THIS TYPE OF THINKING IS DESTROYING THE BLACK COMMUNITY!

Summary

The article discusses the impact of White nationalism and the portrayal of a White Jesus on the Black community's self-perception and acceptance of White supremacy.

Abstract

The author of the article argues that the Black community has been subjected to a form of mental conditioning that upholds White supremacy by perpetuating the notion that "White is right." This is exemplified by the historical depiction of Jesus Christ as White, which the author suggests has a profound psychological effect on Black individuals, especially children. The image of a White Jesus is seen as reinforcing the idea that positions of power and authority are rightfully occupied by White individuals, leading to a subconscious acceptance of racial hierarchies. The article calls for the Black community to reject the image of a White Jesus and to "unlearn" these deeply ingrained beliefs that contradict the pursuit of Black empowerment.

H. Rap Brown

For four hundred year [America] taught you White nationalism and you left it up. You taught it to your children. You had your children thinking that everything Black was bad. Black cows don’t give good milk; Black hens don’t lay eggs. Black for funerals, white for weddings. You see, everything Black is bad. The only Black biblical character you knew was Judas. That’s white nationalism. Santa Claus, a White hockey who slide down a Black chimney and comes out White! — H. Rap Brown in Oakland of 1968.

First off, free H. Rap Brown. A historic Black Revolutionary born and raised in Baton Rouge, LA. Former Chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and member of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense.

Many, if not all of us, within the Black community have succumbed to a form of brainwashing and we don’t even realize it. One of the many ways to help maintain the status of White Supremacy is to get Black people to believe that the White man’s ice is colder. Since the days of slavery, all the way till now, White People have utilized every single tactic in their arsenal to program the minds of Black people that White is right and everything Black is automatically wack. This brings me to your “Lord and Savior” Jesus Christ.

The White Jesus Jedi Mind Trick

Take the image of White Jesus for example. This image alone has single handily destroyed so many minds of Black people for centuries, especially our children. When Black child sees a White Jesus at a young age, they have already been convinced that if God is White, then it’s okay for the boss to be White; it’s okay for the President to be White; it’s okay for the billionaires to be White; it’s okay for the judge to be White; it’s okay for the police to be White, because if God is White, and God made people in his image, then all White people must be of God. And if God is White, then by default the Devil must automatically be Black. So whenever you are at work and you see a Black man mean mugging the shit out of another Black man on the job for simply looking in his direction, meanwhile bucking his eyes, putting on a big smile for his White boss even though that White boss treats him like a two-dollar hoe, think about the Jesus theory.

Now I’m not sitting here telling people to stop being Christian, Methodist, Baptist, or whatever religion you subscribe to — I don’t care about that. But Black people, we need to stop worshiping a White Jesus. You cannot be an oppressed group of people, talking about Black power, yet at the same time giving Black children the deity of an enemy for worship. It’s a total contradiction.

Unlearn and Learn.
