Just because someone gets asense of hope from somethings neccesarily doesn't make it productive. Christianity has pacified more Blacks than it has invigorated.
Everybody and their brother has had a hand in keeping the black man down. Most of the hard core capitalists don't even worship.
Who is everybody? Besides Arab slavers and europeans the list of cats that opressed us pretty short, it's not like we don't know who did us in! Most hardcore capitialists were Christians not in faith but in rhetoric, and these were the heards who taught the religion so it will always be flawed it was used to pacify us rationalize servitude and inferiority. The came in the name of the queen and the Cross!
>Which has also been the source of inspiration for black folks since we got here. Personally I'm not a Christian, but I do recognize that it is a strong force in some people's lives. When times have gotten tough, folks have gotten through it with God. (The white Jesus on the my grandmothers' wall. In competes with my pop's Haile Selassie.)
You can't see WE WOULDN'T FUCKIN' NEED IT IF HAD'NT been USED TO OPPRESS IN THE BEGINNING, look man we were prostituted, in prostitution the pimp sells a false sense of hope,so the HO will always think in the end it will be okay thaT IS WHAT Christianity is a false sense of hope, It got us waiting for the next life while the snatch this one...
They needed something to settle it in their minds. But christianity is a pretense, not the reason for. The hardcore puritans didn't have slaves.
Look kid before they even did anything they set up missionaries...
The hardcore puritans were Genocide thirsty hate-mongers...Ask any Brit...
