While I understand you concerns, I think almost any black candidate involved with a black church would probably have some connection to black pride movements that sound racist, because they ARE aimed at helping the black community. If whites had the same dismal college statistics at the UC's in California, and the other problems the black community faces, we'd probably see white pride movements. There is nothing inherently unhealthy about the church's mission, I think. Of course I have no problem with groups that want to help whites- I think it's a little unnecessary to aim for the white community, seeing how well the community does, but if people want to do that, and find that a way to give back, I think we allow people to help "their own" communities. I seem to recall that Hillary has done some things with regard to affirmative action for women, and the advancement of women (and been associated with movements that do the same), that are similar to what Obama's church is doing for the black community. Should we consider Hillary dangerously sexist? I don't think so.
