How are Black Christians "Passive" When They're Responsible for 95% of Black's Civil Rights

[Fox]

They ought to try some crusades or something... this systematic racism is kicking our ass all across the forest.

While you keyboard revolutionaries talk that the teachings of Christianity teaches Black People to be passive and accept status as 2nd class citizens.......meanwhile in Reality the Black Church literally mobilized and started the Civil Right Movement that got Black People equal rights in America

This seems pretty simple to me. Anyone want to logically argue against this?

Because black history isn't a VH1 reality show...

The black church may have been somewhat involved, but they did not put in work like the Black Panthers.

Also, those civil rights activists who worked with the church aren't necessarily indoctrinated with white jesus brainwashing, they're just working with programs trying to help black people.

And say what you want, that bible was brought to Africa for a reason. Trayvon's parents forgiving George Zimmerman is conditioning that comes from somewhere...use your fukkin brain.

And before the panthers were the deacons for defense. You can't really separate black liberation in the US from the black church. It's pretty much joined at the hip breh

One has to understand the Puritan philosophy that the white man subscribes to. Work hard, toil, suffer, pray to God and suffer for a long time and you will be rewarded. This is the first major American philosophy. The second is rugged independence. Pull one's self up by the bootstraps no matter the circumstance. Mind your own business and don't bother others. You do those things and you gain their admiration. You can't be passive to do either. If you're the violent radical, you can certainly do the first. This is why you see some American kids join the Taliban or Isis. That's in the DNA of Americans, because it is subliminally fed to us over and over. The second is where the violent radical can't win. So, IMO, it comes down to how those in power looking down on you, judge you to be. Those southern governors in the 50s and 60s saw the Civil Rights movement as a bunch of agitators. Rocking the boat. Bothering others. Not to mention blacks and a lot of northerners. This is the problem a lot of people are having with movements today. They think of them as agitators. Rocking the boat in society. The Fed saw them as following that Puritan ethic and realized that it was the government that was keeping them from living the second philosophy. The Christian aspect plays to the Puritan ethic. None of this is 'passive'. It just purposely plays into what those in power want to see. By rewarding that behavior we end up demonizing any other way of doing things, and we end up associated monetary success with hard work.

Do you think that black churches especially in the south should or should not have armed security to deter/prevent further attacks?

I actually agree with this part. One of the first actions of the provisional ira was to protect st Matthews church from being burned to the ground.

I will preface this by saying I grew up in the black church and identify as a christian. I have retreated from soem of the more formal "religious" aspects of Christianity and have come to a more spiritual understanding, basing my guiding principles on christian philosophy, which overlaps with most other religious sects.

The black church played a significant role in the black civil rights movement because it was the only place black people could gather in any large numbers without drawing suspicion. There were not many other places where hundreds of black people could gather and discuss issues openly. HBCU college campuses played a part, but could not fully reach the "every-man" 9-5er that is needed to make a movement progress.

Keep in mind, that many of the people that helped make the civil rights movement what it was were not Christians.
