Not sure what you mean by this, but a lot of African-Americans are very relgious, and hold very traditional views of morality. Do you think that's a problem?

^^^^^^ CB: Yea, I would "tell" the white people as well as the Black that the "wingnuts" and "lunatic fringe" Christians are significantly fascistic zealots. The idea is to convince the majority of Christians to reject the rightwing Christians, to isolate the rightwing Christians.

Unfortunately , the opposite happened with Bill Moyers being removed from PBS. He sharply criticized the rightwing Christians.

I see that Chip B. talks about wingnuts, lunatic fringe , but also "extremists" and then "Christian Right". I realize he is criticizing the use of these terms, but it gets a bit ambiguous whether he is only referring to the "fringe" or the "fringe" plus the "right-center".

Anyway, there isn't much rightwing African-American religiosity. More center .
