The Reverend Joseph Lowery, Inaugural Benediction
January 20, 2009 for Barack Obama

this is what reverend joseph said in his inaugural benediction....HILARIOUS!
this is what he said!
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 — (laughter) — when yellow will be mellow — (laughter) — when the red man can get ahead, man — (laughter) — and when white will embrace what is right.

THANK YOU!! I watched that, and my jaw hit the FLOOR. What kind of a prayer is that. Honestly that is the most ridiculous racist prayer I have ever heard. And it was broadcast everywhere. YOW!!

Marisa, I just found your blog through Kristin Smiths. It was nice to see you and your dang cute baby at S&P the other day. I was hoping everything was ok. Last I saw of you there was you asking about the Health Unit's ph. #. Was everything ok?
Anyway I'm glad you are in Raytown now and I really think we need to get together -- take the kiddies swimming at NS or when it gets warmer go walking or something...anyway you can check out my blog at www.kinleejae.blogspot.com
and I Hope you don't mind me adding you to my list too. See you soon. That prayer is ridiculous by the way--I can't believe that's for real!!
