I shocked at the White remark in Lowery's prayer
Quote:
|
LOWERY: Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from there 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 would embrace what is right, let all those who do justice and love mercy say amen.

Give us Whites a break man!

If it were a white praying; that the black will embrace what is right...
He would have been booed off the stage.

That shows how one sided we've become.

My opinion is this will never change because some people have victim mentality and the blame is always whites. They don't blame the government or the police department, they blame whites
Of course "they" is refering to those like this man. We are not all like that thank God

Re: I shocked at the White remark in Lowery's pray
Spare me please, he was just trying to find someting that rhymed.
Brown - Around
Yellow - Mellow
Red - Ahead
White - Right
For those who took the SAT or ACT, you'll notice that the prayer was pretty simple and not meant to be taken as a racist statement but mere rhyming.

Thank you!! As I tried to explain on the other thread about this same subject, it is the rhetoric of the Black Baptist preacher...nothing to get up in arms about.

I'd agree, just a closing rhyme, to a beuatiful prayer.
I'll welcome a prayer for me to do right anytime.

There were many heroes of the civil rights era. Men and women who demonstrated great courage by standing up to injustice without allowing themselves to be tainted by the hate.
Joseph Lowery was not one of those heroes.
And to excuse him because "he's black?" No way. It was a deliberately insensitive and divisive thing to say.
