Think about it..In the poorest sections of any city there are more churches than anything else. Huge churches, million dollar churches sometimes. The dependance of the black civil rights movement on the church has been very documented. But know, with people like Sharpton and Jackson, do you think its time for the black rights movement to separate church and state?

Sharpton and Jackson have limited black progress. Black people need to find other leaders to follow besides those two useless, pandering @ssholes. Black churches as an institution are about the only unifying factor that we have left, especially for poor folks. And separation of church and state have nothing to do with the "black progress issue". Nobody is looking to set up a black-governed religious regime. We just want to not be treated like dirt all the time.
What would really help would be for young black people to embrace other role models besides rappers and professional athletes who live the wrong lifestyle and get into trouble all the time.

Do you live in detroit like i do?
Well i live in a detroit suburb but i work in detroit every day, and you are right, i see huge beautiful granite and stone 4 story tall churches.
If there were no messed up blacks, the churches would have no constituents.
Thus it its in the churches best interest to have messed up blacks, so they can get money for their new rolls royces and cadillacs.

Actually I think the Government has limited black progress. This is because the Government encourages black citizens to "stick together" and "black rights" - - etc etc. By encouraging Blacks to vehemntly stick to their culture it keeps them seperated from the main stream of economics and growth. By encouraging ebonics, and special rights they are actually repressing the black culture while cleverly disguising it as progress. What needs to happen is for the black culture to be fully intigrated. Then and only then will Blacks be allowed into places of power and disrupt the Old White Men who run this country.

It's time for the black rights movement to stop segregating blacks. Black churches? Black schools? Why do they want to segregate themselves so much? A white church or white school would be called racist. What's the difference?

The earliest civil rights movements came from the Bible if you ask me.
