What is blacks first religion?

[BmoreGorilla]

Arabs are a Eurasian group traced to the Middle East. Presumably when Islamic text mentions Arabs, it references the Eurasians for the middle East where the book was likely authored.

They still aren't a race. It's more so a way of life. It's almost like saying Hispanic is a race. The Middle East is a literal melting pot and didn't really start looking they way it does today until the Crusades which is another example of white folks doing what they do best and polluting the region

Doesn’t Islam mean, I self Lord and master?

That is the nation of Gods and Earths(5 %ers) definition

at people saying Islam or christianity, yall some dumb asses

Africa is fukking huge and not monolithic. And there were religions/beliefs before the Egyptian ones (which is only a small part of the continent).

The most likely answer would be some sort of nature/ancestor worship but don't take my workd for it

Funny how over time Islam has become the black man's religion and Christianity the white man's yet neither is true. They both originated from the same place. Why people continue to spew this nonsense is beyond me

Fact 1:
Some slaves taken over were Muslim but most were not. Highest proportion of African Americans are from Angola.Then Senegambia is next, I believe.

I thought the French took a lot of people from Benin, and a lot of my family is from Louisiana. I know tradition African religion is still heavily practiced there and Togo. Definitely going to visit when I move this year even tho I am planning on living in a different African country.

I was just wondering what is our first religion or did we even have one before Cac Christianity was forced upon the Slaves?

Someone enlighten a brother.

Wha? White people have even hijacked Christianity as their own, even though it had nothing to do with them.

If you have a Bible then read the Acts of the Apostles, 8:26-40

Here is a hint. It doesn't involve a Cac, but it is Christianity. It involves these folks:

The French actually brought quite a few of those slaves directly from Haiti. They fled to Louisiana due to the slave uprising in the Haitian Revolution.

ISLAM & NATIVE AFRICAN SYSTEMSIslam spread across to West Africa (by African traders such as the Fulani people) from as early as the 8 th century by African traders and was firmly established by the 11 th century. The peaceful non-obstructive course Islam took in West Africa was mainly because those propagating the faith were culturally and ethnically identical to those receiving it. Also the indigenous African had many features in common, such as animal immolation, communal pray, celebrating ancestors, circumcision, polygamy, dowry bride gifts, and the spirit or jinn world. The African spirit world of Bori and Zar was bridged to theIslamic world of jinns whom like African spirits could be friend or foe.

Such similarities between Islam and indigenous African religions facilitated a general peaceful conversion and religious tolerance in West Africa. Islam hence left African culture uniquely African and a traditionalAfrican Sufi Islam was formed over the centuries. This brand of Islam in time even reshaped Islamic culture in the lands beyond Africa.
Afrocentrism has never been able to answer the question; between Islam and Ancient KMT, and Ancient KMT and so-called native faiths, which had more in common? There is no escaping that Islam and Ancient Egypt had far more in common with each other than say the religions of Dahomey. Bias and unbalance are a form of corruption because it mask objectivity and kills alternative paradigms for processing information – regardless of who is doing it. When opinions are formed in an intellectual vacuum and not via a process of dialectics it can often mask obvious realities and solutions that are looking us in our face.

The French did take a lot of people from Benin, but they also got slaves from everywhere else as well. Most African-Americans are descended from slaves the British imported into modern-day America.

Islam...submission to the will of God

Islam derived from Judiasm and Christianity, kind of hard to claim it was the first religion of africans, especially western africans which most of the trans atlantic slave trade was based on, don't you think?

Nothing alleged about these clowns' ignorance.
Anyway, I'm currently on my ps4 waiting for fifa 16 to download, it would take way to long to type out a response to the bullshyt in this thread using ps4 keyboard.

Our first religion like all major religions was sun worship. Christianity, Islam, Judaism all that shat shyt is sun worship. Along with astrology and cosmogony. The average person thinks aboriginal groups were actually worshipping crocodiles amd shyt
