January 20, 200917 yr 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.
January 20, 200917 yr 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.

Disease is stupidity and you can't stamp out stupidity.
January 20, 200917 yr I wouldn't be surprised if you hear the media telling you that you're not right sometime here in the near future. So sad, but true.
January 20, 200917 yr Disease is stupidity and you can't stamp out stupidity. So, you don't see the "big picture" here?
January 20, 200917 yr 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?
January 20, 200917 yr Author 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? All heck would break lose. Period !!
January 20, 200917 yr 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? 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.
January 20, 200917 yr 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? Agreed....not really a big deal but I thought it was a little shot there at the end...
January 20, 200917 yr 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? There would be a riot. Literally.

No, I wouldn't have a problem with it. 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.

January 20, 200917 yr I'm completely confounded. Basically what i'm saying, is that it was a cheap shot on behalf of the speaker.
January 20, 200917 yr 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...
January 20, 200917 yr 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... Warren wasn't the closing minister. I can't remember that minister's name, and I'm not able to watch at work.
