Have black people benefitted from religions? Formerly Christian
-
- Religion
The answer is no. We are "stuck" in our oppressors' religions from Islam to Christianity. As black people, the historical information that would allow us to
completely free ourselves from the "white savior" grip has been with-held. As a result, we have been worshipping God through the lens of Europeans. There
are still black people who hold images of a white jesus as they pray. This is abnormal behavior. This is the psychological aftermath of being marginalized for so long that even the ways we worship are related more to Europe's conclusions.
