should know better? Religious Blacks are regarded as leaders in their communities, respectable, civil rights activists, etc.

religious Whites are regarded as buffoons, hicks, uneducated, anti-science, hillbilly.

Bring on the leftist denials...but its true...I don't care how you try to spin it
 
If you are refusing to hear an answer to your question, then why are you asking the question?

"but its true...I don't care how you try to spin it"

Why would you waste everybody's time if you're just going to completely deny any answer that you are opposed to?
 
Which religious whites are you referring to? If you are talking about the ones on the right like Pat Robertson, it's because they actually are as you describe. OTOH, if you ever got involved in any left issues like human rights you would find that a lot of religious leaders were deeply involved in that sort of politics. Sister Helen Prejean, to name one example.

I would imagine it's dependent on how the person conducts himself. There is a huge difference between Dr. King and Jimmy Swaggart.
 
I've never seen a Rabbi portrayed as a buffoon, uneducated anti-science hillbilly.

Most of the priests I've seen haven't been portrayed that way either...

Besides that, pop culture hasn't been all that kind to the black religious leaders either, nor has black folklore for that matter.
