The religious angle is an attempt to address the institutions that are most prevalent in the Black community, in general. I think they also interviewed a Black economist (or some equivalent) and he may have been the person whose clip they used in response to "is debt a bigger problem than racism."
According to the clip, it was Rev. Dr. DeForest B. Soaries who said that.

ETA: His Wikipedia page. Nothing on his "wiki-resume" is economics-related. It pretty much focuses on his ministry.
