I've been reading these posts with some interest.

I live in Cincinnati, Ohio.  I'm not sure how it compares with other
mid-large sized cities as far as racism is concerned, but I can share
something with you.

If any churches are "racially" separate, in my area it is because the
neighborhood the church is established in is also racially separate.  It
has been my experience that churches in well blended neighborhoods have
well blended congregations.  My church is in a predominantly white
mid-upper class neighborhood.  We have mostly white attendance (I and one
other family are biracial).  Zion Temple across town in a mostly black
neighborhood has predominantly black attendance.  Etc. Etc.  That is
because of demographics, not design, as far as I've seen.
