Black folks and Religion 👀

[TAYLONDO SAMSWORTHY]

Where’s yall head at in 2024 regarding religion?

 

[TEH]

The people in the Bible were not white.

Cacs didn’t live in the dessert and in the wilderness of ancient Palestine.

Say that 100 times every time you think that cacs wrote the Bible.

 

[Flexington]

I'd say I'm agnostic, to keep it simple

 

[greenvale]

I do believe in a higher power, but I do think the emphasis on forgiveness has a negative impact on us imo,

They didn't write it but they still used it to promote slavery and divorce them from their original spiritual practices.

Excerpts from the text:

Your principal objective in our mission in the Congo is never to teach the ******s to know God, this they know already. They speak and submit to a Mungu, one Nzambi, one Nzakomba, and what else I don't know. They know that to kill, to sleep with someone else's wife, to lie and to insult is bad. Have courage to admit it; you are not going to teach them what they know already. Your essential role is to facilitate the task of administrators and industrials, which means you will go to interpret the gospel in the way it will be the best to protect your interests in that part of the world. For these things, you have to keep watch on disinteresting our savages from the richness that is plenty [in their underground. To avoid that, they get interested in it, and make you murderous] competition and dream one day to overthrow you.

Your knowledge of the gospel will allow you to find texts ordering, and encouraging your followers to love poverty, like “Happier are the poor because they will inherit the heaven” and, “It's very difficult for the rich to enter the kingdom of God.” You have to detach from them and make them disrespect everything which gives courage to affront us. I make reference to their Mystic System and their war fetish – warfare protection – which they pretend not to want to abandon, and you must do everything in your power to make it disappear.

Your action will be directed essentially to the younger ones, for they won't revolt when the recommendation of the priest is contradictory to their parent's teachings. The children have to learn to obey what the missionary recommends, who is the father of their soul. You must singularly insist on their total submission and obedience, avoid developing the spirit in the schools, teach students to read and not to reason. There, dear patriots, are some of the principles that you must apply. You will find many other books, which will be given to you at the end of this conference. Evangelize the ******s so that they stay forever in submission to the white colonialists, so they never revolt against the restraints they are undergoing. Recite every day – “Happy are those who are weeping because the kingdom of God is for them.”

Convert always the blacks by using the whip. Keep their women in nine months of submission to work freely for us. Force them to pay you in sign of recognition-goats, chicken or eggs-every time you visit their villages. And make sure that ******s never become rich. Sing every day that it's impossible for the rich to enter heaven. Make them pay tax each week at Sunday mass. Use the money supposed for the poor, to build flourishing business centres. Institute a confessional system, which allows you to be good detectives denouncing any black that has a different consciousness contrary to that of the decision-maker. Teach the ******s to forget their heroes and to adore only ours. Never present a chair to a black that comes to visit you. Don't give him more than one cigarette. Never invite him for dinner even if he gives you a chicken every time you arrive at his house.

“The above speech which shows the real intention of the Christian missionary journey in Africa was exposed to the world by Mr. Moukouani Muikwani Bukoko, born in the Congo in 1915, and who in 1935 while working in the Congo, bought a second hand Bible from a Belgian priest who forgot the speech in the Bible. – Dr. Chiedozie Okoro

They intentionally misinterpreted the Bible and lied to enslave and subjugate people.

Why didn't they use Ife to do that? Or Rog? Or any other religion that black people on the continent practiced?

 

[Kisame]

im waiting for the day we shall set them on fire for their lies and deciet

 

[Neuromancer]

They stole it and used it for evil

Wonder why they chose it instead of Ife or Rog or the Zulu beliefs or the Dogon beliefs.

The people there knew Ife and there is no Ife texts to misinterpret.

Leopold says that in the text I posted.

Sounds like it was very easy to change what the texts meant. Funny that.
