Clearly there are some wonderful black Christian churches, and there are some racist black churches, whose primary purpose is politics and fundraising.
What I don’t know is what the numbers are. I had always assumed that these racist, unChristian churches were the minority. Now, I’m wondering.
Heavens knows there are a lot of sick white churches out there, so I guess it shouldn’t be a surprise about the black churches. But at least there aren’t many openly racist white churches around any more. Black churches, I don’t know.
Yeah, what worries me are these claims I’ve heard recently that we shouldn’t make such a big deal about Wright because he is typical of black preachers. If that’s true, we have a big problem. We can only hope that the firestorm over Wright has knocked some sense into a few of them and their followers.
