17. I'm sorry, but a $1.6m home in Chicago may be nice digs, but it's hardly extreme
By all accounts Rev Wright built up that church to it's current high level of success. I guarantee you that the James Dobsons and Gary Bauers of the world that Hitchens is comparing Wright to aren't living in homes worth as little as $1.6 million.

I'm pretty sure the Hitch has finer digs than that himself. And what's his complaint about Wright living in an all white community? Is Hitch's objections that it's now an integrated neighborhood? Is it literally all white, or does Hitch just assume that it is because, you know, successful people live there?
