We have witnessed some of the most blatant racism in our country over the last few months and it has gone totally unchecked. I am talking about the racism against white people.
Rev. Joseph Lowery's Inaugural benediction yesterday:
"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, when yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead, man, and when white will embrace what is right."
So in a Presidential Inauguration, a man prayed that "white will embrace what is right." He prayed that about a whole people group lumping all white people into one group and saying they needed to embrace what was right. That indicates that white people currently don't embrace what is right.
What would have been the reaction if any other people group was singled out other than white people? There would have been a storm of controversy. The president would be forced to denounce the statement.
