[PortCityProphet]

Vast majority (99%) of Black churchgoers haven't been 'duped' or 'touched', so that means nothing.

You're just like them in those regards...... AND percentages.

You can't just pull a random number out your ass especially 99% and say it doesn't happen

Bruh its a reason why there are running jokes in the black community about the building fund,about pastors pulling up in benzs and other fancy shyt, fukkin members of the congregation. But I guess that's all based on nothing huh? And these are the people who god "chooses" to deliver his word

Give up you'll never win this argument

 

[PortCityProphet]

That had nothing to do with religion and I'm tired of ignorant, non reading nikkas spewing that non sense. The church was not the foundation of the Civil Rights movement. It was simply a part of it. Black people would've followed/stood with anybody who could mobilize and organize at the level of MLK. All we needed was unity and a plan and MLK provided that.

Right. Panthers weren't rocking with any type of religion and were getting mad shyt done. Didn't need to follow "gods word" to lead them. They saw what was needed and formed a plan and had people followed.

Back in the day it was the white boys that were atheists. Once the internet came, it started spreading throughout the black community.

I see what you're saying my guy and I respectfully disagree. If more black people were Atheist, we as a people woild be better off.

I don't see how.

There's more atheists, now, and we're actually getting worse.​

I was gonna mention that. The 70s black panthers were the antithesis to the MLK Civil rights movement and they were such a threat that the government actively sought to assassinate them. Word to my brother Fred Hampton. Any black leaders with organizational skills, bravery, charisma and education would've atrracted the black attention.

There are more intellectually "woke" black people now than there has ever been in this country bruh.

And Martin Luther King, Jr., got you the right to vote, go to any school, work at any job, live in any neighborhood, eat in any restaurant, use any restroom, etc.

I guess in comparison, handing out free food and providing social programs = 'getting mad shyt done' moreso than the Civil Rights Movement.​

It could be a mixture of the internet allowing people to do more of their own independent studies and them being more comfortable voicing what they already believed,

You speak as if I value any of those things. I disagree with integration and believe the civil rights movement lost its true cause somewhere along the way. Instead of fighting for human rights, the conversation shifted somewhere to fighting for comraderie with and acceptance from white society.

I'm more of a Malcolm X guy.

Most of the 'intellectually woke' cats believe even more outlandish nonsense than some dude getting swallowed by a fish for three days.​

Well, I'm done, then.

like what outlandish nonsense do these 'intellectually woke' cats believe?

 

[Reflected]

Yeah, I'm wondering because the most secular countries are doing better in every metric that matters for overall well-being vs. the least secular countries.

Also, atheists are pretty rare, so at this point I would need people to start defining terms.

 

[RareHunter]

Black folk would be better off if more of us were atheist

Wrong.
