A lot of black folks love their church, especially the ones from the South that I know.
This is true, but why does religion and political choice have to follow in lock step? I've said it before, some of the most religious, conservative black people I know wouldn't be caught dead voting Republican, even though, when asked, they actually support everything the party stands for. I just couldn't be that much of a hypocrite.
What benefit do they get out of letting some white guy come to their church during the campaign, some white guy who'll never go there again, just to make promises, get their vote, and to leave? How hard is it for people to see that they're being used?
