I have to agree with this - IMO the statistic where 'only' 94% of blacks voted for Obama was cherry picked from very affluent surburban polling areas, publicized by the left to further validate the 'non-partisan' election results.

I would bet that the true percentage of blacks that voted Obama is over 99%.....

Race hustlers will never admit the problem is solved....it would mean they'd need to get real jobs.

If "white has never done right" then why is it that around the world, the migration of people is usually from non-white nations to white nations?

In the USA, its latin peoples coming here...legally and illegally. In Europe, its Arabs and Turks moving to France, The Netherlands and Sweden.

In the past 400 years or so, you have never seen mass migrations from Norway to Egypt or from England to Sudan...do you?

When Zimbabwe was Rhodesia and the Dutch ran the place...they actually exported produce and the place was thriving. Look at modern day Zimbabwe under black rule. Its awash in corrpution and everyone is starving. Ditto for Haiti...the French let the natives have it and look at modern day Haiti - another mess.

While its true that slavery is a blight on America...if you ask me, "white has done right" more times in history than it has done wrong. It is often forgotten that many blacks in Africa sold their own people to the English and Dutch slave traders. Yes, they sold their own people out for slaves.

But lets not let a little thing like world history or facts get in the way of a good racially charged rhyming speech! Especially after Obama's speech about unity and putting racism aside.

I guess we'r in for 4 years of this type of offensive garbage...some sort of payback...whether most whites had anything to do with the downtroddenness of their ancestors or not.

Nice...

I was somewhat willing to chuckle at his joke, until he said "and white will do what is right." The others were talking about oppression of some kind, and the "white" comment simply made white people out to be the oppressors. I'm not even white (I'm not black either), and I didn't like that part at all.

In fact, I thought it put a real damper on his attempts at humor. It also seemed to kill the laughter from the crowd quite a bit.

Seems like letting go of the past involves all parties; not just the side that everyone thinks of.

His whole diatribe was the most childish thing I have ever heard...even without the offensive remarks. Other races should also be offended - it was a slap in the face to Asians, Latinos and Native Americans if you ask me.

Childish and race baiting....theres your change! LOL

Hot Air Blog Archive Inaugural benediction: Pray that “white will embrace what is right”

What a racist bastard...what if a white man had said that??? I think "white guilt" has officially paid its debts in full....
.

Evidently you may not be aware of Caucasian persons uttering that phrase. As a Child attending Elementary School, the Phrase was spoken to me by a White person.

While stationed in Camp Lejeune, N.C., I was visiting friend in a small town (Maple Hill, N.C) and the phrase was uttered to me on two Separate occassions by white persons.

In the 40's , 50's, and 60's: this phrase and thought processes were reiterated and reinforced in the Black community and Towards people of color:
If you’re white, you’re right,
If you’re yellow, you’re mellow,
If you’re brown, stick around,
If you’re black, get back.

Given that America Appears to have Elected our Current President based on the Content of his Character and his qualifications. The Reverend updated the phrase in his Benediction Prayer in the Hopes that People of Color would be viewed in a more positive Manner and People of different Races would deal more graciously with one another; therefore he revised the Phrase and put forth:

'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'...


I'm not trying to provide any excuses for the Reverend. I'm just trying to provide Historical Context for that Portion of his Benediction Prayer.

There were whites who've laid down their lives during the Civil Rights struggle, and I believe that the Reverends statement 'Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest...' refers equally to them.
