And it *was* very, very different when some 40 to 80 predominantly African-American churches were burned down in 1995 and 1996. (CNN reported as many as 429 incidents of "arson, bombings, or attempted bombings" http://www.cnn.com/US/9706/08/church.arson.pm/) Churches and other civic groups from around the country donated money to these churches to help them rebuild when it was thought that the burnings were racially motivated (I don't remember the ultimate resolution of the situation). There was quite an uproar about it for two or three years.
