Are "the Black man is god" ideologies a result of the historical oppression of Black people?

[UnQuantized]

Psychologist will tell you that oppressed people develop narcissistic and even sometimes psychopathic traits to compensateUncomfortable but if you study the history of civilizations and slavery, humans never seem to actually learn. In this ruthless world it's hard not to develop an identity based on superiority and eventually revenge. You can even see this with how the suffragette movement has evolved from the mid 19th century to what we are seeing with feminist today.

Fred Hampton's murder completely changed the Black Panthers and collectively the Civil Rights Movement. He was well on his way to uniting poor whites and poor latinos into our fight. The United States Government was not going to let that happen.

Black people have a unique situation in the US and are uniquely hated so trying to create an alliance with cacs and spicy cacs was self defeating and pointless.

Because poor cacs and latinos both want to be as powerful in cac society as possible. Not ally with people they despise who don't have any power.

As for the Black man is God business, the proponents of it don't even believe in it themselves. Because if they did they'd act like it.

A better ideology is recognizing that Black people are the original people on earth and are the best adapted for it because of melanin and proceed accordingly.


That means endogamy (having kids and marrying among your own), because why would you breed with and marry people who have to hide from the sun?

Economically supporting your own to the greatest degree possible.

Immigrate to other Black countries instead of advancing cac countries that don't want you there to begin with

Create monotheistic Black religions to counter cac and sand cac faiths. Because if whites have tricked you into worshipping a white person then they've already defeated you

No we are all part of source (god)

Good question, I'm not in debate mode today.
I think Noble Drew Ali, Fard and Elijah Muhammad made the term popular in America.

Anyway, every time God blesses me with some money he always sends along a pic of one of these guys .

What is God?

Shouldn't that be defined first

 

[Wiseborn]

I would say it's goofy to go to a church in a non white neighborhood and see a wierd depiction of Jesus on the wall but no one says nothing about that.

All this is belief based anyway scientifically speaking there's no God period.

I think there are members here who followed/studied NGE. I agree with, and the facts support what @cornercommission2k12 wrote . Studiers of NGE would have more details about the actual set of beliefs.

But it was in response to centuries of religious, social,scientific, media indoctrination about White superiority and Black inferiority. Reprogramming.

I've consistently said that religion is a tool, and it's up to the individual to determine how to use that tool.
European govts. and business interests have used religion as a tool for conquest, slavery, colonialism. They hijacked the book to serve their purposes, and attached doctrines, concepts, and interpretations to it that aren't really there. To the point where their version of Christianity is seen as the only version. The faith system predates Europe.

In 2023, person who adopts any faith system and who uses it for personal growth, development, and peace is making the best use of it. To become a better version of yourself.

So the thread starter rejects the teaching that the Blackman is god, fine. But his refutation is to assert that Black men and women are magic. This was not meant to be a serious conversation.

 

[doublejump]

Cradle of civilization and made in his image.

 

[Wig Twistin Season]

IF you’re religious and a Christian, Genesis 1:27 says…

With or without oppression, I’m sure some would’ve come to the same conclusion.

Not literal magic

This is all I'll say. I won't even google refutation. Posters like you need to keep The Root active. Instead of wasting time in TLR

 

[feelosofer]

It's a coping mechanism. To attach yourself to the divine is a way of detaching yourself from the woes of being Black on a daily basis.

 

[Secure Da Bag]

The Black man isn't god. No human is God. Black men and women are magic.

This is just saying the same thing.

We don't have to overcompensate for our dark history with false teachings to realize this

In short, we are more than they say we are; we are more than we think we are.

 

[cheek100]

Elijah birthed it and Clerance 13x furthered it and no the blackman is not god

 

[ThatTruth777]

You gotta read more about what life was like for black people back then and the ones who coined the phrase itself to get a basis of understanding
