The original defense of Jeremiah Wright’s was that his sort of hatemongering was typical of black churches. This struck me as a strange sort of defense (“everybody’s doing it!”), but more importantly, it smelled to me like a slander of Black churches. Nevertheless, it didn’t seem like something I could usefully comment on. Now, Protein Wisdom takes on the matter. (Via Instapundit.)
For what it’s worth, the one time I visited a Black church (an AME church in the Boston area), the focus of the service was on Christ, and no racial hatred was preached.
