Response to Real Clear Politics blog
In a recent blog Tom Bevan posed the following questions in response to Rev. Lowery's benediction.
My response to Mr. Bevan is simple: really? I doubt that he was making any negative connotation to "yellow" needing to mellow. I think he was just making sure to mention everyone, first off. Secondly, I think he was saying, when will it be mellow (or ok) to be yellow? I just felt like this post was unnecessary and it is this kind of blogging that clogs up any "real" or "necessary" discussion topics. Stop wasting time holding every human being accountable for every syllable that comes out of their mouths, we're all human, let's just focus on the message and less on the semantic bull.
What exactly did Reverend Lowery mean when he prayed for the day when "yellow
will be mellow?"
'REV LOWERY: Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from
their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work
for that day when black will not be asked to get back, when brown can stick
around -- (laughter) -- when yellow will be mellow -- (laughter) -- when the red
man can get ahead, man -- (laughter) -- and when white will embrace what is
right. Let all those who do justice and love mercy say amen.'
Just asking.
The line certainly didn't need to be in there for the crowd to understand he was
rhyming. So why was it - and what the heck did it have to do with the point he
was trying to make?
