Benediction at Obama 's inauguration, Rev. Joseph Lowery: '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 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'...

You’re white, the smallest race on the planet and the most successful. Sorry, it is all your fault the others failed to create anything in their societies.

Get a clue....whites are the only one who embrace wrong and injustice. The sooner you get that, the easier this lobotomy without anesthesia will be....

You ain’t seen nuthin yet.

We got four years coming of telling us that the slaves built America.

The slaves did this. The slaves did that. The slaves invented gravity.

I tend not to get offended.

I simply thought it was vulgar, hateful, racist, and bigoted.

Pretty much what I’d expected.

“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.

This “benediction” (or whatever) is disgusting. It is an example of black racism. So much for “unity.”

I just assumed that this is only the begining and I will have to get used to it. It wont change my opinions but this whole thing (election, etc)I find offensive. Being labled as a white man and need to do right is well okay with me. I will continue to do what is right.
