Lowery recited an old civil rights poem/prayer whatever you want to call it, and to my mind was saying, It has come to pass, "AMEN".
Some of you sensitive souls need to take a long look in your mirror.
see? the guy said nothing wrong in my opinion.
tell me, do you think others here are whining about what Lowry said?
Totally agree. And if preacher's can't be controversial, who can?Lowery recited an old civil rights poem/prayer whatever you want to call it, and to my mind was saying, It has come to pass, "AMEN".

I don't think he does, though I can understand why a white boy would. lol.Especially when our President holds the same values as said preacher...

maybe in you mind but he asked the Lord to help us "work for that day when--------" implying that it has not occurred yet.
look--whites aren't going to go whining to the National Association for the Advancement of white people and demand an apology. They are merely pointing out the guys attitude.
People were pointing out his attitude almost a day ago. Now it's just bitching and trying to connect this to Obama somehow.
White is the color of the majority.
When white embraces what is right is when white people accept that racism is wrong.
History is what he is speaking of, you can pretend it was not part of the American experience but you would be dead wrong.
So goes the same with the way in certain places women are treated.How about this .. African-Americans have been in America for nearly 400 years and have only been RELATIVELY FREE for 42 years.
Blacks still do not have the same freedoms as whites .. any questions see the war on drugs, otherwise known as the war on black people, the criminal injustice system, and the murders of unarmed black men by police who pay no penalty for their crimes.

The fact is hatred breeds more hatred. Discrimination of any kind is plain ignorance and lack of understanding.
People are people no matter where one goes. Not one is better than the other. They just have been taught or learned different values/morals.
My ninth grade education is no less than your college degree depending on where or what we are doing. I can build a septic or filtration system you can write a more elequent essay. That does not say that either of of put our pants on any different, the pants still can only accept one leg in each hole.
It would be well if more people would learn to watch what they say in speeches and benedictions. The man obviously did piss off some white men out there in cyberland. On a whole poverty is a tragedy for all people white, yellow, red or black. Poverty is a condition that breeds intolerance.
I know Rev. Lowery very well and he is a brilliant man who understands the tragedy of poverty more than most and who is closer to the embodiment of MLK than anyone else alive.
What he said was absolutely true and if that truth "upset some white men" that's really too bad considering unarmed black men are being murdered by police and the American criminal injustice system is racist to its core .. making America the greatest prison nation in human history. Why aren't those white men upset about that truth?
It most certainly was--even Obama got it and laughed. Why ???????

Willow a lot of it is how people grow up in the Hood. It is that simple. Poverty or drug use lifestyle is a trap that people have a very hard time overcoming.[/B]
I'm a dumb white girl wo you are going to have to explain to me how black people who choose to take drugs are denied freedom. That's what you say out of this side of your mouth, out of the other side of you mouth you are likely to scream legalize drugs. I definitely get what you mean by the police brutality. That Oakland deal is a terrible thing. And lastly you need to tell us what you want. Do you want an American society or do you want a Black and White American society? Choose one .
