I Do Embrace What Is Right - And You're Wrong.

"a land where men will not argue that the color of a man's skin determines the content of his character"... Yeah, whatever:

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 in back, when brown can stick around ... when yellow will be mellow ... when the red man can get ahead, man; and when white will embrace what is right. That all those who do justice and love mercy say Amen.
From the 2009 Inaugural benediction, not the one in 1960. This type of shallow racial stereotyping is beyond insulting.
