RACIAL RELATIONS IN THE WORKPLACE T he PBS NewsHour and Marist College poll asked about employment opportuni- ties. Over three-fourths 76 percent of blacks believe they do not have the same opportunities. However 52 percent of whites believe all races have the same job opportunities. The CBSNYTs poll showed 60 percent of blacks believe whites have a better chance to get ahead up from 46 percent one year earlier. RACIAL RELATIONS ONE ON ONE T he CBSNYT poll showed that 71 percent of blacks and 60 percent of whites are uncomfortable with discussing racial issues with another race. However when asked if they had personally felt discriminated against 31 percent of whites and 72 percent of blacks said yes. While 71 percent of Americans say there has been real progress getting rid of racial discrimination since the 1960s that is the lowest number since 2000. RACE RELATIONS AND THE CHURCH M artin Luther King Jr. lamented that 11 oclock Sunday morning is still the most segregated hour of the week. Unfortunately data shows that some of the least diverse groups today are churches. The 2014 Religious Landscape Study looked at 29 Protestant Catholic and other faith groups. It noted as a baseline that the United States popu- lation is 66 percent white 15 percent Latino 12 percent black and 4 percent Asian. The Seventh-Day Adventist churches are the most diverse with 37 percent white 32 percent black 15 percent Latino and 8 percent Asian. 16 WWW.AGRM.ORG MAYJUNE 2016
