"You try finding a black church that isn't overwhelmingly Democrat."
I attend a Southern Baptist church that is ninety-nine percent white and overwhelmingly Republican but we have a few black members who are welcomed and seem to feel comfortable with us. Why do you have to find a black church?
"Why do you have to find a black church?"
Because
(a) There are differences in how certain cultures TEND to approach religion, and the way I was raised makes me more comfortable there. Big deal.
(b) I live on the South Side of Chicago and would have to drive forever to reach a non-black church.
(c) No matter how far I drove in this city, I probably wouldn't find a majority Republican church.
(c) Politics isn't everything. It's no one's place but mine to determine what factors are most important in a church for me.
First, while that may have been the case, I think things are changing.
I think that assuming THAT THOUGHT is what helps keep it that way.
Most black people that go to church, are much more enthusiastic about their faith, than say, white people. It was the voters with moral values and religious faith that supported and voted for President Bush.
Ergo it likely Black churches are turning predominately to the political right. What I have found is that a black person does not like a white person who is two-faced. I feel sure that many blacks have looked into the President's eyes, and heart, and seen his actions, and know where his spirit lays.
