Also:
Of course there is always something particularly depressing and disturbing about any African American clinging to Christianity, when Christianity was in fact the tool of the slavemaster, the religion that justified the enslavement and subjugation of African Americans, the religion that justified Jim Crow and segregation, the religion that continues to keep Americans of all color ignorant and uninformed, at once frightened and beseeching of a God that does not exist.
...Seriously?
The fuck of it is, technically...they aren't really wrong. Christianity has been used as an excuse for slavery, for what amounts to the butchering of a multitude of native tribes (not just Native Americans, but multiple Germanic tribes, African tribes, the list goes on) as well as being a common fallback position for those in power to keep right on going with their fuckery. The Christian theology outright demands conversion, either by proselytizing or by death and/or forced subjugation. Though, a lot of this is due to the rather violent nature of Yahweh, who basically started out as Jewish Ares.
