If a white guy broke out into rhyme during a presidential inaugural prayer he'd be ridiculed for the rest of his life.

@stahlwerke Joseph lowery stands up for his kind and his kind only... The speech was not meant for everyone... If u think that... I suggest u listen between the lines

@feaadfaerie You can't outweigh ignorance because ignorance beholds the very principle every human beeing lives by. Including you. Otherwise you wouldn't be here on youtube, trying to get people to understand things your way. Because that's what you please. Your way. The Reverend did a good job. What is your job on this planet? Stick to it.

@tighmir You suck major balls introducing yourself as a black man to keep this issue alive, while the speech itself was clearly meant for all of us on this planet.

and was that Ruth Ann Minner in the background at the end??

ok. im black and i understand the historical issue... but why when something like this happens black people have to take over the show and make a big statement... we all know he is the first bi-racial president, we can all see that... we dont need a constant reminder... now i know, no one will ever elect another black president because this one sucks major balls...

I respect this fine man of God.
He has a great understanding of the nature of man. I hope all who listen will be open minded to what he is expressing.
He is wonderful and as far as I am concerned a gift from God.
Let all those who will do justice and love mercy say "Amen". Amen!

During the benediction, I don't believe that Lowry was being racist. You just have to know that he was using old slogans from the Civil Rights movement. I believe he was making a point about how Obama taking office was a point of fulfillment of those slogans--that there's still work to do...making the inside match up with the outside.
But that's just my two cents.
