....we ask you to help us work for that day where black won't be asked to get back, where brown can stick around, when yella' will be mella', when the red man can get ahead, man- and when white will embrace what is right. Let all of those who will do justice and love mercy say 'Amen'. AMEN! Say AMEN. AMEN!...and Amen. AMEN!

  • I posted this video because I thought it was a genius moment of levity in an otherwise serious inauguration. I never thought for a minute that the Reverends comments would be viewed as racist (and I'm white). I think we should all enjoy this historic moment and not look try to read between the lines when there aren't any. I mean, are asians supposed to be offended at the hope that "yella' will be mella'" Come on. Let's all enjoy this moment. I'm happy to witness this historic occasion!!!

  • I'm telling you man I was so nervous about what he was going to say about white, but my goodness he hit it square. That's my bro from now on. Love him.

  • "equality"???

    Tell me what you see equal about One sided funds like the United Negro College fund OR special funds for the education of illegal immigrants OR Black Entertainment Television OR special lending for minorities. I could go on, but I think you see the point.

    Until everything is equally available to everyone, there is no equality. As it stands, your government wants you to believe minorities couldn't get ahead without public assistance and social progtams.

    It's not true...

see all

  • People who call this racist are missing the point; you reduce his speech to each line and mutate its true sentiment, and attempt to fit your own stereotype and agenda upon it; you should actually be taking the holistic message that race is something that shouldn't separate us, or cause the world trouble.

    Besides, there was a need to rhyme white with something. Chillax people, everything's going to be fine. You white folk sure get angry. ;)
