Pilgrim
I have tried to form my question clearer; but I was not able to.
But I guess what I am asking is what the article said true?

I also asked my pastor to look at the issue as well and he told me it is all too real and all Christians should be concerned. I also did further research and found out that this is mostly true. However, there are people on both sides of the issue that go too far. Socialists tend to use the issues for their own agendas. Yet the far right seems to deny that racism is a problem at all. One person who claims to be a NYC police officer. ( I confirmed this) and a Reformed Christian. Claimed that racism is way overblown and anyone who says different has fallen prey to the liberal agenda. He also stated that racism is nowhere mentioned in the Bible and is not a sin.
The problem however, is racism is a fact that can not be denied. I have seen racism in action and I have had a bit of it happen to me as well.
Lacrae the supposed Christian Rap artist recently says he has separated himself from "White Evangelicalism" and John Piper has actually defended him. The fact that Lacrae said this does not really surprise me, seeing how he is very shallow in his theology anyway, having wrote some of the music for the movie 'The Shack'. The reason Piper seemed to defend him seemed to be concerning the very real racism some blacks get on an almost daily basis. Yet, like many of the things Piper has done in the last 10 years or so, they are very unwise and I am stating that mildly.

The answer of course is the Gospel that breaks down the barriers and unites all in Christ. When I hear of Christians using racism, I take it to mean that they have yet to understand the Gospel in that area of their lives.
