Please quit tryna distract us

African Americans are truly a lost race.
We lost our names, culture, religions, families, and lives and yet when we decide to get together to dig for what we lost, you ( angry caucasian ATS'ers) get bent outta shape and acted like we've started a race-war..

Oh I know....
Some folks with guilty subconscious (in their ancestry) noticed that african americans were chatting about something that could be both revealing and uplifting
so they come to 'disperse the crowd'
as usual
They feel that blacks need not discuss their history...EVER...
"Just be happy that you arenot enslaved and let's roll on..."
This is not for yall anyway, seriously.... you cannot relate and most importantly youo are trying to throw us off with silly, "You are being racists" comments.
Can we talk about our heritage, customs and history without yall feeling that we are being evil !!!!!!!!!!!!
DAMN....you all can't understand cuz you ain't supposed to!

I don't think you are alone. When I attempt to get back to 'my roots' it's really a mess. What's my root language? culture? religion? Am I Celt? partly. Am I Anglo? partly. Eastern European? I suspect so. American Indian? maybe, at least some relatives think so.
Lost leading the lost. The victor culture becomes default, along with language and religion. The 'superior' has a lot of artificiality about it.
I hope I'm not getting off topic, but I do think the underlying problems and questions are much broader than African/American. So many 'whites' are content to think of 'white' as a culture, or religion. It would help if every one questioned established assumptions a bit deeper.

Ok I kind of get what you are posting. But do tell me when did racism end? Did it end with the 1960s? 1970s? or 1980s?
My point is that which ever date that is picked it is around a generation or perhaps more. Given then oppression that happend during racism do you now believe that the table is now equal? If there is still major social inequality for a people that go back to the earliest days of the Republic how can this situation be resolved in the quickest possible timespan?
These are the big problems that exist.
Maybe the hamitic curse is true.

This, for me, is one of the most embarrassing elements of Black culture, our zealous embracement of the God of our kidnappers, murderers, slavemasters and oppressors.

I'm curious as to what the TS, or any atheist for that matter, has against the message of Christ.
Is it the 'love thy neighbor' part...or maybe the 'give to the poor' part?
Maybe it's the 'forgive your enemy', or 'judge not, lest ye be judged' part?
Oh i got it, it's the 'love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, and strength' part.......because it's too uncomfortable to live this short life thinking about having to be held accountable for our actions some day isn't it?
The truth hurts.

It seems insane, even sad to know that most blacks tend to embrace the 'white' Christ/God more than the white slave masters did themselves.
The thread is about blacks embracing Christianty as if it were our own. Not realizing that it is the religion that was tuaght by our WHITE oppresors who forced this religion down our throats...
Listen up
I know the depiction of Jesus in the bible is depicted as an african american
(even though we hang pics of the white blond haired blue-eyed one on the wall)
I know the true Jews were black
I know that Christianity is practiced in Africa today.
Yall are so off the topic and irrelevent to my topic tho!!
Lemme guess..... Most of my negative replies are....caucasian ATS members? I"m not being racist- never have and never will. But this topic, the ROOT of my topic does not even apply to you all...It may that you are feeling like I have stepped on your toes because of soem evilness of your race, but really this was a topic to mainly my fellow African American ATS'rs....
Egyptians are Africans....
White man paint the pictures of Egytians as light brown as they possibly can to try to refute that...they have even destroyed the African features on the stautes by the pyramids
They are the ones who showed us a picture of "white Jesus"...all these upset folks on here should know that an African did not draw that
When we were in Africa, we worshipped many gods; the real gods; the Sumerian (Anunnaki) gods....they did not have blonde hair, nor blue eyes...
They looked like US- BLACK. They were a race of tall beings, just as depicted in the egyptian heirogyphics with strong features
Some folks with guilty subconscious (in their ancestry) noticed that african americans were chatting about something that could be both revealing and uplifting
so they come to 'disperse the crowd'
as usual
