Race in America

Race in America has been an issue for several years.  Even though slavery has been abolished and the Civil Rights movement changed the face of this sacred country, nothing has changed.  In reading a few of these articvles in both CNN and Exploring Race in the Chicago Tribune, what I find most striking of them all was that Americans wanted churches to be segregated on Sundays.  This makes me upset because not only is racial discrimination a never ending battle in the country, but also some African Americans and whites had to say who does and who does not go to church due to the fear of a hostile environment because of racism.  In the US alone, only 5 percent of churches are integrated  and its only for the sole purpose of not errupting racila tension in a religious institution.  What I do not understand about this issue is that that can they just get a long especially in worshipping the same God.   These match up with Andrew Hacker and Tim Wise's articles because it shows that Blacks cannot have the privilege to have an integrated church the same way they cannot live in suburbs or neighborhoods that have a major population of white Americans.  There was no difference in this issue but the big change was that it had to be also about a place to worship.  My "hidden bias" did not have any impact on this case because I had no preference between African Americans and white Americans.
