Regarding Joseph E Lowery's speech during the inauguration?

Sure it's a slap, "gloved" inside a prayer no less. But those of us (from Atlanta) that have watched him for decades know that he is a bigot. He's the one that almost instigated a riot accusing whites of a conspiracy to kill young black males when it was really Wayne Williams. He almost had all of Atlanta rioting and on fire. Of course he really did experience bigotry, prejudice and persecution back in the 1950's and 60's which probably made him paranoid. But his kind of rhetoric keeps anger smoldering in a new generation that hasn't received any more bigotry than they have issued. It is a strategic technique to leverage an advantage. Anyone born after 1970 has a difficult time justifying the animosity that resulted from the real bigotry of the 50's and 60's . Lowery is just so entrenched in his past that he can't recognize that he is a bigot against whites and helps to perpetuate division. I see more anti-white bigotry today than the anti-black bigotry of the past.
