Ah...   Thank you.   Do you know who the "white guys" were?

He was hired by some white guys as a front man because he was black.  
They
wanted to organize black churches.  He was "assigned" 20 churches to
"organize."  He wasn't getting anywhere with those churches.  The 
"white
guys" told him that folks in the church preferred someone who was a 
church
member.  He went scouting thorugh the 20 churches and came up with 
Wright.
Liked Wright, joined his church and found out the "white guys" were 
correct
in that after he had a church to belong to the other churches welcomed 
him
as "one of us" and were willing to work with him.

He also stated in an the faith debate that "religion is a tool."  That 
is a
direct quote.
