NEW YORK CITY IS NO LONGER A DIVIDED PLANTATION: "TALE OF TWO CITIES"

Today during BILL DE BLASIO'S Inauguration Ceremony, Rev FRED LUCAS JR (BROOKLYN) made these Shocking yet Truthful remarks about NEW YORK CITY while delivering the Ceremonial Prayer:

"“Let the plantation called New York City be the city of God, a city set upon the hill, a light shining in darkness,”

“Elevate our valleys. Make low our mountains. Make our crooked places straight and our rough places smooth. Oh God, oh God, oh God, break every chain, break every chain, break every chain.”

“Oh God, on this first day of January–the anniversary of the first Emancipation Proclamation–sound forth the trumpets of heaven proclaiming a new Emancipation Proclamation in New York City.

"From your divine leadership, emancipate every New Yorker from the shackles of fear, futility and frustration …...

Oh God, end the civil wars and usher in a new Reconstruction Era that builds upon the many successes and achievements of yesterday while proclaiming the beginning of a new beginning.”

"Pastor Unloads On The ‘Plantation Called New York City’ At New Mayor’s Inauguration"

During inauguration ceremonies for New York City’s new mayor, Bill DeBlasio, Reverend Fred Lucas Jr. tore into the nation’s racial inequality.

Sounding a variety of themes echoing American slavery and the Civil War, the Brooklyn-based minister scoffed at the “plantation called New York City” and called for a new “Reconstruction” based on the post-Civil War federal occupation of the South.

“Sound forth the trumpets of heaven proclaiming a new Emancipation Proclamation in New York City,” Lucas began. “For your divine leadership, emancipate every New Yorker from the shackles of fear, futility, and frustration.”

“Help us to be mastered by only the masters of love and compassion,” he continued. “Let integrity never stand on the auction block or be sold to the highest bidder.”

“Free us from the shackles of partisan politics, political correctness, and personal egos and agendas,” Lucas railed. “End the civil wars and usher in a new Reconstruction Era that builds upon the many successes and achievements of yesterday.”

The pastor concluded by blasting the “plantation called New York City.”

Bill Clinton Will Preside At Bill De Blasio’s Inauguration


Former President Bill Clinton will swear in Bill de Blasio as New York City’s 109th mayor at the inauguration ceremony on Jan. 1, the mayor-elect’s transition team announced in a statement on Saturday.

Mr. de Blasio served in Mr. Clinton’s administration as a regional director of the Department of Housing and Urban Development and was the campaign manager for Hillary Rodham Clinton’s successful run for the Senate in 2000. Mrs. Clinton will also attend the inauguration.

“I was honored to serve in President Clinton’s administration and on Secretary Clinton’s campaign for U. S. Senate, and I am honored again that they will both join our celebration for all of New York City,” Mr. de Blasio said in the statement. “Wednesday’s ceremony will be an event for every New Yorker from all five boroughs, and Chirlane and I couldn’t be more excited to have President Clinton and Secretary Clinton stand with us,” he said, referring to his wife, Chirlane McCray.

Mr. de Blasio later sent out on Twitter a photograph taken in 2000 showing Mr. and Mrs. Clinton at the White House with him, his wife and their two children, Chiara and Dante, who were then small enough to be carried in their parents’ arms.

The ceremony, which will begin at noon, will be held on the steps of City Hall in Lower Manhattan. Last week, Mr. de Blasio set aside 1,000 free tickets to the inauguration for the general public. The tickets were snatched up in less than two hours. Some appeared to be for sale on Craigslist.

He will be sworn in using a Bible once owned by President Franklin D. Roosevelt that will be on loan from his presidential library in Hyde Park, N.Y., the transition team said.

Mr. de Blasio’s transition team said that Lissette Ortiz, a Bronx resident, would introduce Mr. Clinton. Ms. Ortiz was born in the Dominican Republic and moved to the United States when she was 15. She is a senior at Medgar Evers College, part of the City University of New York, which Mr. de Blasio has vowed to provide with renewed investment.

To have a figure of Mr. Clinton’s stature swear in a New York City mayor is unusual. Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and his predecessor, Rudolph W. Giuliani, were sworn in by judges, as was Edward I. Koch, who was mayor from 1978 to 1989. In 1990, Mayor David N. Dinkins, was sworn in by his former law partner.

Mr. Bloomberg largely shunned political star power at his inaugurations in favor of the Hollywood variety. His first two inaugurations included, among others, Liza Minnelli, Wynton Marsalis, Bette Midler and Barbara Walters.

At his third inauguration in 2010, Mr. Bloomberg was joined on stage by Mr. de Blasio, newly elected as New York’s public advocate.
