Most likely only Southern Baptist churches were targeted due to their "whiteness". I am guessing this is a racially-motivated crime.
For those of you who don't know, the Southern Baptist Convention was formed due conflicts over slavery with the Baptists from the North. I am a Southern Baptist and while I am NOT proud of that distinction, I do appreciate my denomination's firm stance on issues that are core to my Faith. It is not a perfect grou by any means but neither is any other denominational body. Plus, it has managed to fight off the liberal (and heretical) version of Christianity that infected most major American Christian groups.
Morning OA94,
I hope you are not suffering from the white guilt syndrome. This sympathy tactic was promulgated by the left wing commies, for opportunistic motives.

And the Northern Baptist Convention became the forerunners for modern day liberalism and apostasy in denying the fundamental principles of the Word of God... denying the virgin birth of Christ, Creationism, the bodily resurrection of Christ, the inerrancy of the scriptures and so on.
