If someone got up, and preached in defense of the Hindu Caste System, or the Osu Caste System - many of us would rightfully, condemn them.

But when people like this man, use the Bible to "justify" a similar conclusion - many of us are gullible enough swallow it, hook line and sinker.

The "Curse of Ham" and other associated nonsense, was a clever by half, and thoroughly inelegant concoction to justify race-based slavery - a multibillion dollar industry, so that Christian slave-owners would feel fully "justified" in restricting slavery to only people of Black/African descent.

"If God consigned them to perpetual slavery, who am I to oppose the will of God"? Goes this line of thinking.

This is one of the reasons why;
1. White American Christians, brothers - fought each other, killing 500,000 - because they couldn't agree on whether "Black people were destined, from creation to be slaves or not".
2. White Evangelicals/Pentecostals were the segment of the US population most opposed de-segregation and civil rights - and the curse of Ham nonsense, was fully supported by Dake's Concordance - published in the 1960s. (Dr. Frederick K.C. Price went to town in the 1980s and 1990s, fighting this dangerous nonsense - from a theological point of view).

"Racial Reconciliation" was the zeitgeist in the Evangelical Movement in the 1990s. Today, it is being dismissed as "woke" - abandoned for more "anti-woke" positions like "the sin of empathy".

The rise of Trump/#MAGA has emboldened many, to show their true colours. America is, what America has always been.

Cruise as usual.

To some Nigerians, this is entertainment. But what is really happening here is the ruling class and their descendants protecting their interests through collaboration.

The Adelekes have more in common with the Wikes and the Tinubus than they could ever have with ordinary Nigerians.

Davido’s ranting on social media during the elections was never simply about you. You were being used as leverage in their internal power struggles. You were the pawns on their chessboard.

Now that they have made peace, they celebrate together while some of the same people they mobilised are left mourning and some disappointed.

The reality is that, they will always protect their interests.

You are their bargaining chips.

They are not enemies. When their interests clash, they will use you as bargaining chips against one another. When they reach an agreement, they will put their differences aside and move on.

Leaving you to mourn, feel disappointed and carry the consequences of their interest.

You are disposable when they no longer need you, and reusable when they need you again. And the worst part is that they are not even afraid to demonstrate this to your face. And you are too stupid to see it.

If there is anything you should learn from this, is that whatever power these families have is ultimately because you gave it to them. And you can decide to take that power away from them, by organising and showing solidarity with your class. Stop allowing yourself to be recruited into the personal and political battles of people whose interests are fundamentally different from yours.

Start by boycotting.

They are nothing without you.

But they are everything with your ignorance.

@Simply_Sayo Yes but if it lasts more than a few days, you should probably report to your GP 💕

@Joan_Ukeri Rats? Just know that you are also a “rat” to another person who is richer than you. Kai, love the empathy!

@SkinwithLolami I like to think of it this way: love is the willingess to sacrifice myself for you, and the promise to never ask me to.

I think your parents relationship really does determine your view of love and relationships.

@Jt23lfc @GumiPersistance @ojo_elijah1 @HCfootball01 are you saying only 2 players in the top 10 international football teams play for their African country? If so, that is definitely incorrect

Afro-Americans and Afro-Brazilians share their common culture of joy. If you were born in West Africa before smart phones era you sure know the origin of this.

If you think fertilized eggs are people but parents who've crossed the oceans with their kids aren't, stop pretending your concerns are religious.

You can’t imagine the mental health of this children who have been orphaned due to the ongoing genocide in Congo and are now living in camps. They are really suffering and need help. #Congoisbleeding

As celebrities paraded at the #MetGala, Israel was carpet bombing parts of Gaza and killing Palestinian children.

[Typical African @Joe__Bassey]

In Congo 🇨🇩 most children and mothers are suffering, everyone is just trying to survive each day after losing their parents and loved ones including their livelihood.

They now live in camps meanwhile many are being displaced in the forest and thick bushes. When it rains they find it hard to find proper shelter, seeing food is one awhile.

The people of Congo need help. The children are suffering. There is an ongoing Genocide in Congo 🇨🇩.
