"...white will do what is right..." In context and alone, it looks bad. It doesn't matter who said it, black or white. This was supposed to be an historical ceremony, one that was supposed to show another step in race relations and instead it was marred by BS. What you do in your own bedroom is your own business but what you do in public is everyone's. What you do as a public servant even more so and what you do as a public servant under the direct eyes of America and the world even more than that. If someone on the stage was hung over or even just disheveled you would look at it as a shame. I see this as a shame as well. It was uncalled for.
