Parable of the Religious Haters
There are haters in the hood. They hate you because they hate themselves, so their hatred of you is self hatred. Their actions to blockyou at every turn should be called hate crimes, including most of the homicidesby black on black persons, but only when a black kills a white is it declared ahate crime, so the killing of one black by another is nothing, of noconsequence, as we see in the freedom of the man who killed Malcolm X, one ofour greatest revolutionary heroes, but blacks quietly accept his release fromprison because most of them hated Malcolm X as much as the white man, simplybecause they were taught to hate self and kind.
Much of the hatred in America and the hood is religious based. If one is not a certain kind of Christian, one is hated. If you are awhite Christian, there are perks for you, even in heaven. You know there willbe a white God, Jesus or whatever awaiting your entry to the pearly gates.Peter will allow you inside on the basis of your white face and white angelswill be waiting on you hand and foot.
If you are black, do not think of going to white heaven, even though you are a Christian who said the sinner’s prayer, accepted thegrace of Jesus Christ, yet you are black, so you are damned to hell, sorry! Youcan say you are a Christian but you can still be lynched, assassinated orwhatever. Sorry!
If we could figure out a way to make you part of the white Christian family, we might be able to save you.
Bill Moyers asked liberation theologist Dr. James Cone how can blacks still believe in God, how can they still love God after our sojournin America? Rev. Cone answered, “The question is not how we can love God, buthow can we love you!”
Of course, 11am Sunday morning is still the most segregated hour in America.Clearly, there are two differing mythologies on heaven, a black one and a whiteone. To believe otherwise is to believe in the tooth fairy, to believe all thewhite racist science and knowledge taught in the schools, universities and collegesacross this land, information that has put many blacks, along with whites, inmental institutions and therapy for the remainder of their lives.
But black Christians are full of hatred as well. Even though they understand very little about the racist King James version of the HolyBible, they are willing to kill over it, especially if you are not a member oftheir church or sect, cult, storefront temple with ten members all familyrelated!
Let us move from beating up Christians to those holier than thou Muslims who claim Muhammad of Arabia as their prophet, and no prophetsafter him, even though Chiekh Anta Diop, Dr. Ben, Drusillia Houston, J.A.Rogers and others have debunked this mythology. But the Negro Muslims are moreArab than Arabs in their addiction to racist Arab mythology that claimsMuhammad as the founder of Islam, while he merely transferred ancient Africanteachings down to the present era, knowledge he had gleaned from the Africans,Jew, Christians and most importantly, the aboriginal Arabians!
It is a historical fact that the fundamental ideals of Islam were in Arabia a thousand years before Muhammad, especially when African andArabia were one and the same, culturally (including linguistically),politically, economically, from the Nile to the Persian Gulf, from Saba toJerusalem.
The Canaanites and Egyptians were brothers long before Abraham wandered into Jerusalemto give birth to the Hebrews and later the Arabs through their black motherHajar, the Egyptian maid of Sarah, Abraham’s wife!
Thus the three great Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) are African, as Dr. Ben taught us so many long years ago. I heardhim lecture in Harlem when I came there underground as a draft resister to thewar in Vietnam,1968!
Long live Dr. Ben. Isn’t it ironic that after his attacks on Islam, mainly its racism and role in the slave trade, he could find no “blackinstitutions, “including Harlem’s Schomberg Library and the numerous Negrocolleges and universities to donate his 25,000 volume library, so he gave it tothe Nation of Islam.
Muslims are supposedly those who submit to the One God, Allah. There is aninteresting section of notes in the Yusef Ali translation of the Holy Qur’anentitled Egyptian Religion and its steps toward Islam. This chronology tracesthe rebellion of Akhenaton and his concept of the One God, including thereactionary behavior of the Amen priests who attempted to erase all evidence ofhis regime from Egyptian history, thankfully we are still blessed with his hymnto the Sun, one of the earliest adorations to the One God or monotheism.
His hymn to the Sun presents an aboriginal declaration to so-called monotheism, yet thousands ofyears before Islam, Judaism and Christianity—not actually monotheism but Trinitarianbelief, established in the Council of Nicia, 332 A.D.
This only indicates man was created Muslim, one in submission to the Oneness of Creation. Did primitive man make a Shahada? No, hehad enough common sense (that is not too common these days) that man lives insubmission to the Supreme Being, that man is in God and God is in man!
Man is in the Sun, Moon and Stars, and the Sun, Moon and Stars are within man. Man is in the oceans, rivers, lakes, mountains, trees,fish, cows, horses, bees, ants, horses, fly, snakes and all that is vital andreal with the energy of Creation.
Religion, whether Christian, Islamic, Tradition African, Jewish, Rasta, is a feeble attempt to arrive at simple Spirituality, that weare in God and God is in us!
Religion is a simple minded attempt to configure a sacred tradition for those believers so the priest craft can wield power over theignorant believers, making them willing to kill to maintain a tradition ofwretched ignorance and dogmatic religiosity.
It is a selfish maneuver of the powerful to enslave the less powerful. It will not wash in the present era of pervasive information. Thepriests/preachers/ministers/imams in all religions have been revealed as fakes,frauds and charlatans of the most servile kind, not to mention their sexualexcesses that are an abomination before the Lord!
Of course they reject the Shaman who reveals all to those willing to hear all, willing to stand naked in the hall of truth before the god of all truth, who is willing to havehis turn on the scale of balance between the feather and the lie! Somebody sayAche! Somebody say hallelujah! Somebody say Amen and Amin!
Negroes in their sick desire to latch onto anything given to them by teachers other than their own kind such as Elijah Muhammad, Noble DrewAli and others, will kiss and suck theArab Muslim theology hook, line and sinker, becoming more Arab than the Arab,claiming they are Sunni Muslims while the Sunni Muslim hate their asses with apassion only equaled by white American racist Christians. One o’clock Friday isthe most racist hour in Islam, just as 11am Sunday is the most racist hour inChristianity!
Despite the fact that all Islamic nations have their own traditions, on saints, savior, Mahdis, Messiahs, prophets, holy cities,shrines, the Negro is too drunk with Arab myth/ritual to even consider AfricanIslamic tradition, too stupid to understand African Sufi Islam, such as thetradition of the holy city of Tuba in Senegal and the holy warrior Bamba whofought French colonialism.
But the Negro American Muslim, especially those Sunni Negroes, will kiss SaudiArabia into the sunset, exchanging Jesus foranother Arab named Muhammad, while Muhammad acknowledged his supreme debt tothe African Bilal Ibn Rahab, the first convert to Islam and the Muezzin.Muhammad said he heard Bilal's footsteps ahead of his in paradise. SeemsNegroes should praise Bilal as their prophet.
But no, Negro Muslims are too sick with Arabism to give praise to Bilal. Warithdin tried until his Saudi Arabian benefactors checkedhim with their pocketbook! For a moment Wartithdin called his followersBilalian, but this was too Afrocentric for the Arab racists, who at this momentcould free Palestineexcept for their sycophantic, symbiotic relationship with Zionism and Americanimperialism. Thus oil politics delays the liberation of Palestine.
They will allow the Palestinians to live in squalor another hundred years rather than liberate them with their oil power, for to do sowould ignite the Arab masses existing in worse conditions than the Palestinianswithin the quisling Arab regimes.
We support Hamas and Hezbollah because they have demonstrated their sincere desire to free themselves by any means necessary. IfShia Iran supports themrather than the quisling Sunni governments in Egypt,Jordan, Sudan, and the Persian Gulfregimes, too bad.
I'd rather be a Shia than a punk ass Sunni claiming to represent prophet Muhammad when we know the prophet liberated oppressivepeoples, he didn't collaborate with oppressor regimes. There is no excuse forover a billion Muslims claiming belief in Allah to allow a few million ZionistsJews and their American benefactors tooppress their brothers and sisters in occupied Palestine. Muslims have no right to sleep untilPalestine isliberated!

I can relate the Christian thing well due to living in the Deep South and actually being crazy enough to try Christianity for a few weeks when my husband first got sick. The churches are so bait and switch! First, the people say they love you as you are. Suddenly, the assault of right-wing politics is thrown at the newcomer because - after all - Christians are for family values and patriotism. I find those to be two of the biggest sicknesses that allow religion to flourish in a country where htere is to be separation of Church and State.
Family values...what a laugh. More than a few of those well-dressed white women would look down on the west side of Montgomery where there isa lot of poverty and children without fathers yet these same women claim their own bastard baby was OK to be born because they chose "life" over abortion. It is different if they are on assistance. Divorce? Many at that church had been married more than I have, which is four times!
Back in the mid-90's, an older Sista got on my ass in a store over my tattoos. I did not know this woman except to see her in the store from time to time. She had the nerve to ask why I had tattoos. I told her I liked them and did not go on as I owed her no answers about my life. This brainwashed Sista went on how she is a Pastor's wife and how tattoos are banned in the Bible. When I told her that I do not believe the Bible, she really got into a tear. I had to laugh and walk away.
Here in Montgomery at a local Christian bookstore when I went in to buy some books, I noticed a lot of Afrikan-Americans only buying the King James Bible. And...many Sisters and Brothers told me how that is the ONLY Bible. Like you wrote, many do not even understand how racist that Bible is...
Islam...well, I was a very nominal practitioner for about a year. I had an Arab Muslim boyfriend. All I can say about that experience is, "Ugh." The man said there was no racism in Islam but then would talk about Blacks, HIspanics, and loose American women as he would label "prostitutes" and "bitches" out the other side of his mouth.
