Mark Silk

Fr. Pfleger sticks by the substance of his remarks from Tinity UCC’s pulpit, as opposed to the manner of delivery. Did Hillary Clinton feel entitled to the Democratic presidential nomination. It’s hard not to think so. Does this express a more general feeling among whites that we’re entitled to be at the front of the line? Without pronouncing on the merits of that proposition, my feeling is that any feeling of entitlement on Hillary’s part transcended considerations of race. A youngish white newcomer (of either gender) would, I’m guessing, have been regarded in much the same way as Obama was by the Clintonistas. So maybe not a very accurate homily on Fr. Pfleger’s part.

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
