Closing Prayer...divisive?

"Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get back, when brown can stick around — (laughter) — when yellow will be mellow — (laughter) — when the red man can get ahead, man — (laughter) — and when white will embrace what is right."

Closing prayer by Rev. Joseph Lowery at President Obama's Inauguration. 

Does any else find this divisive? I came across many minorities that found it increasingly offensive.
