My father is a pastor and my mother is an ordained evangelist. They both teach the biblical myth that we are descended from Ham and that Noah cursed Ham's son Canaan and that's why we are at the bottom as a people. They also teach that the reason we were allowed to be slaves is because we are so arrogant. I wonder why Africans are the only people in the world who aren't allowed to be arrogant? Everybody else can have an ego except us.
But you can't get around Noah. If you are a Christian you have to believe in Noah. You can't believe in Jesus and not believe in Noah. I asked my parents if there was any evidence that God had honored Noah's curse. Without hesitation they said yes. If you believe someone put a curse on us all you have to do is look around at the condition we are in and that will be all the evidence you need. If you're looking for evidence to support the Bible then you won't see the real reason whites are on top which is because no one else in the world is wicked enough and vicious enough to do to them what they have done to everyone else.
For a time I had just dismissed Christianity as a harmless belief system that really didn't matter. But the more I think about it the less inclined I am to think so. Christianity is the most insidious and diabolical enemy we have as Black people. Here we are trying to teach Black people to love themselves and honor their heritage and there they are teaching Black people to despise their ancestors and shun their heritage. Not because they know anything about that heritage but because the Biblel says so. The white slave masters who stole us from our motherland and beat, lynched, raped and castrated this religion into us were happy to give authrity to a book that upholds the idea of our inferiority and condones our enslavement. They were even happier when they could get us not only to believe in but defend this book and this religion as the only thing we have to sustain us. But like the man said there is nothing a slave master will give you that is designed to set you free.
