It is religion (eg. One of the 10 levels of people activity in the system of GWS/Racism) that fuels the system.
Unfortunately, black Christians have not leveled up enough to know this little detail.
You couldn't be more right about this.
Black Christians believe we were taught Christianity to save our souls. But, as you no doubt already know, it was to make us more docile. It was to control us. And then at the same time, how many black churches have images of a white Jesus? The more we get into their religions the more we give up our own power. See, I'm not worried about the power that is taken away as much as the power that we give up. Because that's power we had control over. That's power that was simply a wasted opportunity. That's power that we cannot blame anyone else for. That's power that we're giving up only because of our own ignorance. You can be the most Ivy league educated negro and still give up over 10% of your income to white institutions that merely ask you for it. And because of that ignorance that money is given without even the knowledge that it is a national tax for a nation they don't even live in!
This isn't rhetoric or hyperbole. Literally everyone who is paying "tithes" to a church and not a government is being ROBBED. It is the craziest thing. The commandment says "Thou shalt not steal" but ironically none of these churches flinch at the fact that they are literally stealing from their congregations using tithes as a false pretense. Tithes, are indeed biblical. That's not the problem. The problem is that churches are not OT biblical. In the OT it was about Israel as a nation. The deception of Christianity is making people think that NT churches ("church" = congregation) took the place of a nation and somehow became entitled to receiving taxes.
So the machine that steals our money is powered by all of us who it has stolen from. We help perpetuate the system. In some ways we can stop. In others we can't. Like I said... I'm only worried about what I can control. There's no point in going on a hunger strike to fight a system that doesn't care if you die. There's no point in refusing to vote in a system that doesn't want you to vote anyway. But there are ways that we can fight back and if we simply educated ourselves and take back that 10% we could reinvest it into our own banks in our own community and empower those banks to grant more business loans to black-owned businesses. And then we can do our business with them and they (also important) can do business with other black-owned businesses and that's how you get your money circulating properly.
Now when it comes to the "white side" of Christianity...
