Black folks...Why do we have a bunch of reverends representing us?

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

Whats funny is that religion in the black community is useful for two things:

1. Community

2. Groups of people.

OTHER THAN THAT...religion can go fukk itself.

it's a hold over from when the only intellectuals in the black community where in the church. if you think about it, during slavery, that would be the only black place that combined education and philosophy. i would say that in the 21st century, we will not have anymore "leaders" for all blacks, just leaders for groups of blacks. we now have orthodox religion, left wing academics, and afrocentric mystics all competing for some piece of the black leadership pie. the orthodox religious types get play on tv because that is all the white media establishment knows. they have the deepest roots into mainstream politics, so they matter most now. in the future, the academics will rise a little more, and the afrocentric mystics will probably always be a fringe group.

Yep. thats why I respect Dubois so much. Dude was one of the first open black atheists.

Yeah, it's really troubling, I've always just taken it for what it is. Religion is a destructive force used to keep people down and passive. Hopefully we advance as a people moving forwards. Personally I'd rather see more liquor stores than churches in the hood.

STOP IT. MLK was very religious.

this c00n. I don't fukk pawgs for one, thats your thing and you're a fool if you think they are allowing you to do so and all those that are due credit are dead. I find it funny the only time you come defend black people you still manage to c00n in the process, I find it hard to believe you are even black tbh. They are no longer needed in the advancement of society or the appraisal of black people. We need scientist, educated politicians, bankers and economist...not worthless preachers, bishops and reverends. Its like building weapons from stone while the rest of the world is using steel and plutonium...

So fukk you, your pawgs and your sky daddy c00n ass nikka. Or shall i say CAC

you have a scientist thats on TV alot. Neil deGrasse Tyson is an astrophysicist and science communicator.

you have melissa perry harris, who says she's black(i know she's bi-racial) “I’ve never thought of myself as biracial,” Harris-Perry says. “I’m black
credentials: Wake Forest University (B.A.) Duke University (Ph.D.)

Cornel West, Education: Princeton University , Harvard University

and there are a few others.

here's the thing. THEY(the media not ran by black people) will have to ALLOW TV time, radio time for other people outside of ministers. best believe there are black business folks, scientist, well educated folk trying to lead the charge. doesnt matter if the WHITE MAN doesnt want those people to be the figure heads of the black community at large(aka on TV on the RADIO). we dont own the airwaves so it is what it is.

just got done talkin to the girl and she made me come post on this... i left this thread up from last night when i was working. this is what she said:

"you know you left this one page up about reverends representing black ppl and there was all these ppl posting their comments. it was very intriguing and i read 4 or 5 comments and i really wanted to respond. who are these ppl who have their little icons and fake names? i think they had something important to say. why don't they post their picture, name and address?"


which comment intrigued you?

"there was this comment about they should just kill or let the older ppl die. how does someone post something like that? don't they know the black community is where it is because of them. they might not aggree with barack but barack is president because of the older generation. look at the younger generation who think are atheist. they all kill each other. i should have made my comment cause they got me all riled up! and i would post my name and address and tell them to come get me. lol. let them know this blonde girl has something important to say."



"i wonder who you were in that page."

i was there. i'm surprised you couldn't tell. maybe just not in the page you read.

Why the fukk do people in this thread still keep talking about the need for "leaders" is another good question. Do other races have leaders?

This isn't 1964. fukk a leader. People need to be autonomous leaders of their own lives, families, and communities.

Thank u. I've always hated the idea of having to be "lead"...that why I consider myself a "sigma" male...idk, I just don't like the idea of being controlled....
