THE BLACK CHURCH IS NOT MONOLITHIC.

There is a particular type of black church in which this kind of fiery sermon is commonplace. This is what most people think of when they think of The Black Church. They are declining in membership, as a point of fact--because, you know, people that go to church generally do so because they want to learn how to better their lives, not constantly hear about how Whitey Did Us Wrong. Yes, we know that, now what do we do about it? I grew up in a church like that, and that's why my family stopped going and starting going to a black megachurch (I ended up leaving that one, and Christianity altogether, for some different reasons but that's a whole other post).

This shit really makes me want to bash my head into a wall. When the people who are defending the black church don't even know wtf they're talking about either, it's maddening.
