One line that struck me (and not just because I love the way the words flow) from the interview excerpt below was this: "As the Negro struggles against grave injustice, most white churchmen offer pious irrelevancies and sanctimonious trivialities."
On what issues today might the church (or some subset of it) be doing the same? It is my fear that the church could suffer from similar blind spots today... which we cannot see since we're in the midst of it.
What grave injustices do we ignore, or dismiss with hollow holy-speak?

One thing we say is "he'll just spend it on drugs."
Or on a larger scale, "their government is corrupt, so if we gave them aid, it would never get to the right people."
Even if these things are true, we could find other ways to offer our help.
