Does anyone else thing that it's like total incongruity with Pan-Africanism and being consciously Black in the Diaspora to cling to Christianity as if it really gave us anything but a bunch of philosophy and a symbol of subservience to that old Great White Father? I'm not racist in saying "Great White Father" i'm just saying it historically. But does anyone else catch my drift? I've read Malidoma Some's book "Of Water and the Spirit" and with my small knowledge of the concepts of modern science, it seems like our old religions fit, at least philosophically with scientific truth. Maybe I'm hallucinating... I don't think so though... I'd like some responses because it's rather inconsistent for me to watch and listen the whiny faction of my elders whine about how the white man wants to beat us down, and praise Jesus. I'm not saying that Christianity is illegitimate but it's just like bending down in submission to history's wrath instead of recreating the Black lifestyles from stronger, African culture and philosophy, which serves us more and would serve us more for the simple reason that it's our own. We'd have more pride and the nigga out on the streetz wouldn't be so nihilist about their world. They'd feel as if they were part of a community, a collective body helping itself when no one else will take any moral responsibility as fellow humans to help. I could go on and on... but that's what this is for right?
