   All was going well until that stupid old fool ran his mouth and opened a new cut. It appears that racisim is alive and well in the black community.
   Whites have it right and blacks are deciding to stay in the back. What a wasted opportunity to bring people together. Lets be happy that old black & white fools like that will not live much longer. I felt like I was listing to a J. Jackson jingle. As a white person it made me not want to ever vote black again!!!!!

   I don’t know who you are but I googled to see who else was offended by Rev Lowery’s blatantly offensive comment about whites. I can’t believe –wait, yes, I can-the idiots who are allegedly journalists letting this one slip by. If the shoe were on the other foot and a White Rev Lowery made the same comment about blacks, well then a White Rev Lowery would be looking to hide today and for a new job. Where is the press? Is this how the Obama administration is going to start out?

   A few years ago I took a class from a black professor from Chicago. That
   “jingle” came up in class and he said that he grew up knowing it as a
   skipping jumprope jingle. That does not help with the origin, but it might
   be an answer to how the crowd reacted to it on inauguration.

   Rev. Lowery is the exact cause for continued hatred, segregation, and oppression. Rev. Lowery should be sued by every other “race” of American out there. I too will never vote for a “black” person again as they deem the benediction acceptable.
