Black Folks fighting outside the CHURCH!

That disturbs me deeply. My father charged me to work in the church because of my gifts. Daddy believes Black folks should have returned to the church to unveil what is wrong with our souls after the Civil Rights Movement. Because Black People “own” their tragedy this has never happened. Christians have been accurately portrayed as lazy in study, profoundly disconnected from Earth consciousness, and far removed from introspective development of the spirit, and the consequences of their belief-systems in relationship to politics, war, serial killers, predators, etc. Even Black Magic workers talk of these things explaining, to me over the years, how easy it is to infiltrate churches to undermine.

I see the contradictions of belief in the scriptures about women and their roles. A lot of things are transparent here. Worse things have happened off camera between pastors and women. In Fort Washington Maryland a minister beat up his mistress and raped her last year in a parking lot. There is a list just in the Washington DC area. Some I cannot speak of because the ministers have taken counsel with me. This problem is our problem. There is a lot to address. There is a lot to unlearn from every angle. Being an African here or anywhere in the Diaspora Christianity, misogyny and white supremacy affects us all. Those of us who have left the Church are still affected. Non membership does not exclude any of us from the dialog or this work and the work is hard.
