When black will not be asked to get back, |
|
When 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.
Rev. Joseph Lowery
What a great day. The sun shone a little brighter. The sky was a little bluer. The gleam in our eyes was twinkling a little bigger.
And to think it starts all over again tomorrow. :)

After hearing that, I was thinking that in order to be humorous one must have a clear overview. To see the irony. To see the hypocrisy. It requires intelligence.
Good stuff.

Btw, Five Finger Death Punch, for any metal fans is a necessity....The Bleeding, the lyrics just grab me.

3. Limbaugh almost immediately lampooned that part of the speech |
|
"Excuse me? Didn't we just swear in a black President, folks?"
Yes, of course, Rush. Now black and white are equal in all aspects of society, because we elected Obama. :eyes:
Great line by Lowery!

5. God, I LOVED that. Wiped the floor with that pompous, self-involved windbag |
|
rick warren. Just brought me to tears. Smiling tears. Even chuckles through the tears. I just loved it! GREAT way to close out the event.
