I shocked at the White remark in Lowery's prayer

[PraiseHymn]

Lets see what Webster's dictionary says a racist would be: 1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
2 : racial prejudice or discrimination
With that said, EVERYONE here on this website knows good and well what happened during slavery times. It was White individuals who sold African's (now called African American's) into slavery here in the United States of America.

We (BLACK PEOPLE) were not able to vote until 1869 "Passed by Congress February 26, 1869. Ratified February 3, 1870.

15th amendment.
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

Why??????? Because white people did not want us to vote. Was that right? NO!!!!!!!!!

There was segregation between White people and Black people (such as eating in a restaurant, drinking from a water fountain, using a rest room, attending school, going to the movies, or in the rental or purchase of a home) WHY??? Because white people wanted segregation. It was not until the 1960's that this stopped (to an extent) Was that right? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The two major examples that I just presented are clear that as a whole WHITE people did not do the RIGHT thing by blacks, so with that said no one on this board can point not one finger to say that what Lowery said was racist. Its the truth!

Granted, we now are in 2009 and have a black president and by no means and I trying to pull the "race card" but it is a proven fact that the United Stated of America never intended for black people to achieve anything higher than picking the masters cotton.

Ohhhh, we have all come a mighty long way, but the tables can never, no, WILL NEVER be able to be turned when it comes to what White Americans did to Black Americans in the past. Its a one way street. So in essence, a white person could never say "until blacks do whats right" when we are talking about racial inequality.

For the record, I'm not a racist nor did I see the statement that Lowery made to be a racist remark. Stop trying to rewrite history. It is what it is. White people did black people wrong (in the past) and now FINALLY we have begun to heal from all the pain and hurt that was caused. I thank and praise Jesus Christ (who is God almighty) that finally we are beginning to be as one. AMERICANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
