Are African-American churchgoers more likely to respond favorably to an emotional preacher?

Question

Here is a statement that was made about Barack Obama:

--"The Rev. Robert Abbott, pastor of the Holy Trinity Baptist Church in Amityville, N.Y., said Obama connects with black audiences because of the preacher's style he uses when addressing them."--

What does Mr. Abbot mean by this? What is the "preacher's style"? Whatever it is, isn't Mr. Abbot using a stereotype of black audiences? Are black people supposed to be more likely than any other group to respond favorably to a "preacher's style"?

Answer 1

It would seem so, but then you have white preachers who seem to be doing the same thing now.

Answer 2

Oh, you are such a boring little klan boy.

I'm off to find something that really interests me and has an intelligent level of creativity. You're played out.

Blah..Talk about the white preachers instead of the Black people. Talk about whites more and the negativities behind them. There is so much, much more than Black people any day. Go on...do it now.

Answer 3

YES! And so does all other people. People in the United States have been brainwashed by the media and government to believe in nonsense. The people in this country are easily lead to believe in things that they don't understand. Stevie Wonder knew this.

Answer 4

you should go to a black church and find out. It'll be an all day Sunday thing
