The song is "Ain't That Good News," by Voices Incorporated from the album, Roots: An Anthology of Negro Music in America. The narrator says, "The Negros took also their masters' Christian religion," as though any slave had a choice in how they thought or felt or saw the world as manufactured slaves. I disagree with the narration of this album, because it suggest that Christianity was a logical choice for Black American slaves rather than a weapon of social control. Yet, at the same time, I appreciate Voices Incorporated for preserving this music if it turns out to be authentic. I urge Black American artists of all kinds to preserve their folk culture from a Black American perspective and for a Black American audience for the sake of posterity in libraries and museums. This album was made about Black Americans, but for non-Black Americans and interpreted from a non-Black American perspective. Migration was forced. Sex with genocidal devils were forced. The loss of African language, religion, and culture was forced. Christianity was not a choice; it was weapon to make Black American slaves docile when they should have been killing their masters in their sleep to gain their freedom. Like Africa, Black Americans outnumbered whites for a period of time during formal slavery. What kept them from killing their masters and running away? (1) The psychological trauma of the Middle Passage, (2) the "seasoning process" which involves physical assault, battery, torture, rape, and sexual assault, (3) forced Christianity that beat a false, white, Jewish god into the heads of Black American slaves, teaching them to worship the entire Eurasian white race as a secular extension of the Christian faith. Read Slave Testimonies of actual Black American slaves in slavery and Prejudice and Your Child by Kenneth Clark. Slave testimonies confirm that the more religious a slave master is, the more evil, violent, sinful, and genocidal that "god-fearing" slave master is. The book by Kenneth Clark confirms what Black American slaves witnessed firsthand: the more religious a person is, the more prejudiced he/she is. See the movie, The God Who Wasn't There, on YouTube. The messengers of the Christian faith to Africa and to the Black American slaves they had created knew their god is fictional, not a historical person with magical powers. Today's Black American Christian ministers know that Jesus is not a historical person. Yet, Black American Christian ministers lie to their Black American congregations and partner with the non-Black majority to perpetuate a slave mentality among every successive generation of Black Americans. Black Americans will not have the will to defend themselves against all forms of genocide by the multiracial racist majority if they do not walk away from Christianity. Black Americans may not have had a choice for the past 400 years, but you have access to the exchange of information on social media and resources in public libraries now. There are books at the library under subject headings or keywords, "Jesus Christ historicity." Ask yourselves if it is logical to worship the god of an evil people, who enslaved you. If the messengers of Christianity to Black American slaves were racist, violent, evil criminals, wouldn't their god be just as evil too? Black American street artists need to preserve their folk arts just like this album does but from a Black American perspective. A Black American cultural renaissance is necessary to redefine the Black American identity apart from what non-Black Americans manufactured them to be by separating the good cultural adaptations to slavery by Black Americans from the self-destructive cultural adaptations to slavery imposed upon Black Americans by a multicultural racist majority. Black American folk culture from slavery is important to forming a positive group identity. #blacks, #music, #history, #culture, #blackamericanhistorymonth, #blackamerica, #blackamerican, #blackamericans, #renaissance, #blackrenaissance, #blackamericanrenaissance. less
