I'm black, so let me say I think it's great Kerry and Edwards go to black churches every Sunday. Not only does it inspire the base, but hopefully they're getting some powerful prayer at these churches that will carry them to Victory!
That being said, it's time for K/E to go to "white" churches. I don't believe that all White Christians are conservative. You can't tell me that many of the progressive White pastors and preachers who marched in the Civil Rights movement, fought for sanctions against South Africa, and care about hunger and poverty are all gone.
Ceding White Christians to the Republicans plays into their game, and frankly hurts us, and moreover misrepresents what's actually going on. Unfortunately it's easy for many Whites to dismiss "black religion" so K/E need to do both.
Thoughts?
