African american Quote by Kirk Franklin
“I would never say that claiming you're a Christian is wrong. I understand that there is a human aspect of being able to identify people whether it's African American, Hispanic or Asian. But the definition doesn't define the relationship, meaning you can be married and still not know intimacy.”
