I shocked at the White remark in Lowery's prayer

I agree with this post.


Rev. Lowery's assertion was deliberate. I wouldn't call him a racist, but his prayer reflects an amount of bitterness that I'm sure will NEVER go away, no matter how much progress is made.

His American experience, like my Dad's experience has been quite bitter. That can't be changed. Does this excuse his "poisoning of the wells", no.

It is wrong to ignore the FACT that whites (even Jews) helped to fight to bring justice for all in this Country

However, I do understand where he's coming from.

The difference between my Dad and Rev Lowery is my Dad wouldn't have made such a sweeping, negative generalization at a time of obvious unity and racial peace.

May God grant His Servant, Rev Lowery, peace and grace in His heart.

Would to God we could all take Dr. MLK Jr.'s statement "I have a dream that one day my children will be judged, not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character" to heart.

We need a revival of correct character content in our nation, in all races. We won't get it from Hollywood, Wall Street, or Washington. It's going to have to come from the Church house and Family home.

Thank you. You understood my point exactly
