If you consider the historical perspective, then the status, position, and behavior of black preachers is easier to understand. Aside from some examples from Reconstruction after the Civil War, "Blacks" weren't in the political process at all and because of that, black preachers became the political leadership for blacks by default. * * *

Perhaps it's my own sense of "fairness"....What is good or bad for one, is good or bad for another...We are a people who have ancestors who fought in the American Revolution, and later in the Civil War so that we could live in freedom, and the same laws were to apply to everyone who lived, or came, to this country. When one group is singled out for special favoritism, or has special "laws or rules" I believe it is wrong for all concerned. Churches should all be able to have preaching politics from the pulpit, or they should not be able to do so IF the churches want to maintain their Tax Exempt Status with the 501c3. It should not matter the color or race or creed of the individuals who attend that church. One of the major reasons I object to Obamacare is there are SO Many people and organizations who have exemptions. The law should be written in such a way that there are ZERO exemptions needed.
