The Reverend Joseph Lowery, Inaugural Benediction
January 20, 2009

God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, thou who has brought us thus far along the way, thou who has by thy might led us into the light, keep us forever in the path, we pray, lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met thee, lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget thee. Shadowed beneath thy hand may we forever stand — true to thee, O God, and true to our native land.

We truly give thanks for the glorious experience we’ve shared this day. We pray now, O Lord, for your blessing upon thy servant, Barack Obama, the 44th president of these United States, his family and his administration. He has come to this high office at a low moment in the national and, indeed, the global fiscal climate. But because we know you got the whole world in your hand, we pray for not only our nation, but for the community of nations. Our faith does not shrink, though pressed by the flood of mortal ills.

For we know that, Lord, you’re able and you’re willing to work through faithful leadership to restore stability, mend our brokenness, heal our wounds and deliver us from the exploitation of the poor or the least of these and from favoritism toward the rich, the elite of these.

We thank you for the empowering of thy servant, our 44th president, to inspire our nation to believe that, yes, we can work together to achieve a more perfect union.

And while we have sown the seeds of greed — the wind of greed and corruption, and even as we reap the whirlwind of social and economic disruption, we seek forgiveness and we come in a spirit of unity and solidarity to commit our support to our president by our willingness to make sacrifices, to respect your creation, to turn to each other and not on each other.

And now, Lord, in the complex arena of human relations, help us to make choices on the side of love, not hate; on the side of inclusion, not exclusion; tolerance, not intolerance.

And as we leave this mountaintop, help us to hold on to the spirit of fellowship and the oneness of our family. Let us take that power back to our homes, our workplaces, our churches, our temples, our mosques, or wherever we seek your will.

Bless President Barack, First Lady Michelle. Look over our little, angelic Sasha and Malia.

We go now to walk together, children, pledging that we won’t get weary in the difficult days ahead. We know you will not leave us alone, with your hands of power and your heart of love.

Help us then, now, Lord, to work for that day when nation shall not lift up sword against nation, when tanks will be beaten into tractors, when every man and every woman shall sit under his or her own vine and fig tree, and none shall be afraid; when justice will roll down like waters and righteousness as a mighty stream.

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 — (laughter) — when yellow will be mellow — (laughter) — when the red man can get ahead, man — (laughter) — and when white will embrace what is right.

Let all those who do justice and love mercy say amen.

Audience: Amen!

Rev. Lowery: Say amen –

Audience: Amen!

Rev. Lowery: — and amen.

Audience: Amen! (Cheers, applause.)

Since when did I all of a sudden repress someone? I don't care if someone is white, black, asian, hispanic, or American Indian. See, in the military, you're all the same color...green.

It's B.S. to say the "white man" has done this and that to "our people." Guess what, the black men saying that are a heck of a lot richer than I'll ever be. So if their talking about "their people," then it's not those in public housing.

It's been my belief that anyone, regardless of color, can achieve anything they set their minds on. We now have a black President, so that proves that point, right?

And now that our President is black, it's not that I hope "yellow will be mellow" and "white will embrace what's right"...it's that I hope those of other races will quit with the "white man is keeping me down" crap. Nobody keeps anyone down...individuals to that to themselves.

I already have - that's why I bought a Jeep. :thefinger:

Hey we aren't green any more, we are DIGITAL!!:D

[Grover]

white embrace what is right? I hate racism.

[PKDailey4]

More liars who swear, We've never used the N word or ever made any kind of derogatory remarks towards people who look different than we do.

[srbaker2]

Hey we aren't green any more, we are DIGITAL!!:D


Digital most of the time, still have to be green for a few hours every morning though.

Why do people make it a race issue if someone doesn't like Obama if that person is white? I personally don't like him and it's not because his is black, he could be hot pick for all I care. I don't like his policies, but I will give him the benefit of the doubt that he will help the country stabilize the economy.

[B1JPSTER]

My only problem with the whole thing is based on the media reporting about him being black. Did they all forget he is actually half white as well. So does that mean he will not be asked to get back and will embrace whats right at the same time. This is rediculous, what happened to americans are americans because almost all of us are multiracial of some sort.

[mcnaught6]

it's a bit ironic that black americans are embracing obama with such love now, and celebrating him as the first black president.....

i remember just a year and a half ago, when the "black leaders" were bad-mouthing him....saying that he was a snobby country club guy who was out-of-touch with the black community. a year and a half ago, they were quick to point out that he's only half black.

once the "black leaders" and the black community decided that obama might beat the clinton machine, obama suddenly became a black man, heir to martin luther king's throne.

[WTF_LOL]

Reverse racisim

is crazy how ignorant people "trying" to not be racist are


Besides, making race a topic at all only furthers it. Saying people are different colors and are all equal is still making it be even if it was for a positive reason that it was being said

My point is, I never even think about race. Yes people are from differnt races and there is characteristics that go with each that DO make them diffrent, I am not blind...

I just don't even think about it myself till somebody brings it up.


One day we won't have all these "eqaulity fighters". they will fade away and people will just start accepting that different races, just like different nationalities, are different, they are what they are and that is it. no big deal, who cares.

[TeraFlex]

No such thing. Racism is racism, no matter which direction it goes.

wow. just wow. ever thought about nominating yourself for Pope.....or at the very least, a Pulitzer Peace prize?

[WTF_LOL]

I don't quite get what you are saying?
Are you that shocked that somebody truly doesn't look at race??

NOt just me. There are millions of people that way. I move a ton, I find it is different in every city but generaly in larger cities and on the coasts I think this is a pretty regular way of thinking...maybe I missed what you were amazed about

[Dustoff '68]

I must be racist...I can't stand the new phony, and I didn't vote for him....if I ever get the chance to "embrace" this charlatan, I'll take it as an opportunity to choke his ass out.:shaking:

Racism is racism, regardless of the color of the person spouting it.:shaking:

[airric00]

I heard no racism in the speech! Everyone needs to just sit back and take all this in... Obama had no control over what someone says in a speech! I laughed my ass off at what he said. Come on... Get over yourself...

[gold knight]

And don't forget the dude is 87 years old. He lived through a time many of us were not even alive for.

[Grover]

No such thing. Racism is racism, no matter which direction it goes.

x2 actually racism is just hate. hate, ignorance, and fear. I think it is pitiful that we still even call each other black and white and whatever. People are people. We are all on the planet such a short time why waste it hating each other.

[StubEXrube]

"Quick to judge, quick to anger, slow to understand. Ignorance and prejudice and fear walk hand in hand."

Anyone know who wrote that one?

[Grover]

isn't that a RUSH song? lol. I dunno? who said it?

[StubEXrube]

isn't that a RUSH song? lol. I dunno? who said it?

For the win!:bounce: Been years since I've heard it but will always remember the lyric. Can't remember the song. Think it was from the album "Moving Pictures".

[terrahawk]

it's that I hope those of other races will quit with the "white man is keeping me down" crap.

Keep dreaming dude, that will NEVER end.

[terrahawk]

For the win!:bounce: Been years since I've heard it but will always remember the lyric. Can't remember the song. Think it was from the album "Moving Pictures".

Right album, the song is called Witch Hunt.

[Grover]

good album.

I don't have a problem with this or laughing at myself, I'm pretty funny most of the time LOL, but I am disgusted by the pompous hypocrites that act like it's suddenly a crime if somebody else can't or won't. Always differnet when the shoe is on the other foot so to speak.

[suthernjeeper]

......................

[PKDailey4]

as far as racism goes, we know obama himself is becasue of his pastor. we know his wife is racist there is no question about that. and every black person who voted for him because hes black is a racist.

WoW:cookiemonster:

[suthernjeeper]

i know man its crazy aint it

[Dustoff '68]

Not sooooo crazy....year and a half ago, this scrote bag was an unknown....now he's top dog...cursory review of his history and associated activities and supporters suggest something just not quite right...who cares...less then 4 years to go...maybe less

[Alec W]

less then 4 years to go...maybe less
Or, maybe 8 years ;)

[Ipe]

Not sooooo crazy....year and a half ago, this scrote bag was an unknown....Maybe to some, but not to the DNC powers that be. They had a plan for 2008.

Five years ago I sat with my wife watching the 2004 DNC Convention and BHO was introduced. He was a virtual unknown, it was amazing that he was getting such a primetime speaking spot. He spoke his ivy league polished rhetoric and the crowd loved him. In a pemonition that I wish I could take back I remember turning to my wife and saying something along the lines of "..... If the Republican party doesn't get it's sh1t together that man will be our next president...."

God how I wish I had been wrong :pissed:

[airric00]

as far as racism goes, we know obama himself is becasue of his pastor. we know his wife is racist there is no question about that. and every black person who voted for him because hes black is a racist.

Exactly why the pastor said what he said... Obama is half white my friend. So you are saying he hates his mom? Pretty ignorant, however I couldn't expect more from someone from your neck of the woods.. :thefinger:

[terrahawk]

I couldn't expect more from someone from your neck of the woods.. :thefinger:

I would reason a guess that Co has just as many rednecks as Indiana and twice the gronola eaters!:beer::thefinger::thefinger:

:laughing2::laughing2::laughing2:

Yea right.

Also. Theres one reason why stereotypes exist, they are all true.

[gold knight]

Exactly why the pastor said what he said... Obama is half white my friend. So you are saying he hates his mom? Pretty ignorant, however I couldn't expect more from someone from your neck of the woods.. :thefinger:And just what neck would that be?:mr-t:

I would reason a guess that Co has just as many rednecks as Indiana and twice the gronola eaters!:beer::thefinger::thefinger:Hey now why do yoa' gotta drag us rednecks into this:thefinger:;)

[BigO]

And just what neck would that be?:mr-t:

:lol: :lol: That was my first thought too.

[Dustoff '68]

Nothing worse then a redneck then a no neck hillbilly

[airric00]

Any neck still flying a confederate flag! :thefinger: I lived in Atlanta for 10 years and met many wonderful people, so I'm not pointing fingers at any specific region.. Just a point that sometimes every state has their own "neck of the woods" full of dumbfounded folks.. Don't get your panties in a bunch just :stirthepot:'n it up..

[Dustoff '68]

Or, maybe 8 years ;)

Maybe...that is of course if the whole country goes the way of total phagotry like CO has...;)

No pantie waddage here, just figured I'd ask.:beer:

[STUPIDFACE]

And don't forget the dude is 87 years old. He lived through a time many of us were not even alive for.


hes still alive now isnt he, and with a "black" president.... so in his eyes, shouldnt white people have already done whats right by electing a minority as the leader of the free world?

i dont know anyone whos grandpa knows anyone who owned slaves or was a slave. i never have and never will feel guilty for being white. everyone has the same oportunities in this country. obama himself wasnt born rich and he became president. who did he depend on? id bet himself (im no obama historian....maybe the govt. gave him everything).

for me race was not the deciding factor in not voting for obama. if my choices for president were condi rice vs al gore or john kerry, id vote for the sista...

i would bet though that at least 85% of black people who voted for obama did so solely on the color of his skin and not "the content of his character." whos racist?

corey d

[terrahawk]

Heritage, not hate:D


Funny thing when I lived in the ATL, a customer of mine always spouted off this phrase, then he would raise holy hell if he saw some dude with a mexican flag dangling from their rear view mirror. Isn't hypocisy great!:bounce:

[terrahawk]

That's funny, guess he missed his own point huh?


Absolutely, and he didn't really like it when I de-cloaked his duplicity.:grinpimp:

[NYJK]

The real question is, did the fawker speak english? or was the mexican here to suckle off the titties of the american gov.

[gold knight]

I think a little prayer is in order before we travel any further down this bumpy road.

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 the Mexican won't have to show his green card or instant ability to speak english before displaying his little Mexican flag in his own car — and when white will embrace what is right.

Let all those who do justice and love mercy say amen.

[Dustoff '68]

Amen..........and while I'm at it, where's the dog?

[terrahawk]

or was the mexican here to suckle off the titties of the american gov.

You mean as much as lazy white trash except for the fact that the Mexican actually works instead sitting on his fat ass eating pork rinds and applying to appear on the Jerry Springer show?:thefinger:

I couldn't have said it better:beer:

[NYJK]

hey i never said i support white trash, im just pissed off about the press 1 for english thing, and the fact that some spanish feller hit my other car and its been 3 weeks now with the insurance company because he dont habla ingles.

[terrahawk]

Since you have those chrome foot pegs, you are probably Mexican and just in denial.:thefinger:

Seriously though, I am from the Rio Grande valleyand it pisses me off when they say so called Mexicans are worthless leaches that sponge off society. I have lots of friends that were not born here, but work their asses off, treat people they encounter with the utmost respect, and are very thankful for the opportunities they have in the USA.

Some of the people born here ought to take some notes from these people and loose the entitlement mentality that has sucked the life out of this country. I'm afraid Obama will just make this worse IMHO.:pissed:

[paragon]

when someone refers to a "Mexican" they are referring to someone who is here illegally. And the whole point that they came here was to work.

Problem is, though they may work their asses off, they pay no taxes nor are responsible for most of the other requirements for being a citizen

[terrahawk]

they pay no taxes nor are responsible for most of the other requirements for being a citizen

Neither do 75% of the fawktards that were born here. All they do is *****, suck on lady liberties tit, and vote democrap.

[NYJK]

I shouldnt have to press 1 for english

[Dustoff '68]

I only hire Mexicans for grounds keeping..they take an unusual pride in the work they do, unlike the toothless white trashola from North Carolina who spend more time b!tchin' and on their cell phones with their gelatinous scurvy wives...A crew of 8 Mexicans here legally built my home in the Outer Banks (I got them a work visa) in half the time, half the cost, and three times the quality I could ever get from white breads.

No...it's the meth free lifestyle...while I'm at it, these guys were so gratefull for the opportunity to show their craft, and they all said they made in 3 months what it would take over two years to make in Mexico...I still get Christmas cards and gifts from these guys...if I ever build another house again, I'll dispense with the complicated bidding/boochit crap that "contractors" put me through, and with a phone call, and some paperwork, I'll get these guys back;)

friggin democrats got an excuse for everything

[PKDailey4]

friggin democrats got an excuse for everything

Friggin Republicans don't have an excuse for anything

[paragon]

Friggin Republicans don't have an excuse for anything
An excuse is the foundation whereupon a house of failure is built.

[mcnaught6]

the demotards didn't seat a black man in the house until 1935. the republicans seated the first black man 80 years earlier - frederick douglas.

booker t. washington, possibly the most influential black republican ever, was the first black man invited to the white house as a guest of the president - by theodore roosevelt, a republican.

the demotard party took much longer to embrace blacks into their party.

[terrahawk]

The demotards voting base is built on excuses and laziness.

"It's not my fault I can't work! The guy in the next county bought a dog and now I'm afraid to leave the house. Please send me a gov't check for my pain and suffering!"

[mcnaught6]

"we was slaves once! naw, 'mean? the white man be holding us back! wait, no, i wasn't no slave, but my grandfather's father was.....and i still feel the pain! you betta axe somebody, naw mean?"

"no i ain't be applyin' fo no job! i couldn't get one anyway, cuz the white man be frontin'!"

[PKDailey4]

Does the KKK sound familiar to you ? Or the words, Skin Head. You sound just like the classic example of a racist.:mr-t:

[terrahawk]

I assume you're referring to the land thief.

Mc Nut-job, Is this how the world should see people from Kentucky ? Because reading your posts, Im begining to think this is what you look like. You should smile more so we can see your tooth.

[NYJK]

excuse me? Im simply voicing an opinion, not once did i make a cutting remark to anyone in particular. If you cant handle it then dont read it, its that simple. Maybe your unfamiliar with what we stand for in the United States. Freedom of speech is one of the greatest things America has to offer and every time I blink, some brainless Democrat is trying to take that away because they cant handle hearing certain things. We stand for freedom, not this Socialist crap that B.O. is trying to choke us with. Wake up!
