“We ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to give 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,”
– Rev. Lowery speaking at Inauguration Day.
The Reverend Dr. Seuss, ladies and gentlemen. Why do those who claim to want a color blind society do nothing but obsess over color?
This latest embarrassment of a preacher was too busy writing childish rhymes and not enough time studying American history.
White already embraced what was right, Reverend Lowery. He began a century and a half ago in Michigan with the beginnings of the Republican Party. He did so on the battlefields of the Civil War where brother fought brother and 600,000 men were slaughtered partly over the issue of slavery. He did so when he fought to keep the union together partly in hopes that slavery would die.
White Republicans embraced what is right via the passage of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments and when they fought segregation; they embraced right when they worked toward integration of schools; they embraced right when they nominated not one but two black Secretaries of State; they embraced right when they nominated one black man as Supreme Court Justice and nearly a second (Janice Rogers Brown); they embraced right when they signed into law a holiday honoring an assassinated civil rights leader.
But because these achievements came from Republican white males, they are given no weight to Reverend Dr. Seuss, who is too busy writing rhymes worthy of toddler’s books rather than reading the history that might delude him of his foolish prejudices. Shame on him and whoever invited him to appear at the inauguration.
As for Barack Obama, I wish him and his family happiness and health.
I do, however, wish upon his socialist agenda nothing but failure. The moment Barack Obama’s political aspirations succeed, America becomes something it was never intended to be.
