A brief history on African religion in the U.S. and its commodification by Europeans.
Our ancestors were murdered for practicing our systems of healing and spiritual communion, and were labeled as devil worshippers because Europeans feared the power of those systems of active faith.
Africans had no concept of the devil the way it was forced upon us through European christianity. Fear of our families being broken apart, fear of our children, wives, and husbands being raped or castrated, fear of being punished to death for being ourselves- FEAR was the portal through which the devil, white Jesus, heaven, and hell came into our psyches and still affect us to this day.

👑 Songhai Empire vs Sahel States: Africa’s Past and Future?Are We Witnessing the Rebirth of the Songhai Empire? After my video about the Alliance of the Sahel States (AES) some people wrote in the comments that this Alliance may be a continuation or reunification of the Great West African empires, especially the Songhai empire, the last one of the big empires in West Africa.Let's check it out! Even though a comparison is difficult because of the huge historical and geopolitical contexts, it's fun to think about the differences and similarities between these two major constructs, one was an empire that survived over 180 years, the other is a union that just turned one.I'll do my best for this comparison 🤓00:00 Historical Context: The Songhai Empire
