This is an example of displacement:
Sometimes I grow homesick for heaven
And the glories I there shall behold;
What a joy that will be when my Savior I see
In that beautiful city of gold! —Anon
This technique of religious philosophy teaches its followers (eq. especially black people) to look to a future glory while over looking the possibility and probability of attaining glory right here and right now...displacement, YES!
This psychosis reminds me of other fairy tale axioms:
the rabbit and the carrot
the brass ring
...in other words reaching for the unreachable!
