never said anything like that. I'm talking about guys like Wright (and Falwell) and how people will fall all over themselves to justify a persons bigotry because they had a rough time at some point or they claim to have some moral authority ... not "the black community" (which is a point of dispute among blacks). I was answering dc's specific questions he posed about blacks in general. BTW - Jesus is a white Dutchman, check out the paintings.

I'm taller than my brother. I make less money than one of my sisters. I've worked for rich blacks. There is no one-to-one individual equality.
