The only preacher I watch pretty often is Charles Stanley. Watched him
for decades. I think he is in his 80s and still preaching. I don't feel
that from him, but I guess others might.

Indeed, when I happen glance some white big-name TV preachers, I feel a
sense of paternalistic arrogance from them. I certainly do not want to
behave or to be perceived like that... a reason to have me keep a more quiet
profile. On the other hand, the inspiring gospel choirs that grew from the
black church make public expression of religiousness more acceptable and
full of joy.

Hi Chris,

Interesting observation Ernie. Why do you suppose that is? As one of
your white brethren, I feel self-restrained about being publically
religious, mostly because I would be uncomfortable putting on a public show.
That is probably a combination of my upbringing, innate personality, and
also my perceptions of the expectations of society.
Great question. White religiosity (for various reasons) is associated with
paternalistic arrogance -- the way black anger is stereotypically tied to
uncontrolled violence.
It is probably no coincidence that liberal religion tends toward
fatherlessness, white guilt, and permissiveness...
