A racist reverend. Damn straight

[regulator 0]

The reverend and civil rights advocate who gave the benediction at President Obama’s inauguration suggested at a recent Obama re-election rally that he thinks white people are going to hell -- though he later said it was just a joke.

The Rev. Joseph Lowery spoke at a rally Saturday in Georgia. According to an account in the Monroe County Reporter, "Lowery said that when he was a young militant, he used to say all white folks were going to hell. Then he mellowed and just said most of them were.

"Now, he said, he is back to where he was," according to the newspaper.

"I don’t know what kind of a n----- wouldn’t vote with a black man running," he also told the audience in the St. James Baptist Church in Forsyth, Ga., according to the paper.

The 91-year-old Lowery, though, told an Atlanta-area TV station and the Daily Caller that the monologue was a joke and from the perspective of a young militant.

Lowery also said he made clear at the time that the comments -- at the event reportedly attended by hundreds of African Americans -- were intended as a joke.

Still, Forsyth Mayor John Howard said he was “pretty shocked” by the comments, according to the newspaper.

Lowery told the Daily Caller he doesn’t remember making the n-word comment.

“I never said that, I don’t remember saying that.”

Lowery was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2009 by President Obama. His benediction in 2009 for Obama's inauguration included one racially charged, though somewhat whimsical, line.

He closed with the following 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 yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead, man -- and when white will embrace what is right."

And because white people point out that blacks would vote 'just because' Obama is black get called racist

"I don’t know what kind of a n----- wouldn’t vote with a black man running," he also told the audience in the St. James Baptist Church in Forsyth, Ga., according to the paper.

These are words directly from one of the most influential people in BHO's life.

Exactly! Say what you want you are who you are associated with, and all his life he was mentored and guided by scum. BHO is a piece of shit.

Selective memory at its best.

And before anyone calls me a racist I voted for my black mayor(Dem), my black city councilman(Rep), and would have voted for Herman Cain if he was running against BHO.

Obama basically said he didn't pay much attention to Rev. Wright's sermons, so he probably didn't listen to this guy much either.

The more influential people in his life are much more troublesome. Frank Marshall Davis, Edward Said, Roberto Unger.

People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

You know how this is going to work, right? The good reverend isn't racist for saying those things, you're racist for noticing he said them.

Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful.

Was that because they were running against other black folk?

Nope I a white republican voted for a black dem when there were other choices including a white republican. He was the better choice, and won.

Actually that statement isn't racists. But in your hightened state of arousal you fucked up the line. you likely meant:

And because white people point out that blacks would vote for Obama 'just because' Obama is black get called racist.

Those two sentences kinda mean something different

And yeah, the statements by the reverend are pretty racist.

African Americans, as a group, are far worse off now than they were when Obama came to power and the gap between whites and blacks in terms of wealth and income has increased under Obama's tenure. The overall rate of unemployment may be close to where it was when Obama took office, but black unemployment is up 11%. Meanwhile the wealth gap has doubled during this recession with the average white American now having 22 times more wealth than their black counterparts. So too has the educational achievement gap with the rate at which white Americans graduate from high school growing at a far faster clip than black students.

Well, which was it Rev Lowery...a joke or didn't say it. Pick one and stick with it.



....and somebody would defend this guy...unbelievable.

My reality and yours are quite different.

Obama: This May Not Be The Ideal Moment Politically, But It’s Time To Talk Reparations

Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.
