So what is the deal with Reverend Joseph Lowery?

I'm sure everyone noticed how he ended the swearing in ceremony...

"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."

Embracing what is right? Which era is this guy living in anyways?

Finally, what is with the yellow - mellow reference? geez

that is all /rant
