Yes or no, why or why not.
Yes or no, why or why not.
I'm not sure I fully understand the question?
Well that one guy (Rev. Joseph Lowery) said "when white people will embrace what is right", and I thought it would be a good debate to see what people think of that statement. So I ask if you think white people have in fact embraced what is right or if they haven't.
Maybe whites can finally embrace right, by give away any accumulated affluence or wealth, and extinguishing their race by either not breeding or completely whoring their daughters out for mixed race babies.Yes or no, why or why not.
Is this the same preacher that Obama distanced himself from during the race?
No, that was Rev. Jeremiah Wright. The guy he said that he would no sooner abandon than his own grandma and then later abandoned. Sucks to be Obama's grandmother.
Yes or no, why or why not.
If whites didn't embrace what's right he wouldn't be giving that speech:doh

aside from slavery, what else are only white people guilty of?
To be fair- white people are not the only race on earth that have ever owned slaves. Many, many cultures in the past have had slaves.
Get with the program, cracker!

Jim Crow laws and discrimination against black voters. There are still people alive who fought for civil rights during that period. Wonder if I beat Hatuey to the punch on this one?
Not that I really care about any of that since I wasn't alive, but those things were pretty bad too.
I'm aware of the context of this quote but I still don't fully understand what he means, so I'm having a hard time w/ the poll. do you think it's just about not being racist? aside from slavery, what else are only white people guilty of?
Jim Crow. Wait that never happened though.

It's a line he's been giving for decades apparently. It's outdated and racist for the most part in today's world.
Except for the deluded notion that the chirality of "right" is a synonym for virtue; brilliant.Depends on one's perspective. I have always embraced what *I* think is "right".
I had overlooked those because I figured that all groups in america had been racist towards other groups at some point, not just whites, but you're right in that it was actually legislated discrimination.
