Why Christianity? The Need To Expose....

In the blog concerning Christianity I understand that I failed to explain why Christianity was and is so dangerous to us as a community. Well, this is partly due to the way we were introduced to Christianity, and the affects it has on our community. I personally have a problem with the passive and meek Christ. It is this meek version of Christianity that I cannot and refuse to identify with. The whole turn to the other cheek approach, renders more harm than good to us as a people. Despite the varying views within our community, it is clear historically, that religion was used as a tool to enslave, and instill fear in the slave populace. The Bible was used as a tool to control slaves, and manipulate them into being subservient imps. The rewards for being a good obedient slaves was heaven in the afterlife. Yes, as Negroes we were the cursed descendants of Ham who viewed the nakedness of his father, Noah, and thus he was cursed to be the servant of servants. Our skin, according to biblical tradition and interpretation, is a badge of dishonor and shame. It would seem that white christian slave owners viewed themselves as doing us a favor by baptizing us, and allowing us to work off that curse. The sad thing about this whole ordeal is that we continue to act as this never happened under the banner of Christ. Christianity is exposed and dealt with explicitly in this blog because it is impossible for a group of people to succeed if they continue to view themselves as a cursed and rejected group of people. Every attempt has been made to de-Judasize if (that's a word) Christ. To take away any sign of his semitic roots, and portray him as a European. This is done in art and literature. Many African-Americans are now of the opinion that it doesn't matter what color he was, but in a defense of my position, I would say that it mattered to someone, because they went to great lengths to deface, erase, and silence those that felt otherwise. Again, we are witnessing the merger between Arianism and Christianity, and in order to sell this lie of white superiority, Christ (god's only begotten son, according to Christian theology another issue that is disputed, and will be explored) had to be portrayed as European. Of course, this doesn't matter to us, but when you look at the power of religious fervor combined with racial superiority you get what you have now--- uncontrollable acts of violence, aggression, and sadly, trauma on our end. So with that said, all the tools that were used to enslave us, and deny us our rightful inheritance as human beings, must be exposed and dealt with. Christianity being one of them. A persons theology should liberate them and change their outlook on life. Whenever religion is used as a tool to disenfranchise and oppress, then that religion cannot be, and should not be, a religion embraced by the oppressed. To me, this is insanity, and undermines any hopes of upliftment.
