Ought I to be offended?

In his benediction to close the inaugural festivities, the Rev. Joseph Lowery asked the following of the almighty:
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
Really? When "white will embrace what is right"? So much for a post-racial Presidency.
