An Atlanta civil rights icon will play a very visible role in the historic and star-studded inauguration of Barack Obama, the nation’s first black president.
A congressional committee announced late Wednesday that the Rev. Joseph E. Lowery, a stalwart of the civil rights movement and co-founder of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, will deliver the benediction.

A well deserved tribute
In before the part where Bill inserts a snide comment about the “Preacher of Hate” and then Icarus cyber slaps him and tells him to quit getting his blackfolk preachermen mixed up.
Bill, please note Rick’s foreshadowing, and choose your blackfolk preacherman carefully.
Jan.20 — another black family moves into government housing.
Can we please get the Klan recognized as a political party so “certain people” can quit identifying themselves as Republican?
Can we get a shirt on a certain avitar with a sword looking as pycho as an abortion doctor?
I am sure Joseph ( pimp his own people) Lowery would be proud.
I know some of your “Never had a real black friend or family member” white boys think I come across as racist …. Even though I have told you numerous times my (physician) son-in-law is black and my grand kids are bi-racial.
Look … Colin Powell said ” Gov. Palin was polarizing because she spoke of ‘SMALL TOWN VALUES’”….. Powell went on to say …” Most OF US don’t come from small towns.” …. He was talking of BLACK PEOPLE being “US” !
We could look at Powell and say… ” And MOST OF US don’t come from the GHETTO HOOD smoking CRACK and wearing pants that reveal our CRACKS either!”….
You all hide and watch… The BLACK THING will be shoved down our throats in the next few years. It will be mainstream to speak Ebonics and mainstream to wear a wife beater shirt to dinner exposing all your nappy arm pit hairs – not to mention the acne on your back.
There is a “BLACK CULTURE” that is NEGATIVE – and YOU KNOW IT!… to look the other way and say …. Oh I’m cool with that… is blatant denial. … Already Obama is making a BAD impression on our youth by SMOKING. You watch cigarette sales go up and lung cancer tripple in the next 10 years…
I speak as a concerned MOTHER and GRANDMOTHER… You boys are either not married or have no kids… or you are CLUELESS…. Just ask someone who grew up in the 60′s. They will tell you.
Oh and all this crap about Obama being like LINCOLN!…. Gag me with a top hat…. How utterly ridiculous…. His handlers are over the top!!!
Anyway… I am not racist … I am against the BLACK NEGATIVE CULTURE that spreads like a virus WHILE DESCENT BLACK PEOPLE cringe when Suck-Up White People act like “the HOOD” is fine….
Well if you are so “down with that” …. then move your ass out of Duluth and down to EAST POINT!
Would someone please take her up on the offer to gag her with a top hat. Or anything else that you might find handy.
Real nice thoughts toward your fellow man on the first day of Hanukkah, peach. I can’t wait to see what you have to share with us on Christmas.
I wonder how much of Colin Powell Peach will listen to or speak fondly of.
I am thinking chiefly of the part about voting for Obama.
Icarus — For the RECORD – You are mixing SACRED with SECULAR – not I. Since YOU brought up Hannukah, I think you need some teaching on the topic –
Hanukkah begins at sundown and the sun us still up. Perhaps the TRUTH which I share could be a metaphoric Shamash from which I shall light more ” TRUTH CANDLES” over the next 8 days – Christmas included! …. Thank you very much!
It is THE WOMAN who lights the CANDLES at Hanukkah and I QUALIFY for this job unless of course you have lace in your underwear.
Rugby — We all know “The COLIN” is where crap eventually ends up. I had never felt more betrayed than when that bag of wind endorsed the BABY MONKEY we are forced to call ” Commander and Chief ” for the next 4 years. B.O. has never shot a gun and we trust him with our military…. Where’s my belcher?
For the love of all that is holy, does no one have a top hat?
Just remove her white hood and use it Icarus
Can somebody get a belt on Rome and Icu?
– I think they are “cracking” us up with their ghetto britches comments about white hoods.
This is a real nice conversation.
