Ever since the Jerimiah Wrights 30 second video loop has been played on all the major radio and televison networks, there has also been an underlying narrative about "What goes on in Black Churches". I have heard this theme repeated daily for the last two weeks on a continuos basis. Each time this mantra is repeated it is sowing seeds of Racial fear in White people of Black churches and Black people in general. Today I heard Lou Dobbs say "Whats are they thinking about in the Black Churches". The word "Black Church" is becoming a racial code word for "Anti-White People".
As history has shown, people all over the world have died over religious beliefs. The Shiites and the Sunnis' the Protestants and Catholics have all taken Life in the name of religion. Our Constitution has always provided for a separation of church and state and the Bill of Rights has always protected the freedom of (or from) religion. Now with that said here is danger. The recent un-ending attacks on the Black Church as some type of harborer of ill feelings and promotion of the "Damnation of White People" is not unlike the fuel that has fired other religious wars. At the least it could begin a new wave of bombings of Black churches that was an epidemic in the the 60's and again in the 90's.
I would caution the networks to not only stop the "Religious Inquisiton" of the Black church but to make attempts to repair the damage they have already done. I urge them to becareful of the "Burning into the concience" of White America that the Black Church is now an "Enemy of the State". When the this election is over and the dust is settled there will be "Residual Results". I would caution those who make this issue of the black church as a "Race Issue" may in fact be made part of history....
