I agree, that doesn't sound right. I believe that historically black churches might have formed their own group to insure, which makes sense given the vandalism in the past. I do not know. This is just my guess.

I believe that if you included the "historically black churches" the number of sexual abuse against a minor complaints would be nearly the same. Pedophiles tend to be white, not black. So, if they included the "historically..." the numbers wouldn't have looked as bad.

You also must remember that many protestant churches use "peer groups" for overnight stays. These older children molesting younger children might be a factor. Experimentation and a search for power, (as well as shared pain) contribute to a large amount of minor to minor molestation cases.
