the other part of the disconnect has to do with the 'type' of religion you're talking about
Not what brand or faith but it's very aspect. Rev Wright is a pulpit preacher. Not an academic. He's not a religious scholar. He's not a Black John Shelby Spong, for example. He's a shouter. And for Whitebread America that's offputting unless you yourself come from a raucous Pentacostal or Baptist background. It all seems a little weird to you, doesn't it. So in that way Wright was right, that criticism is in part a condemnation of Black churches, it is a little bit.
