      If you are sitting on that stage as anything but a BLACK AMERICAN speaking about how you THINK the Black Church represent our people, you're cosplaying and committing identity theft that Black Americans are not going for anymore. If you're Caribbean or African, your culture and how this topic represents you and your family dynamics is the ONLY experience you can speak too!

      It can be rude to assume another person's religious outlook. And sometimes a non-religious person is highly aware of the forceful nature of religion due to trauma.
      Despite claims that religion is peaceful, many places in the world suffer from religious dogma, and non-adherence resulting in corporal punishment. As an ex-Muslim, being told things like "Ramadaan kareem" reminds me of the fact that parents can beat their children for not fasting or being given a kiss on the cheeks after someone came from prayer reminds me of how I was beat up by my father for not making solaah because the Quran told my parents to do so. I saw many Muslim friends badly beat up by a father who took things too far. Mine did the same. Every religion has it's problems like this - and while most atheists have very rational reasons for exiting the religion, some remain scarred.
      Some atheists are passionate about a world where we don't assume that everyone simply thinks like us, a world where we're curious about the other person. Objectivity and individuality will always be squashed with a mindset where a religious person walks down the street, sees someone who looks like them and so feels camaraderie in their assumption that they're of the same faith.
      Religion is often psychologically damaging to many people - no doubt, it offers peace to many as well. But these are important discussions that are being sacrificed due to the skewed mindset on part of the religious person and prioritizing niceties on part of the atheist. If many atheists can show interest and respect for who the next person is and what their views are, then what stops them from showing the same for us?

    I'm an atheist but I'm completely with the amen woman. If she says "amen" to me, I don't have to take that personally. I know that's her thing and she's welcome to it. If I choose to go on a big mental sleigh ride about her saying that, she's not responsible for it. And there's something deeply illiberal about holding someone responsible for the offence or contortions they go through simply at hearing a word that was not meant negatively or even particularly religiously. You don't owe everyone perfect peace of mind at the expense of your freedom to say something that you don't mean seriously.

    “Being a black woman predates biblical figures.” No it doesn’t. He just contradicted himself because he literally said that the inception of “blackness” as an identity happened 400 years ago when we were piled together in ships, when identity and culture was stripped and we now we’re just one; black. Which leads me to believe that there was identity before our enslavement that transcended the color of our skin. As an African woman it’s so interesting how Americans idolize blackness. In one sense I get it, but thinking about how back home we don’t refer to each other as black, but instead our country of origin or tribe? This is a very American conversation for sure. I’d love to see African Christians versus African American atheists.

The existence of slavery amongst other cultures does not remove the fact that slavery occurred in American, and that experience was unique in comparison to the others. There are different forms of slavery or ”servitude,” even dating prior to the European invasion of Africa, which were not violent, inhumane, or racialized. And if you don’t think Caribbean and African countries are still feeling the impact of colonization, you are mistaken. Just last year African leaders came together and spoke about the historical injustices that are still impacting them…They are strategizing to regain control of their resources and position themselves to be more effective within and outside of their borders.

      Since religion is at the highest level do we call it "religion supremacy"? (In some places it's called law but I digress) No so why are u calling it "black supremacy" ?
      Secondly tyler said that phrase in the community context he doesn't mean that individually, he wants people(black people) to step up and do more for the community they're apart of so we can continue to set an example while building a legacy for generations to come. But to start that black people need to realize they are more than Christians.

      I did appreciate it, though he could have given a simpler explanation of why. It's simply the fact that her blackness is the first thing people will see when she walks into a room. It's human nature to label someone, and frankly, most people will label a black woman as loud and aggressive. They don't care if she gardens, paints, or sells houses. The only thing they see until she speaks is that she is a black woman.

You don't get to police other people's blackness based on what YOU believe "blackness" is. Like she said, she's just as black as he is, and no amount of rhetoric is going to change that.

Hence why mandisa and Darius were on the same accord as him. Please name one thing he said that was of a victim mindset. And you’re obviously just bitter about the historical truths he presented and are trying to demonish his argument bc he clearly said that he was a Christian during the time frame of his personal story. He said that was his first experience with micro aggressions within the religion, he never said that made him judge Christian’s and believe that black ppl were oppressed. And if you believe there’s no oppression in 2024 you have to painfully blind to everyday life. Have you never heard of Palestine? Congo? I mean Kanye west literally had his bank account shut down for his political views. Blacks are the only ppl who are told to forget their history yet we’re supposed to always remember everyone else’s.

      Real estate is a means to creating generational wealth and a study found that black ppl have to “un-black” their homes in order to get fair market value on their homes when selling them. It’s also been found that black women (regardless of socioeconomic status) are dying at alarming rates during childbirth simply because its believe they can take more pain than other races and/or are believed to be lying about their pain. Nurses spoke on how it’s in their RECENT textbooks!
