Just how would the black activists react if the "White Churches" were allowed to do legally, that which the "Black Churches" do illegally?

Prediction: The screams of racism and church burnings would echo through the land!

Personally, I think it is anti-Constitutional to make it illicit to be active in politics, no matter where that activity takes place. The duplicitous 'ban' should be repudiated and let the politi begin on an equal basis. It reminds me of a little league contest where one team is commanded to take the field without gloves and a line is drawn just past the base lines that makes the outfield off limits to the gloveless team only. Which team is likely to succeed in the contest?
