I like the movie as well but Christianity was painted in a certain light. For example, my impression (and I could be mistaken) is that movie didn't portray the origin of most of the Black musical genres as coming from the black church tradition. It felt more like the church, Gospel music was more irrelevant in Coogler's worldview.
No most of the musical genre came from Field Songs.....

The black church was not instrumental in birthing black musical forms.

It was slavery

I haven't seen the movie, but I don't get his argument.

He claims that Black people were Christians before European colonization, but for the most part that's not really true. Lecrae mentions Ethiopia, but most Black people in the world are not of Ethiopian descent.

Most Black people in the Americas are of West and Central African descent, and Christianity was most definitely used as a form of oppression against us.

"In the late 15th century, Portuguese traders and missionaries began arriving in West Africa, first in Guinea, Mauritania, the Gambia, Ghana, and Sierra Leone, then Nigeria and later in the Kingdom of Kongo, where they would find success in converting prominent local leaders to Catholicism."

Google Maps link: Elmina Castle, Ghana where enslaved Africans were kept under it’s Christian Church to be sold to the Americas

Black Christians will still play blind to these historical facts and evidence about our own history and do Olympic level mental gymnastics to cope, instead of acknowledging what they can see with their own eyes and actually PHYSICALLY touch with their own hands and feet today.

Ignoring the historical truths of our history like Massa wants

Just like we descent from Central and West Africa,
but they’ll point to Ethiopia which is located in East Africa,
to insinuate that Christianity ain’t inherently colonial.

Like it wasn’t brought there to Ethiopia by a
non-Black Phoenician Christian missionary from Lebanon..

If anything, the African Ancestral traditions the Ancestors preserved bein Anti-Christian is an amazing thing.

Imagine tapdancing for Massa’s Christianity:scust:

Well he also address that this isn't a European religion in origin aka the white man religion. It's middle eastern in origin.

Cacs and coins will be like "star wars is anti Christian!"

Really a movie about monsters, robots, aliens, people with powers, supernatural beings don't feed into your own fairytale belief?
