they should worship where they feel most comfortable. Hopefully people of different races but similar beliefs will feel comfortable being together.

I think that Christians of different races should love and support one another. If the individual wants to go to integrated church they should and if not they shouldn't. I think that there may be different cultural issues that the pastor would need to be aware of and deal with between the races and that common goals unite people. I don't think it is right this economic discrepancy but it is what it is and I think that like minded people can accomplish there goals easier and that staying apart is OK because of that too.
For example I checked out he church in Chicago on the net that Obama whoever that may run for president goes to and they helped a lot of causes for African Americans and Africa itself. And they had groups to help African American men reenter society after incarceration. Getting out of gangs. These things would not inspire most white people like it does the African American members of this church.

I would like to see everyone happily belonging to the same church. I think that would be a good thing.
But people are different. Some people worship the Lord thy God in quiet reverence. Others worship God Almighty at the top of their lungs in loud praise. Put these two in the same room and see what happens....
Separate churches are good for this. As long as we all understand we are worshiping the same God.
Best wishes.

They should be one Church regardless of race. Separating the church only leads to conflict, like segregation in the old South.

Many mainline Christian churches have attempted to integrate for nearly 25 years-it will not work. Black people do not want to go to church with whites and whites don't want to go with blacks. To force the issue only makes enemies out of otherwise tolerant people.
So, to answer your question-go where you feel best.

That amazes me? Go where they believe you can do what you want? Kind of like buying apples.
No, what you want really doesn't matter. God doesn't ask what do you want? He says this is the truth. Be truthful and obedient to what I say. Not what you want to hear.
Luke asked him are those being saved few?
He said, "go in thru the narrow gate because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction and cramped and narrow the ones leading to life and few are the ones following it."
So very few will be saved. Most things done in religon is a lie.

Both.
We should integrate and as Christians feel comfortable with one another whatever we may be.

unfortunately some people don't feel comfortable being around people of different races cultures or skin color if you ask me that's a form of segregation that is still around in the world period

I think wherever a person feels they can be used most by God whether in a racially mixed church or not.
