Is voodoo real?

[Ya Sinning Mane]

Smh . Research it. both were profiting big time. Created cosmopolitan African cities. Once the slave trade ended, many of the cities fell a part... the white man rarely ventured into the land. They’d die as well due diseases and viruses in Africa

you believe anything u read or hear?
History is a lie and it’s at least 5k years missing we don’t know about .
Anything we have knowledge of is BS.

It’s documented bruh. I know we like to romanticize Africa but tribes would manufacture wars between each other to capture more slaves to sell to Europeans. You must’ve missed the slavery thread. “Should blacks of the diaspora have smoke for Africans and arabs too?”

This has to be the funniest unintentional thread on here.

Not quoting the other funny voodoo ones because they have potential for coming after you. Something about transference that this witch was telling me about back in college.

No. It's 2021. Time to dead this superstitious nonsense.

negged and reported

I know hes being all extra about it cause he's @The White Man, but it did actually happen. Though usually this is a point raised to deflect from the inhumanity of antebellum slavery. Of course, African slavery is a little more complex than that.

For instance, the slave trade in east and north East africa was done by "Africans", but these were mostly Arabs and half-Arabs that migrated and set up shop in East Africa. Ironically these were also thefirst "Africans" to let Europeans set up slave trading ports. They even had a little segregation set up that was active from mombasa to madagascar that favored these "Arab" Africans(and their c0ons) over the black ones. It was a big issue once the Euros left and gave places like Zanzibar independence.



Additionally, if you read many of the brittish and french field journals/ethnographies from 1700s and 1800s, what whites encountered when they got to the continent was that many parts of Africa had a system resembling indentured servitude, moreso than slavery. So its a bit deceptive to call it such. In many of these cases a "slave" would be garunteed freedom after xyz years and even receive land on the plot he previously tended to.

Dont get me wrong though, there was definitely what we'd call traditional slavery in central and north western Africa(which creeped more south as tribes like Arabized tribes like Hausa migrated). However, the severity and cruelty of this slavery was nothing like the American, Carribean, or Brazilian kind which turned the offspring of slaves into slaves themselves and often times worked these slaves to death, with goal of just replacing them like an object.




As an extra point, there were many many many many many black African ethnicities that fought and hated the practice of slavery. I know @Get These Nets , did an excellent post on this a while back, so he is a bit more qualified to talk on it than i am; so i dont think hed mind you asking him more about it.

Its real - there are people capable of stopping the rain - I have seen this with my own two eyes.

The spiritual realm is real. Voodoo is just a deceptive way for demons to gain access to your life. Demons will not let you know they are around you trying to disrupt.
Once you let them in they can cause damage. Anybody that doesn't practice it and follows God doesn't have anything to worry about.

You ever been to an african funeral ???

Yes, it is an accumulation of real tradition and belief practices from various African peoples.

But in regards to any supernatural things beyond that, no it is not real.

That’s exactly what those white slave owners beat into our ancestors breh. Learn your history with an open mind. What you just said is a literal white supremacy talking point.

They demonized all black religions and belief practices under “voodoo” terminology and forced Christianity among slaves in order to curb rebellions and collective unity. Religion was a huge part of rebellion, both encouraging it and preventing it.

Yeah I go all the time and twice on Sundays

 

[Diunx]

As real as any other religion.
