Blacks and Religion
On Faith, It's the Kerry Reserve: Candidate Usually Speaks of Religion Only Before Black Audiences
Why is it that a certain end of the political spectrum only tolerates public religious discourse among black folks? It is due to a patronizing attitude, as if to say, "Well, these folks will surely overcome their silly superstitious beliefs once they receive the full benefits of the humanistic education they were denied." How condescending!

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
