A people's religion is directly connected to the problem that the people is reaching out to God for help. Consequentially, Black Americans must have their own religion since Black America's problems stems from being born a plantation slave and being a new race of people. There is no other people with this kind of problem in the world today or at any time in creation.
Black America's situation is unprecedented. The only situation that comes close to Black America's situation is Moses and the children of Israel; except that the children of Israel are not a new race of people made by Pharaoh, but Black Americans are a new race of people made by the White American old slave masters.
For instance, the religion Islam has everything to do with the problems of the Arabian people; they were pagans. The meaning of Islam is submission to God and not idols! The Jewish people's problem that Judaism was given to them by Prophet Abraham is out of paganism.
However, Black America's problems are not paganism. Black America's problem is that we want to be sovereign free in a country of our own with our own prophet, religion and spiritual book. We want to be in the position that White America is in and that is to being a double super power to lead the world in a different direction than White America has for the past thousands of years.
Christianity and Islam do not express our problems and therefore Christianity and Islam is a useless religion to Black Americans. Mind you, I did not say that Christianity and Islam is a bad religion. I said Christianity and Islam is a useless religion to Black Americans.
Christianity has never helped and could never help Black Americans mainly because a Black American prophet did not give Christianity to us the same as when Prophet Abraham gave Judaism to the Jews. Prophet Abraham and the Jews are the same race of people. Do you get my point now? Islam has never helped and could never help Black Americans since Black Americans and not a hundred people.
When it comes to God everything matters and therefore everything must be right and exact!
A Black American woman like Siebra Muhammad claiming the personal spiritual valuables of the already be in people is not being right and exact.
Likewise, a Black American man such as Bishop TD Jakes claiming the personal spiritual valuables of the Jewish/European gentiles claiming Jewish prophets Bishop TD Jakes is not being right and exact.
Black America's religion LIFE expresses our personal problems that we as a new race of people personally reaching out to God to help us just as the children of Israel did 4000 years ago. The meaning of LIFE is resurrection of a people born mentally dead since we are White America's slave people back then and we still are today until we are in our new country permanently.
Black America's salvation is in our religion LIFE! So yes, religion does matter!
