How do Black Christians rationalize the history of why they are Christian?

When I was a child, I spoke as child, thought as a child and understood as a child, but when I became a man, I put away childish things. Born Christian, baptized baptist. My understanding of religion and spirituality has evolved beyond Christianity at this stage of my life.
Mark 10:13-16

13 And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.

14 But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

16 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.

That the Bible belong to cacs, nikkas had no tie to the Bible before them, that our history is only tied to West Africa, etc.

Understanding speech as it relates to creative power is a cornerstone of understanding in both the Bible and ancient Egypt (Moses is the son of "Pharaohs Daughter")

Dedi - Wikipedia
Now the king says: “It is said that you know the number of Iput inside the wenet-sanctuary of Thoth. Now?”[3] Djedi replies: “May you be praised, oh sovereign, my lord! I don't know their number. But I know where they can be found.”

I look at this passage as Jesus saying we should have childlike attitude in our relationship to God. Keep it simple love God with all your heart and likewise your neighbors. I actually agree with this passage. The problem as I see it is most (white, western) Christians don’t practice in this format, otherwise we wouldn’t have the national problems we have now.

Its true, but like children we should maintain our plasticity but be mindful of what we are actively saying as well.

A child is always in a state of defining what is not known and as they age less things interest them because they have "identified and known" many things. Until finally they become adults and are fixed in what they know about the world and go forth with that understanding. However if that understanding leads to nothing then what was the purpose of knowing in the first place?

the more we know the less we know in a sense. What we actively conclude is more dangerous than what we know we dont know
