The Issue:
Racism has created a tangible divide within
the social sectors and power structures of
our world today.
This divide can be seen by the stark
contrast within the socioeconomic
structures, prison systems, and educational
statistics within our country.
For example, whites often control better,
high paying jobs and usually maintain better
opportunities for advancement whereas
minorities often have less stable jobs with
less authority, power, and prestige.
Racism today is structural and it even
effects the church. The Church is still the
most segregated institution in America.
