First of all, the reason upliftment of Black People is necessary is beacause of Christian Capitalists, who robbed you of everything under the sun a few centuries ago. To cling to the weapons of your own demise is a sado-masochist platform. No-disrespect to any one's faith but if you read clearly you would see my beef with Western Christanity (the Christanity that has been used as a vehicle of domination since its inception at the Nicene Council) , it has historically been a weapon of pacificism since the Nicene Creed. Unless you practice a eastern orthodox or East African version of Christianity you are disciple of the Constantine Sects which are responsible for some of most heinous acts in history of world. Slavery, Inquisitions, Witch Hunts, all types of other barbarity. Remember Christanity was used to rationalize slavery, the curse of Ham, this same curse was used on the serfs in europe hundreds of years before The Slavery Epoch. How canb you subscribe to the same ideology that GW Bush, Alan Keys, Pat Robertson also claim? Think about it1 Anything that is truly spiritual they would have no part of...
Finally what is this about the upliftment of Black people, How about the upliftment of all people that is only way it will work. When all the people of the world are enlightened, you supposed to Christain (i'm assuming cuz of your rsponse but you separate god's people in groups, it makes sense the White folks who taught you that mythology did the same...) What about the Native Americans allover this hemisphere getting shitten on from Texas to Chile', what about the poor whites in Appalacia, what about all the other oppressed people, down they need upliftment too? What's the need for upliftment when the Earth is infested with savagery?

I understand why you are upset you practice Western Christianity, Capitalism, Racialism.... I'm sorry for disrespecting your time honored faiths....
