Rev. Joseph Lowery delivers benediction at inaugural ceremonyWASHINGTON (CNN) – The Rev. Joseph Lowery, a leader during the civil rights movement and former president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, delivered the inaugural ceremony's benediction Tuesday on the west front of the U.S. Capitol.
Reverend Joseph Lowery.
"We truly give thanks for the glorious experience we've shared this day," Lowery, 87, said in delivering the prayer.
He asked that Americans cling to the spirit of fellowship embodied at the inauguration.
"We ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to give 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," Lowery said.
This dumb, old racist windbag, this is who Obama chooses to speak for him? What does mean when "black will not be asked to give back"? Blacks won't need to pay taxes as some reparation for slavery? Or how about when "yellow will be mellow"? An inference to the japanese during World War 2? The chinese now? The Koreans? Jesus, give me a break on this racist clown. Orientals are actually some of the nicest and kindest people in the world and some of the smartest too. "When the red man can get ahead"? We live in the country with the greatest freedoms and opportunities in the world! But my favorite "When white will embrace what is right". White people elected Obama, you dumb old windbag. This is who Obama chose? Everyone should be offended but you won't see this in the mainstream media. How offensive.
What scares me is the mainstream media has already begun to shelter Obama from even the tiniest things to keep him from ever looking poorly. Last night, Robin Roberts when speaking to Obama said how wonderful it was that Obama helped Chief Justice Roberts with the inauguration. Did she see it? Obama was nervous and stumbled over his words. If we need to protect Obama when he stumbles from nervousness, what lengths will they go to protect him when something really bad happens. Disturbing.
