With the substitutions a candidate would be forced to completely disavow himself from the racist beliefs of his mentor. If done successfully, he’d still suffer. People like me might not believe him. That’s how is should be, but is should be the same whether white or black. There’s been little coverage of this, though Laura Ingram has mentioned it, and Hannity interviewed the Reverend last year, the print media, silent.
I think this is very revealing about what this church and its pastor values.
