"if it's yellow, let it mellow. if it's brown, flush it down." yes, I understand the racial connotations but people laughed at it (and that was the intent) because it's a bathroom joke. That's not what he said...his little rhymning bit at the end was from a 60's civil rights song. You are very confused and off base on this. It wasn't a bathroom joke. You need to drop that line of thinking. It was a racist jab at white people and Asians. I strongly suggest you read about this topic more before you say anything else on the subject. Whew, I finally found it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZLw5ahxm-Q I thought it was tacky that a reverend would say something like that. I've researched it now. I understand. It was an important song for black people during the emotional times of the 60's. When the reverend said his prayer, he was taking us through his journey from former NAACP head, to 60's Civil Rights leader to now --- Obama's benediction leader.  Obama wouldn't have been elected, without all those "wrong" whites who threw away...I mean voted for him. Now all that he asks is that all white people drop their pants and grab their ankles. NO. The Reverend said a prayer that included some of the Reverend's journey. I can't believe that you just said what you said. |

I can't believe that you just said what you said. Look at Obama's policies. Wait...six months...a year at most and you won't be able to agree with me enough. |

Big Bill Broonzy Black, Brown And White lyrics
This little song that i’m singin’ about, People you know it’s true If you’re black and gotta work for a living, This is what they will say to you, They says, “if you was white, should be all right, If you was brown, stick around, But as you’s black, hmm brother, get back, get back, get back” I was in a place one night They was all having fun They was all buyin’ beer and wine, But they would not sell me none They said, “if you was white, should be all right, If you was brown, stick around, But if you black, hmm brother, get back, get back, get back” Me and a man was workin’ side by side This is what it meant They was paying him a dollar an hour, And they was paying me fifty cent They said, “if you was white, ‘t should be all right, If you was brown, could stick around, But as you black, hmm boy, get back, get back, get back” I went to an employment office, Got a number ‘n’ i got in line They called everybody’s number, But they never did call mine They said, “if you was white, should be all right, If you was brown, could stick around, But as you black, hmm brother, get back, get back, get back” I hope when sweet victory, With my plough and hoe Now i want you to tell me brother, What you gonna do about the old jim crow? Now if you was white, should be all right, If you was brown, could stick around, But if you black, whoa brother, get back, get back, get back |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZLw5ahxm-Q It's actually sad. He can't buy anything or get a job because he's black and white is right and he's not right. |

Listen to the song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZLw5ahxm-Q It's actually sad. He can't buy anything or get a job because he's black and white is right and he's not it. Have listened to the song several times. There is no doubt that it is about the injustice in jobs and life. |

1) Racist Pastor and Poet at the inauguration. 2) America's first racist comments at an inauguration. 3) Mulims were represented by a member of a group that is an unindicted co-conspirator in a terrorist plot in Canada. A group with ties to Hamas and Islamic Jihad. 4) Obama has told reporters "Now is not the time to ask questions" 5) Obama told Republicans who disagree with his stimulus plan (part of which is 150 MILLION for condoms) "I won". 6) Obama told Republicans that they would have to stop listening to Rush Limbaugh if they want to get along with him and the other Democrats on the hill. 7) Obama closed Git-mo. 8) Obama closed black sites. 9) Obama legalized giving funding to foreign organizations that do abortions (For those who don't know, the ONLY foreign aid that Clinton gave to Rowanda during the massacres that happened there was free abortions) It's the first week of his presidency. I believe it will be historic in it's ineptitude and the damage it does to our government and world. Sour grapes still???? Obama will do well, he already is doing well. |

How is he doing well? He has made some positive steps, and he has made some setbacks. Not much has been done as he has not been in office very long. We must remain SKEPTICAL and observe actions he has taken. Promoting community service - positive freezing the pay in washington - positive providing government jobs to make up for lack of private jobs - negative (simply because you won't help an economy unless the jobs are productive) I don't blame him for the bailout or not handling our economy as there is nothing he has the power to do. And the people who put him in office would be P.O.ed if he actually did the right thing. Promoting stem cell research - positive That is pretty much all we have to go on so far that i know of. |

That's a lot to learn in a few days.

I guess if MORE funded abortions, and extending the rights of terrorists is a job well done...then O'bama is doing great... |

Gio, "These groups help the poor and may be involved in abortion but also work on other aspects of reproductive health care and HIV/AIDS, leading to the closure of free and low-cost rural clinics. It will help save lives and empower the poorest women and families to improve their quality of life and their future." There's a lot of good in that. |
