I am Christian African American man who goes to a mostly white church. Most of my friends are white. I am a deaf interpreter and my wife is deaf. I see things between AA and white Christians are getting better in many ways and yet when I tell them that racism is still alive in 2006. They seem to have a closed mind or they do not want to hear the sad truth. Since I work in the deaf ministry, black and white deaf is not a major problem. Most of my white Christian friends have an open mind and yet there are those who refuse to have an open mind. These inviduals feel that the term (African American) is political correct term and there is no racism. I try to be patient and educate them the reality of race relations and how the term (African American) is to uplift and give pride to descendants of African heritage. If you are African American, do you have how you do deal with those who do not see racism in the USA? If you are white, do you try to see things from an African American Point of view?
