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.
