Can't agree with you at all, Ken.  First, Black is not exaggerating in so
great a manner.  Identity Christianity is growing and its seeds take root
in an atmosphere such as the one we have today.  Farmers are actively recruited
in the heartland with lines like "The Jew bankers are foreclosing on your
mortgages and taking away your farms."  I think with toads like Black (who
is probably NOT an Identity Christian judging from his adherence to the
newfound style of net satirist ('funny', Ray Frank) who simply asserts utter
balderdash in an effort to get people upset.  It would seem that he harbors
some ill feeling towards Jews for some reason.  But in any case, such
balderdash IS best refuted rather than allowing such seeds to take root.
(Witness sysvis!george's comments about "it does the 'jew' good to hear
this...").  Such crap is so easily debunked as to make it seem like it's
not a challenge, which in turn leads people to think "nobody could ever
believe that crap, why bother?"  Which is one reason why it should be done,
for what's obvious to you or to me is not necessarily so obvious to someone
else.
