I feel you. The spot I volunteer at has many people initiated in Ifa. What always made me look at it strange was how many "liberal" cacs come in to get initiated.
Then I drive home and see all these churches with white Jesus on the wall with hundreds of black folks lined up around the block even though everything in the city is run down.

Now ask yourself. Do you think someone who sells the secrets of their people to any and everyone would be trustworthy? How do you know your soul isnt being used as a sacrifice by them?
If it was profitable for both parties, how come the Africans who stayed have nothing to show for it?
The richest people I ever met were all in Afrika (besides two old money white people from the US). When you get to visit many of the affluent parts of certain countries back home you will meet people with palaces and every car imaginable, gold fixtures all thru their home, who's families have been rich for like 500 years. It's just not part of the USA news propaganda cycle to show how many african millionaires and billionaires there truly are.
What circles you runnin in
The same ones talked about online everyday, worshipped on TV, and kept well fed off of the money of the average church going black folk that literally live to work and get 2 days off on the weekend. The ones that found the cheat code. And some have taken generations of their fam out of poverty with that cheat code.
Celebrities are GODS to normal people. just watch Thugga walk thru Lenox and watch grown men and women follow him from store to store filming him with their phones just to post on IG, while he won't even make eye contact with them. All to show other people how important they feel because they were in the presence of a GOD. Even though he breaths and bleeds just like them.

And how come everyone who makes the claim that "Africans sold Africans" don't ever produce a receipt?
Because the Europeans came back and completely colonized Africa, before Africa was never colonized. Africans were business partners with Europeans. Africans even got a chance to got to Europe and were treated as royalty. African women were married off to Europeans. Europeans never thought of Africans as inferior until the TransAtlantic Trade became one of the most profitable ventures for Europeans in history...especially the USA.
Plus removing millions of people from your own land creates a brain drain...and on top of that...removing millions of people isn't smart from a nation point of view...but like I said, Africans did not believe in nations or races, only tribes and kingdoms...so it didn't really matter as long as their tribe is okay.
Nation and Race is a Western European concept.
And Ghana apologized for the slave trade, it is widely accepted and have been proven that Africans sold Africans, there actual receipts for slaves...you just gonna have to read Where the Negros Are Masters to understand how a slave port works and how Africans kept the slave trade going through deals with Europeans.

Sparks demystifies the dynamics of the slave trade to show colossal, interconnected, and unseen dimensions of the Atlantic world system. He observes how the Fantes’ initial exchange of African gold for European cloth and other commodities at Annamaboe shifted to a trade in slaves as plantation slavery in the Americas grew dramatically. Sparks points out how different power players on the coast — such as Fante rulers, chiefs, and caboceers — jealously guarded the profitable trade, while their Portuguese, British, Dutch, and French trading partners competed amongst themselves to monopolize it. Pawning, an indigenous African trade practice in which family members became collateral, lent itself to African-European socio-economic relationships, which proved critical to the expanding slave trade. These transactions, hinging on familial consent, personal connections, African-European cultural exchange, and a delicate balance of trust, worked together to facilitate the development of the slave trade at Annamaboe. It was this dynamic that ultimately distinguished the business of slave trading from piracy and kidnapping.
Ghana apologizes for slave trade
Ghana apologizes to slaves' descendants
"Project Joseph" is an invitation to blacks who trace their history to the slave trade to reconnect with the land of their ancestors. It's an invitation that comes with an apology — not from the Western countries usually associated with slave masters, but from Ghanaians themselves.
Says Emmanuel Hagan, director of research and statistics at Ghana's Ministry of Tourism and Diasporean Relations: "The reason we wanted to do some formal thing is that we want — even if it's just for the surface of it, for the cosmetic of it — to be seen to be saying, `Sorry to those who feel very strongly, and who we believe have distorted history, because they get the impression that it was people here who just took them and sold them.'
Chill. Europeans got lucky when they invaded africa. It took them over 400 yrs to conquer usSo if these practices are so powerful, why did we get our lands looted and the people enslaved for the last 524 years?
Naw I'm not trynna upset the gods or be on some funnystyle shyt I'm serious

And that's the only thing that's held me back from getting initiated the last 6 months to be honest. They all cool people but it just rubs me the wrong way at how open they are in letting Caucasians in the mix. Maybe when I move back to Atlanta and become more knowledgeable on the native cultures.
And let's say I was being used as a sacrifice, would it be a good idea for me to protect myself from their energy manipulation with my own?
slavery was ohase one. Colonization and missionaries where phase 2. Many Africans abandoned their culture in order to assimilate with europeans. Because of this anything non european was deamed demonic.

Lets be real...Africa wasn't invaded, they got let in...
So many Europeans died even making the boat ride to Africa to even get the slaves.
If the chiefs didn't want the Europeans there to trade with, Europeans would still be in Europe...doing not shyt.
