G sharp, I think you're right. I was listening to commentary the other day by a notable african-american pundit on NPR--who's name (b/c of too many glasses of wine...Juan something...) escapes me--who wrote a book on religion and the african-american experience. Historically, many have pointed to Sunday morning as being the most segregated time of the week throughout America. His observation was that however ironic it is, the theo-conservatives and evagelical christians, are now among the most integrated. Sounds strange, but it's a undeniable phenonmen. Check out the 700 Club (Pat Robertson) and you'll see blacks and whites doing the PTL equally......
