thats part of the colonial mentality. no matter what kind of bad is done, they are introducing the people to jesus and getting them into heaven so it balances it all out hahaha
....someone I had a talk with said that African-Americans should be thankful that slavery took place for the sheer fact that they have been exposed to Christianity and are not back in Africa worshiping some evil pagan witchcraft.Opinions?

Regarding this statement, complete nonsense, all Africans are either Christians or Muslims. Not because of the slave trade but because of centuries of colonialism (Christianity). So in my opinion, the statement that this someone made is not only fucking ignorant but also wrong. I'm so glad that you never come across such people in Germany.And AG: Nigger lady, seriously?
Isn't voodoo heavily influenced by christianity tho?
I always thought it was more of a blend from slaves not trying to give up their culture completely, which is a good thing. It gives Louisiana the unique culture that only exists in that part of the World.
