There is a huge flaw in the argument that this is a civil rights issue comparable to the 1960s. It is Biblically wrong to discriminate based on color or position (in Christ there is no Jew or Gentile, slave or free, etc.) People cannot change the color of their skin, nor should they, but they are able to change their sinful behavior.
