This is like, a really patronizing comment? As if black people cannot form their own beliefs, the only way a black person could be christian is if “master” told them to.
I mean, isn’t that how a lot of Christianity came to the black community?
Every tragedy has an origin story. A lot of Slave owners felt it was their moral duty to civilize their property by teaching them Christianity. The tragedy is the death of whichever West African religion was stolen from them along with their freedom and agency.
