More Black Americans turning to spirituality and African traditions

Oct 2024 01



Demographically, Black Americans are the most religious group in the country. Churches and mosques are at the center of political movements and a source for healing and justice. However, research shows a growing number of Black Americans are turning away from organized religion, and many are now embracing spirituality and African traditions. Yvette Wyatt is the owner of Motown Witch. She opened a shop with the same name on Detroit’s west side six years ago, selling items like candles and herbs that aid in metaphysical work and traditional African religion and spiritual practices. Wyatt said in the past two years, the business has skyrocketed.ioioio

    They always like to specifically call us African AMERICANS as if they are indigenous, and we know that to not be true! NO! WE WERE ALREADY HERE IN THIS COUNTRY AS THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE AND THEY CAME… The indigenous people were here and then came the so-called pilgrims/invaders which they represent. They won the battle and was able to rewrite and distort history or HIS-STORY. We were bullied and scammed out of our land, language, culture and history. Indigenous people are always MELANATED, you'll never find an indigenous pale person or people, facts! These people didn't and don't represent none of the indigenous nations they can be described as barbaric, liars, hypocrites, devils, evil ect. The history of what these Caucasians did and are still doing to the indigenous people are being covered up and hid as we speak. They stole the knowledge and many inventions from the indigenous people and claimed the knowledge for themselves and used it against us as if we learned from them Or was just allowed to partake in what they had going on, but that's vice versa! Just like the slave narrative… Slave comes from the word SLAV which are pale skin white people. Teach the truth to your children… Especially those who claim to be righteous or have the love and fear of God. You can't serve two masters… so let that sink in. We are not African and Native Americans ain't American Indians.look up the 1828 Webster's dictionary definition of American.

    As an ultra-orthodox practitioner of Seereer spirituality (A fat Roog), one of the African spiritual beliefs, I have never met any African tradition that describe their priestly class as "witches". That's a horrible name to refer to herself.

    As a Brazilian white girl that's grown in this religion, i see there's still a lot to learn on USA, but you guys can't understand how happy i am to see it growing, the imagines of the spiritual guides on the ladies's store made me giddy, we are finally recognizing who protects us!

    If anyone is curious, search for "brazilian african religion, candomblé or umbanda" you'll see more of this!

    🖤🖤🖤💜💜💜💙💙💙🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽 my comment was deleted multiple times on Christian posts Jesus let me tell you who needs saving yes its involving race 😀 let get to it.

    Do we serve the same God? Please explain❤️

    Jesus the poorest continent in this world is guess what you know many know and its documented on paper so you can see it you guess it Africa no surprise right. Nigeria has an estimated 24 million people homeless, DR Congo 5.3 Million, Ethiopia 2.6 Million Somalia 2.9 and etc. United Stated a total less than 700,000 people. Jesus where homeless issues are poverty and guess what Africa leads in that too go save them.Jesus not only that black people suffer from poverty in Africa and other countries but its prevalent in America too so save them.

    Jesus in America Heart diseases, Cancer, Diabetes, Covid 19, Liver Disease, Kidney Disease and Stroke are top ten Killers of the African Community regarding health. Please saved them as compared to White Americans Black Americans live a lot lesser. Jesus a study from 1999 to 2020 show that there was 1.6 million excess death to the black population in America that cost a total of 80 million years of black lives please save my people.

    Jesus homicide rates for the black population is genocide so please save them from that too.

    Jesus when it comes to transplants white Americans dominate in that too even though black Americans suffer from a lot of medical issues. Jesus there is an article out saying Navy Federal was denying black mortgage applications higher than any race disqualifying black families the opportunity to receive great education and safer places to stay. Jesus why is systemic racism still alive and why are ghettos associated with black people can you save them from that its 2024. Jesus why are HBCUS suing for millions of dollars due to funding that was not received as opposed to these well developed colleges such as Harvard, Yale, UGA, University of Kentucky and etc. Can you save them from that too.

    Jesus can you save many black Americans from the poor food selection in America that causing all of these health issues in the first place provide more knowledge from grade levels 5–12 and yearly training and mandatory health check ups. America is to powerful no too.

    Jesus I haven't touched on the Fortune 500 companies and which race hold the most fortune for their families historically. Holding the highest paying jobs such as doctors pilots and etc but we are the minorities that was kidnapped from our motherland during the slave trade.

    Jesus why is gentrification only associated with one race? Jesus save black Americans from home appraisals that are valued less than white Americans please. There are attorneys that are black who say they have to fight harder for black people in court when we are incarcerated the most in America.

    Jesus I haven't touched on slavery Jim Crow Laws lynching and etc…. why are we deemed the lesser race in America and the world period. ON PAPER IT SHOWS.

    Jesus save the black community from unlawful killings in America by Law enforcement.

    Jesus please save them I exp. a lot of racism in my 32 years of life in America and this system is not designed for Black to be in America.

    Jesus we have people like Mr. Beast going to Africa and other poor countries saving people please send more like him and I’m thankful for the missionaries that help as well. We need more Americans or a worldwide effort to help the degenerates of this world. Jesus I live in an affluent black neighborhood and worked hard so we too can beat the odds even though most was raised in a single person house hold and etc.

    There is no need for many of the things I mention above so save everybody especially the people of color.

    Thanks Jesus I can go on and on and on if heaven is real will it be like this because its 2024 and the next 10,20,30,40,50 years these issues will be a problem so please Jesus save them.

    I’m an agnostic but believe in a God people like Aries Spears, Iman Shumpert, Neil Degrasse, Dr. Umar Johnson and etc makes great conversation. Jeff Bezos, Mr. Beast, Warren Buffet and etc have a different belief as well.

    If I burn in hell for my sins Ill accept it because I’m dying a pathetic way now. Jesus save everybody mostly our black kings and queens of this earth.

    If Heaven is real it has to better than earth. Jesus the articles are on the internet but you know all but it’s boldly being documented too.

    Thanks it can be much more but black culture unlocked on YouTube and the last video shows the disparities Jesus but I know y'all see it 🙂 Happy fixing.

    Do we serve the same God? If so make it make sense it’s 2024

    So when do we stop calling ourselves blacks and instead call ourselves African Descent? We are not united as long as we refuse our Momma Africa identity and instead call ourselves a color given to us by our enemies who dont want us to know where who our people are.
