So are you afraid of the responsibility of marriage and fatherhood? Is that the true path for how the black man should treat the woman?

So far this is the only post that kinda touches on what I would like to know, but I will ask it.

What religions were our ancestors/ancient Africans were they practicing before slavery?

We've been asking that for the longest and still no answer. The victor writes the history books though

And no - im not an atheist at all. I fully believe and talk to God/The Creator/higher power daily, just make my own rules of life with him, and do my best to be a kind person to everyone.

I don’t subscribe to any man-delivered religions or messages.

But how does everyone (my family, your family, etc) just gloss over the only reason we as Black folks follow the Christian religion is due to being beaten into it through Slavery and Colonialism. (Talking about the majority of us Americans, Caribbeans, Africans, not any ancient Ethiopians or whatnot with their own form of Christianity)

do we all just ignore/not even look at history?

Black people, especially older black people accept it with the temperament of a battered spouse.

The sense of community and joy makes us forget that the religion was used as a vehicle for the beatings we took and continue to take.

So the people that haven't heard about Jesus, what about them? Why is he the only way?

Because He is.

Are you going to teach your son that hid manhood is tied to committing crime or are you going to teach him to obey the law and be productive, legally.

Nobody beat Christianity into me.

Its what my Granny believed, and her Granny before her, so it’s what I believe too.

It’s not the religion, it’s how you use it to better your own life.

You’d know that if you actually had someone that loved you that wasn’t devilish.

so you're saying no one in your lineage was beaten into submission into following christianity?

 

[invincible1914]

Didn't somebody point out that Jesus himself wasn't"Christian" some of y'all slow.

How can Jesus "Christ" not be considered Christian? How can a man be part of a move that's based on His death? I don't really see the point in debating something that's based mostly on having faith. No one has had a logical stream of thought and ended up a Christian.

Name a Christian ritual that isn't pagan/plagiarism for monetary purposes.

Prayer

One, the Bible literally tells you the color of Jesus-- burninshed bronze or jasper/sardius stone. Two, Christianity was in Africa for a very long time.

Read Obadiah if you want to know the fate of the oppressors

1 The vision of Obadiah.

This is what the Sovereign Lord says about Edom—

We have heard a message from the Lord:
An envoy was sent to the nations to say,
“Rise, let us go against her for battle”—

2 “See, I will make you small among the nations;
you will be utterly despised.
3 The pride of your heart has deceived you,
you who live in the clefts of the rocks
and make your home on the heights,
you who say to yourself,
‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’
4 Though you soar like the eagle
and make your nest among the stars,
from there I will bring you down,”
declares the Lord.
5 “If thieves came to you,
if robbers in the night—
oh, what a disaster awaits you!—
would they not steal only as much as they wanted?
If grape pickers came to you,
would they not leave a few grapes?
6 But how Esau will be ransacked,
his hidden treasures pillaged!
7 All your allies will force you to the border;
your friends will deceive and overpower you;
those who eat your bread will set a trap for you,
but you will not detect it.

8 “In that day,” declares the Lord,
“will I not destroy the wise men of Edom,
those of understanding in the mountains of Esau?
9 Your warriors, Teman, will be terrified,
and everyone in Esau’s mountains
will be cut down in the slaughter.
10 Because of the violence against your brother Jacob,
you will be covered with shame;
you will be destroyed forever.

you aint slid on shyt a day in yo life . Your criminal record is non existent . Stop encouraging that shyt if you not bout it . you nerds are crazy

People who put in work don’t be on the net crying like a hoe like you doing

Ive asked myself this shyt for the past 20 years because many people know this already but disregard it. shyt that i dont understand. That aint our ancestors beliefs. Post traumatic slave syndrome is real. shyt STILL hurts black people to this day all indoctrinated in a belief system that isnt native to their ancestry. I cant.


Whether folks wanna hear it or not. The church hurts the black community. It served its purpose during MLK and Malcolm times as the church became the base of operations. Not now. shyts was co-opted since the late 60s. Thats why yall see jeese jackson and al sharpton by picked by the government as black america so called leaders. shyt was infiltrated

Pretty sure Jesus was Jewish and then like a 100+ years after he was dead people starting writing the Christian Bible ducktales about him

 

[JadeB]

I don't know. Do the majority of ados Christians people know Jesus is black in 2021 I would assume so.

Everyone with a white jesus poster on their wall is probably on their way out

Jesus (in the human form 2000 years ago) is a brown Middle Eastern man
