Its practiced under the guise of Christianity in both America and over here in the UK. The europeans beat, blugeoned and raped us into their christianity but we or certain nations simplyattached variousAfrican gods and godesses tochristianangels as they have the same function and carried on practicing as ''christians''. Its also popular in places like Mexicoand other South American countries where you'dassume the people were devout christians butare simply veiling their real religion behind it to avoid suspision.
Your typical Blackall hype and funk church (Pentacostal?) where people dance and sway until they're possesed by the holy ghost... Flapping on the floor like fish calling for Jesus?
Voodoo.
Its exactly the same thing as is practicedall over the continent, south america and the carib drums beating calling onthis and that godflapping on the floor like a fish etc etc but Christianised.
The only diffrence is that the Christiansthink they're diffrent.
Takes more than a few whip lashings, lynchingsand torture to break a peoples religious beliefs. The Bantu/Zulu for example are selfless in that they belive that they are their ancestors, that their ancestors speak through them at any given time. Can't beat a 5000+ practice out of a people that belive in something as strong as that.
The South American Capueira comes from the same place Breakdancing did and is an African martial art. This is one of my theories but I swear it relates to Yoga, diffrent positions and all that.

Out of curiosity what is your native language? No disrespect but I dont think you realize the true magnitude of what our ancestors been through as far as the horrendous torture and inhumane acts that our people have experienced from slavery. Because you wouldnt have made a statement regarding a few whippings and lynchings. These were your people too!!! I'm assuming your black and if so, those were your people too that were kidnapped and beaten and killed. As devided as we have been a black family, I think its time to get in touch and find out who our ancestors were. Who knows...we could be relatives. I often do think where in Africa did my people come from. And what language did they speak and what different resemblences that we have. Alot of people here in the US unfortunately dont think about the larger family tree. I guess that was the devils doing of confusing us as a people as he is doing to us today where a traditional family household is on its way to distinction.
