighty..did I hear Rev. Joseph E. Lowery correctly??? Did he end his propaganda...ahem...I mean speech...uh...I mean Benediction by saying "When white stands up for all that is right" ??? Did I hear that? I wish he would have just gotten to the point and called me a "Honky" or "The Man"....heck even "White Devil"...I mean jeez if we are trying to unite a country what better way than making a limerick out of our colors and differences. Oh wait a second I think I get it now......it's like the colors of the rainbow...all colors together...oh wait isn't that the gay flag thingy..wow this politics thing is tricky!

At least his words dropped Ted"Whitey" Kennedy...so all is not lost.

[Steely Tom]

I believe his words were “when white embraces what is right.”

[Steely Tom]

"..when black will not be asked to get back,
when brown can stick around
when yellow can be mellow
when the red man can get ahead man
when white embraces what is right.."

[jessduntno]

“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 in back, when brown can stick around, when yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead, man; and when white will embrace what is right. That all those who do justice and love mercy say Amen. Say Amen” - Rev. Lowry During the 44th Inaugural of A US President

RE: "a limerick out of our colors and differences"

.. but the Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party) says we must come together. Go figure.

Some say that it's an old limerick bemoaning racism in America.. whatever, IMO it was totally out of place.

I am tired of hearing "it's (typical) white people's fault." Fifty-plus years and still counting.

As long as "civil rights" enterprises are moneymakers, we're stuck with it.

[Steely Tom]

Thing is, I thought we were there. Black is now President of the United States.

...more telling was Obambi shaking his head in agreement, with a grin, caught on cam, at the very moment. AT WHICH..we will all be told never happen.

[barbarianbabs]

why do they have to rhyme everything?

[stripes1776]

"..when black will not be asked to get back,
when brown can stick around
when yellow can be mellow
when the red man can get ahead man
when white embraces what is right.."

Like, wow, that must be really profound because it rhymes.

I am deeply offended. This is outrageous. As a European-American, I dream of a world where I will be judged on the content of my character and not on the basis of my skin color.

As a southpaw, I might also be offended if he is admonishing me to be, at best, ambidextrious, if not fully changing my orientation!

[texmexis best]

Wow! e rhymed “man” and “man”. Deucedly clever.....

I can’t wait to see the commentary on this speech by...

The Honorable James David Manning, PHD.

Should be good. Funniest man on the planet.

[TheWasteLand]

Thug who sat in racist church for 20 years has racist benediction. Why am I not surprised.

[Gator113]

You folks keep misunderstanding what was said, he said, “when white embraces what is Wright.”

We are there, but that doesn’t matter because we just elected a guy partly out of white guilt. Don’t expect rationality when you start with a foundation of an irrational emotion. There are still people who think the world is flat or that the sun is actually cold and everything we’re taught is a conspiracy, so naturally there will be many more people who complain that rampant white racism is still around, even during the cerimony of the most convincing evidence yet to the contrary.

[nbhunt]

would any of you expect anything different coming from the Obama people. If not....you ain't seen nothing yet.

Not surprising to me, look who Obama has been associating with for the past 20 years. REV WRIGHT. Same song, 2nd verse.

[goat granny]

I think lots of us here embrace all that is right. Its those that embrace all that is left that is the problem No one has the ability to offend me unless I let them...Lets not let them

[TBP]

So Lowery’s a racist.

So Obama supports racist preachers.

So what else is new?

[jessduntno]

The only thing missing was a reference to Algonquin J. Calhoun Esq. from Amos and Andy - time for these yahoos to climb into the new century...

[TBP]

why do they have to rhyme everything?

It's the only way they can remember it.
