Reply #96: There is a big difference between Rev, Wright, Fr. Pflager and the Hagees, Parsleys, Haggards

and Falwells of the world.
Where Hagee preaches that the poor should starve Wright and Pfleger feed the hunger, helped people keep their homes, they even helped people get out from under those Adjustable rate loans that is behind the mortgage crises. They have worked to get guns off of the streets of Chicago and put an end to the gang violence that has plagued areas like the South Side of Chicago.
Has these men said some things that are "controversial"? Yes they has but it is not fair to drag these men through the mud for something that was said at the heat of the moment.
One last thing politics are preached from the pulpits of just about every black church in Chicago. I can't speak for the rest of the country but I can speak from what I have experienced. Bake I would like to invite you to Trinity, St. Sabina and Salem Baptist Church and you will see what I'm talking about. Their message is not about hate it is about uplifting the community. They see the anger and the bitterness of their congregations and they address it instead of pushing it to the backside and letting it fester and soon we will have another generation of angry bitter African Americans.
