Thats why I don't understand brehs knocking the black church. In its prime (1870-1970) it was a beneficial source of standards, shaming, condemnation and promoting fatherhood/motherhood and families. We are now a poor man's matriarchy in complete shambles because we left it.
The church is not what it used to be
Plus if you do go to church
If you question any of the Bible/Teachings
You become an instant leper
Then you have to factor in
Many of these preachers ain’t shyt
And only worry about the bag
Doing all kinds of scumbag shyt
To their congregations
Personally
I grew up in the church
And I get what you are saying
But once I became of age
And started realizing shyt
And I know it’s not all church’s
And I still believe
There are some good ones out there
I’ve even tried to start going again
But I can’t help but to see through
Some of the shenanigans
And a lot of single black women(church going women period)
Wear that shyt as a badge of honor
Only to do fukk shyt from Monday-Saturday
And get act right by Sunday
Then get sanctimonious when you disagree
With certain tenants and clear hypocrisy
That they are living
