-It also doesn't help that many black pastors are so deeply imbedded in the Democratic party, and regardless of how much they agree with the Republicans on social issues, they are not willing to give up whatever kickbacks they may be getting from the Democrats.-

what are these "kickbacks" you mentioned? i'm just wondering what you think Black pastors are getting for their stated support.
also, the same could be said for Black pastors who support the GOP. i've heard it said that Black pastors would benefit from faith-based programs (that the GOP are pushing) that they run in their churches which benefit their coffers. for example, those ministers who work to rehabilitate prisoners and other examples i can't recall off the top of my head.
"i'll scratch your back if you scratch mine" works on both sides of the aisle, so to speak...
