While watching the Presidential inauguration I could not believe the racial prayer at the end by the Rev Joseph Lowery. For those of you that missed it here was the end:"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 yellow will be mellow ... 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.
What? When black will not be asked to sit in back??????? Yellow will be mellow???? What does that mean? When the red man can get ahead??? White will embrace what is right????? A black man was just elected to the highest office in the country and this was the closing prayer.
And I thought it was a day of celebration! Unbelievable!
