Why were 8,000 "successful" black folks on their feet and applauding this sermon? It's not because this church is filled with 8,000 hateful "Christians".
The Bob Jones incident is just one reason why 8,000 people found elements that mirror their experience in Wright's inflammatory sermon.
Wright and faggot-khan may be connected, but their "distrust" of the American govt have different roots. This is why I don't consider Wright to be racist.

Do you think Wright is 'hateful'?
I do agree that it is possible to take the same stance for different reasons. I am NOT defending BJU but what was the reason for their stance on interracial relationships? (This is a sincere question)
