There is an interesting article on the the effect of race in acceptance in a club.

When equality isn't
There is an interesting article on CNN.com that talks about interracial congregations at church.

I guess I just can't understand why a House of God is a place where race matters. I am familiar with the history of the Mormon church and it's relationship to African Americans but a lot of that attitude has changed and more and more there are people that stand up and say that we are ALL God's children, color isn't significant. Notice I didn't say anything about cultural differences. Our differences complete us, make us stronger. As a world, we should look for things we have in common and build on those. Differences don't have to separate us.
