In my humble opinion of course.

I believe this was the Reverend Joseph Lowery, but Googling for the names is harder than it ought to be.

It was.

I loved the Elizabeth Alexander pome. I believe she upstaged the president. Clearly. IMHO. :D

My poor kids came home from school confused. They did not know if they were supposed to stick around or be mellow.

I am pretty sure that I already embrace what is right, but there are days where they disagree. :)

Is there anything in this world that is as it ought to be?

Damn- you complain about EVERYTHING.

That's part of the job descriptions for "parent" and "child".

GW and I did not think these song lyrics were appropriate and did not appreciate the sentiment. Why do only the whites need to do what's right?

It was telling that Rev. Lowery would speak such words on the day celebrating the fact that white Americans did what Lowery would say "was right" and voted for an African-American candidate, while African-Americans nearly unanimously refused to support a white candidate.

Meanwhile, I now have to worry that my kids might be called "yellow" by a classmate, as the entire school watched the inauguration ceremonies.

You are kidding, right? That was the most racist speech I've have ever heard.

I agree. That Jesse Jackson rhyming nonsense was totally unnecessary.
