Uh, I think that you're attributing a statement made by another
fundamentalist minister (who had some kind of ties to Falwell)
to Falwell himself.  If someone can pinpoint the incident
better, I'd appreciate it.  My recollection is that, because
of Falwell's personal and doctrinal ties to the other minister,
Falwell found himself having to account for this position, and
this has led to his more recent pro-Israel statements.


By the way, it's kind of interesting having Mr. Black around,
but surely some of the Christians in this newsgroup have to
feel as if suddenly a backwoods relative came to a chic party
they were throwing and talked about "the dumb niggers and chinks" 
in the big city (note that I'm not attributing that quotation to
Mr. Black).  Perhaps he's so embarassing that it's only the other
guests at the party that will deal with him. :-(

BTW, the "dumb nigger" incident happened, after a fashion, in
my family many years ago.  And it *was* painful.
