How Good Was Reverend Joseph Lowery's Inauguration Scene-Stealing Benediction?
It was so good that the right wing nutzos are besides themselves and that fact is like putting an extra large cherry on a perfect hot fudge sundae. Check out Glenn "I hate minorities and women" Beck and Brit "I lied about my racist ass retiring" Hume on Presidential playa-hating Faux News.
Only folks like Glenn Beck would object to acknowledging the LONG American history of racial discrimination against minorities on the day the first minority President is sworn in. Beck represents the kind of folk that Obama was talking about, the kind of folks who will NEVER let go of their racist ideals and beliefs.
And because this particular series of Lowery's words pissed off the right wing-nuts so badly, I gleefully repeat them here. Enjoy!
"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 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."
