rockmom Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Seriously, there are people of all races who LOOK for something to be upset about, and assume racial bias as soon as a color is mentioned. It's indicative of what I call the "symptom" theory. People are so concerned with the symptoms, they're afraid to find out what the disease is, and focus on the squelcing the symptom, but never acknowledge the disease.

sportsfan41 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 White do whats right? I'm white and I think I'm doing just fine. I wouldn't be surprised if you hear the media telling you that you're not right sometime here in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameraman Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 So, you don't see the "big picture" here? Let me ask this. Had Bush or someone representing Bush said something of the said nature "Black should do whats right", do you think no one would say anything and everyone would go on with their business?

Had Bush or someone representing Bush said something of the said nature "Black should do whats right", do you think no one would say anything and everyone would go on with their business? Let me as YOU this...if the minister had said "black man" would you have a problem with this? All races are mentioned. It's a prayer for ALL people. To single out one phrase is to ignore the whole message. Like so many things, people take something out of context, the context loses it's meaning, and someone gets upset.

I wouldn't have a problem if a white man would've said "White do right" neither because we are of the same race. IMO, it was a cheap shot that he could've left out.

KyTiger89 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Could Warren have been proving the racial divide that still exists in our country by everyone getting so worked up about this? Just a question... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a question... Warren wasn't the closing minister. I can't remember that minister's name, and I'm not able to watch at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
