is vodun/voodoo the answer for black people?

[The Odum of Ala Igbo]

We're so fukking lost. I'm losing hope. We're believing the religion of our enslavers will free us

The one time we evoked our African ancestors, the Haitian Revolution began. I don't even know what to say

4 generations of educated hustlers is the answer.

You're embarrassing. Vodou freed the Haitian slaves! Christianity has only re-enforced the slavery of Black people in the Americas.

Nope. Fighting is what freed them. They were just strongly inspired by Vodun.

You don't know what happened in Bois Caiman in 1791. A pity.

 

[Dion Isus]

I'm very aware of what happened there. And again, they were inspired by Vodun, but what freed them was actually fighting. No one has ever been freed by spirituality alone.

It's worked for me. I should probably practice more astutely though.

What do you mean by practice more astutely?

 

[Neuromancer]

What do you mean by practice more astutely?

I don't have my altar up anymore because of space restraints. I used to take baths and carry ribbons. I had a few veve's up too. And my elegua head. I've been out of touch with it. And have been thinking of formally getting intiated. I know a babalow who is friends with my uncle. But I've been kinda skirting for various reasons.

You seen Haiti breh?

Well I personally recognize the difference between what the bible actually says, and "white man's christianity". Do you?

 

[Everythingg]

this "blacks are cursed" crap keeps ya'll under the thumb of white supremacy.

History says that loud and clear breh. Why else do you think the white man got to do blacks that bad? Is he smarter than the blacks? Stronger? If not, then what gives? My answer is more logical than yours, but lets see what you say.

 

[notPsychosiz]

Black people aren't special.
The answer for any oppressed people is to kill their oppressors.

We are fkd cause ppl wanna look past the obvious and end up trying all sorts of ridiculous mirace cures up to and including voodoo now.

Just pick up a rock.

 

[kevm3]

Jesus is the answer.
