		<description>The irony of all this is that America is a land and the U.S. is a country that was founded by people fleeing oppression and has always welcomed people of all races and creeds.  No other country comes close.

For someone like this race-baiting preacher to denigrate people of other races who have no interest in joining his cult of victemhood is to deny the fundamental basis of the country&#039;s existance.</description>

		<description>To my friend &quot;gipper,&quot;

It doesn&#039;t matter who has oppressed Asians.  Be they white, black or yellow (the usual case), Asians usually look the other way and take it.  And they certainly don&#039;t wail and carry on for decades, if not centuries, their past fate.

In other words, Asians are generally mellow.

After reading your post, I re-read the Reverend&#039;s speech.  I still find it insulting and him a racist . . . from the content to its context to the very reference of &quot;yellow.&quot;

I don&#039;t know if this is important, but it seems to be relevant here:

My family fled China because of the Japanese invasion.  Some were captured.  The men were killed, the women raped then killed and the children raped, enslaved and/or killed.  I know of no one captured by the Japanese who survived.

Those who survived had escaped to Taiwan, Canada and America.  Of those who came to America, several went on to serve in the U.S. military to fight the Japanese and the Germans.  A few were killed in combat and one was captured by the Germans.  (He was freed one year later when the war was won.)

Although I don&#039;t have any photographs, I&#039;m sure those who served wore fatigues.  But they wore it for America.  And to fight tyranny.  Not to intimidate, demand or complain.

I know of only one who saw the war still surviving.  He has no hate in his heart . . . for either the Japanese or the Germans.  And he certainly doesn&#039;t refer to people as black, white, brown, red or yellow.

We are not crayons.</description>

		<description>Dear Gipper:

My personal thanks to your wife and you.

Newsflash!  Lowery&#039;s speech influenced my hometown.  There wasn&#039;t a lynching last night, not even one cross burning!</description>

		<description>I think our dear reverend meant to imply that Asians would not be oppressed by &quot;The Man&quot; anymore.

My wife is Asian and was part of a wealthy family in Vietnam. Her family&#039;s wealth was taken from them and given to the state during the war. (The Communists had to spread the wealth, after all.) She escaped Vietnam in a fishing boat after the fall of Saigon. She was only five years old then. Her family lived in a refugee camp in Thailand before the Lutheran Church sponsored her to come over to America. She has said several times that she is lucky to be living in the USA. If she and her family had stayed in Vietnam, they would have been re-educated and she most likely would be working in some factory sewing shirts. Nevermind &quot;The Man&quot; in the USA--she would have been much more oppressed in Vietnam.

As it stands now, she DOES put on fatigues, but not as part of a militant race group like the Black Panthers. She serves in the U.S. Army and right now she is deployed to Iraq to secure the freedom of the Iraqis, stabilize peace in the Middle East, and to diminish the threat of terrorist organizations.</description>

		<description>&quot;I’m equally certain that we will continue to pray . . . for that day when . . . yellow will be mellow . . . .&quot;

How insulting.  I&#039;ve never known a &quot;yellow&quot; to march, demonstrate, protest or even hold a bullhorn.  I&#039;ve also never known a &quot;yellow&quot; to put on fatigues, combat boots or a beret.  

Racist.

Ever noticed how racist black reverends can be?</description>

		<description>Can any of you picture Bush having someone of his ilk on the platform on such a special day?  Good grief, if this is any indication of his judgement.....But then we know that already don&#039;t we.

First Wright now this guy. Hate to think who might be next. Considering all his commie friends.....God help us.</description>

		<description>This Black Liberation Theology is not going to go away.  The only thing on their mind is complete and total redistribution of all the nation&#039;s wealth.  The mortgage debacle is only the beginning.   

I like for people to be honest.  His comments were hurtful and wrong in my opinion, but at least we know where he stands.  I wish Barack Hussein Obama would be as forthcoming.  Maybe he wouldn&#039;t be in control of all our lives right now, if he had.</description>

		<description>More political hate-speech thinly disguised as &quot;religion&quot; by another black bigot &quot;Rev.&quot;.

These clowns are doing all they can to gin-up a race war. They&#039;re plain racist. I reckon they think they can get away with anything now that Dumbass is King... and they probably will.</description>
