Joe Lower's speech at - "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'..."

Or part of it anyway.

Sure sounds like it.

This is a big reason why racism will never go away, people keep living in the past and thinking in the past.

@chisa96 Said

wow... just wow... ill have to watch that later... reading that, it sounds like he should be crucified no matter what color he is...

besides... racism is not the big issue in this country anymore... what more do they plan to do in the name of equality?

@loveis Said

I'm by no means a racist. But talk like this absolutely infuriates me!!

I mean, most slaves were first made slaves by their own people, yet, it's the whites only that keep getting mentioned, and pointed out as the oppressor! So LONG after it's all been over too..

I've been fair, and kind, and just, to everyone in my path, regardless of color, my whole life, and hearing that speech he gave really did something to me, something negative, that just isn't sitting right with me!!

..I don't appreciate the implication!!

I think that Bush could have done better,but unforetunetly he is only human and we ALL screw up,so atleast look at it this way,he can't do anymore harm.

And I'm sure that speech wasn't meant to be racist,but from reading your posts,I could see how You would see it like that.

No Offence,really,I'm just saying.

@RunningForRansome Said

Well maybe if you were in their position you would do the same.Think about if your ancestors had been tortured you would still be angry too.

@raditz8526 Said

Whites don't embrace what is right......nope. No racism there.

@RunningForRansome Said

*sighs*
As intelligent as you seem you can't seem to get past the fact that the ONLY reason you put up the post is because you don't like Obama.But for not liking Bush you sure don't complain about him much.


...nope.No racism there.
