  D. Walker:
  
  answer to question #1: YES THERE IS A RACIAL PROBLEM IN AMERICA!! NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!!
  
  answer to question #2: NO DOUBT RACISM IS A SIN -- JUST AS FORNICATION, ADULTERY, HOMOSEXUALITY, PRIDE, ETC. are SINS!!
  
  God is an equal-opportunity HATER of ALL SIN -- NO sin is "greater" or "worse" in His Eyes! People who think otherwise are fooled!!
  
  Yes, there needs to be dialogue on racial problems in America and in America's churches!
  
  I am blessed to be a member of the most racially and culturally integrated churches in the midwest!! AND would say that our church has the most interracial couples and families percentagewise throughtout the midwest!!

  D. Walker: Why are those the only two answers/possibilities you will entertain?
  
  I am one of those who "proclaim" to be a Christian. My lack of response is because I was at the hospital takiing care of my wife. But I didn't see that, or even anything remotely close to it, as an option on your survey. Therefore I chose not to respond. I guess taking care of one's spouse instead of answering some on-line message board makes me less than a true Christian, if I understand the intent of your question.
  
  Sorry if I'm a bit snappy, been up for almost 49 hours, and counting....
  
  Have a great day.

  This looks like a case of "silencing Christians" to me.
  
  "One of the roles of the prophets: Sometimes you offend. You afflict the comfortable but comfort the afflicted,"
  
  If Christians can't "offend" and "afflict the comfortable", we cease to be Christians.

  I am extremely surprised by the lack of responses to this article from those proclaiming to be Christians. Is it beacuse:
  
  1. You do not feel we have a racial problem in America?
  
  2. Or, you do not feel racism is evil and a sin?
  
  Which is it?
