Whites Finally “Embrace What is Right”
January 20, 2009 · Filed Under Inauguration
Reverend Joseph Lowery delivered the inauguration benediction for Barack Obama, which included a curious passage…
‘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’
We need to “work for that day… when white will embrace what is right”?
There is just so much positivity today, eh?
