Is there still segregation today?

The Question is, Is there still segregation today? Let me Try to answer it . Yes!




Americans may have elected a black man as president, but it's segregation as usual in U.S. churches, according to the scholars. Only about 5 percent of the nation's churches are racially and ethnically integrated, and half of them are in the process of becoming all-black or all-white, says Curtiss Paul DeYoung, co-author of "United by Faith," a book that examines interracial churches in the United States.



You will find multi-racial and multi-cultural environments at work and in most neighborhoods in America. But on Sunday morning you will find the biggest racial divide in America. The churches of America are the main bastion of racism in America today. We were slapped in the face with this fact during the recent Presidential campaign In where the Reverend Wrights of our country were spotlighted. The term Black Theology hit the headlines. Then on the other side of the coin we have the Korean Baptist Church, The Samoan Assembly and the Iglesia De Dios and of course The Aryan Nation/ Church of Jesus Christ Christian. These are just some examples, but about 95% of churches in this Country are segregated by race and ethnicity. It seems that it is by the choice of those who attend the churches. What does that say about Americans? It says, in my opinion, that we will not totally back away from the racism that has been a shameful part of our history as a nation.We put a good face forward during the week, but come Sunday Morning It's back to our racial comfort zones.
