You dropping some knowledge in here!
Expound…who do you think wrote those texts/scripture, and why…
Keep going…
You’re welcome.
Most of our ancestors practiced ATRs like Vodun, Yoruba and Abosom etc before enslavement.
A segment were Muslim, because by then Islam was already imposed on them in Africa during the Arab slavetrade. This went by way of economic blackmail since Muslims wouldn’t do business with non-Muslims and war. Islam was never accepted peacefully, it was the driving force behind the Arab slavetrade. So that segment that were Muslim were so because of those reasons.
Christianity was imposed on our ancestors during the Trans-Atlantic slavetrade as a tool to keep them obedient and mentally enslaved, because ATRs were keeping the enslaved rebellious and was therefor forbidden and heavily punished to eradicate them.
It’s a hard truth for some, but it’s a needed truth to know and acknowledge to move forward as a people.
Most of our ancestors practices ATRs.
It’s one of if not THEE most important things we can look at that shows no matter where our ancestors were, the African Spiritual systems is what we all had in common.
This is why when you look at the Black Diaspora in the Americas, you will find leftovers from those ATRs that were originally practiced all over West-Africa still bein compatible with the ones in the Americas
(Santeria, Cuba vs Yoruba, Nigeria comparison using ATRs)
The red thread in the Black Diaspora are the African spiritual systems.
African-American, Afro-Caribbean and Afro-Latino people all created their own versions of African Spiritual Systems.
Hoodoo in America, Vodou in Haiti, Winti in Suriname, Candomble in Brazil, Santeria in Cuba, Obeah in Jamaica etc are all manifestations of those ATRs that the ancestors tried to save under slavery.
These Diasporic ATRs all (except one) went through syncretism to survive, because Christianity was the driving force behind the enslavers during the trans-Atlantic slave.
That one ATR exception in the Diaspora that never syncretized with Christianity during slavery is Winti in Suriname.
It’s interesting because this whole controversy with the Little Mermaid bein Black is silly when Mermaids have been all over the Diaspora in the ATRs.
Again, just look at the African Spiritual Systems in the Diaspora and they all have names for it.
In Mainland Africa she’s called Yemoja and Mami Wata
(Ghana, Nigeria, Angola, Ivory Coast, Togo, Benin Etc)
18:15 - 19:30 (Timestamped)
In the Americas she’s called.
Yemanja in Brazil
La Sirène in Haiti
Watra Mama in Suriname
River Mumma in Jamaica
Mama D’Leau in Trinidad
The Trans-Atlantic slave trade and Arab slave trade were so destructive and effective, because they forced those enslaved to get rid of whole spiritual systems with cosmologies, concepts and nature-based lifestyles attached to them for their own Abrahamic faith.
That’s why the marketing about ATRs in the Black Diaspora have always been so heavy on the anti-Blackness calling it demonic and devilish. This is all on purpose to keep our people spiritually under their systems control, as far as possible from our ancestors own African Spiritual systems.
Why when you look at the ATRs in the Black Diaspora is it that they wanted to eradicate those systems under slavery specifically, but were so adamant about converting our ancestors to Christianity and Islam?
Why did the Ancestors go through such lengths to save the ATRs and create the Diasporic ATRs to save what they had, under such severe attempts of the enslavers to eradicate them? Those are the deeper questions.
I didn’t wanna derail the thread, but since you asked me to expound
