Yes and no. Some forced conversion on us because they thought it would make us passive, yet many of us embraced it and utilized it as a source of strength instead. I have a good idea of what I'm talking about. I've taken classes and done independent research on this subject. A lot of slaves used Christianity to challenge slavery.
How when they didn't understand the language? You mean cacs waited a generation to ASK them to convert? Prove it. I want to read your research material.

Surely he aint do all that loud talking and hard breathing without talking about some tangibles:respect:


Because that would make him almost as bad as the republicans trying to bait you with a highly respected ,yet ignorant as shyt football player. Difference being ,your leather,and football of choice is the bible. Not saying hes dumb like Herschell,because who could be?But he couldve preached about some policies while he was up there,and maybe he does in the full version.#BlackFreeAgency2028
Surely you didn’t actually listen to what he said cause he talked about policies he’d like to advocate for and said pretty much nothing about the bible or religion :ehh:

Did you read what the fukk I wrote? I said whites used religion as a tool to keep us passive. Blacks nevertheless turned around and used it for their own purposes. What's revisionist about this? This is common knowledge.

This is a brain dead question. Either way, I don't care enough about this conversation to waste my time digging through old notes to make a point. I got class and papers due. Take some initiative and do it yourself.

if we're keeping it a buck then both these guys vote how their party tells them.

Plus, I don't care about Walker's degree. I care about how he votes on policies

You're conflating the cause of the publishing of one bible to how/why Christianity was embraced by enslaved Africans. @Jorvan is correct that there are various reasons why slaves converted to Christianity. Yes some slaves were taught a defanged version of Christianity in hopes that it would make them more docile. Just like in the article you referenced, they removed the anti-slavery portions of the bible and pushed that version of Christianity to the slaves. Slaves from Congo were already Christians because the Kongo Kingdom converted to Christianity in the 1490s, which predates the slave trade.

If I remember correctly most of the conversion to Christianity of slaves came in 2-3 waves. Some of the first non-Congolese slaves converted to Catholicism because some of the stories of the saints reminded them of the orshas (probably not spelled right) in their native religion. This form of Catholicism that merges the ancient orsha stuff w/ Catholicism is still practiced by many Afro-Brazilians. The 2nd wave came during the 2nd great awaking in the early 1800s. This period is when most slaves started to convert to Christianity. The stories of Moses leading his people of freedom resonated with the slaves. This is also when some of the bigger slave revolts started happening. This was because slave preachers like Denmark Vessy and Nat Turner saw the bible as a liberating book and inspired them to seek freedom.

There's a lot that's left out that I can't remember. There's a ton of nuance that's missing about why it was the 2nd great awakening in particular that most slaves converted. I got to dig up those books to remember. It's been years since I took that history class. But the above is the gist of it.

Preachers, Obama and the shills couldn’t get it done against a legit retarded person :dead:

Do you know the history of GA, and the ultra-racist shyt they do? :stopitslime:

These "Christian" CACs will put a Herschel Walker in power before a black preacher because they think that all black southerners are slow-witted people that chase white p*ssy. You basically sound like a racist CAC with that.
