THEORY

If the majority of African American today no longer speak any dialect of the African language? Then everything learned by African Americans must be questioned.

Proof

How hard would it be to convert the language of a whole civilization? Speaking is something that is done everyday. We do it just as much as we breathe, but somehow we have no connection to this language, written or spoken.

Fact: Various religions, including Christianity have attempted to spread throughout Africa. Remember the Holy Crusades.

Fact: King James sanctioned the current version of the Christian Bible that is in wide use throughout America today.

Fact: Most African Americans can trace their roots to slaves.

Fact: Slaves were converted to Christianity to quell any uprisings, by being taught that the reason for their plight was found in the Bible. Remember descendants of Cain shall be servants of Abel. Also remember, The New Testament teaches nonviolence. Turn the other cheek. Love thy neighbor and thy enemy. Only Jesus can come back and save you will be condemned to the eternal fires of hell if you try and save yourself. America should have practiced what it preached.

Fact: Slaves, who learned to read, learned from the Bible.

Conclusion: How can you trust a society which snatched you from your land, robbed you of your language and beliefs (probably the hardest thing to rob you of), robbed you of any connection you have with your past, and taught you their ways. If they could drive out the ability for you to speak in your own language, how hard could it have been to drive out your religious beliefs?

Imagine a man beaten to within and inch of his very life and then told that it will all cease if you accept the Christian name I have given you. Accept the Christian teachings I teach. Forget you ways and convert to my ways or else the beatings will continue. I am sure some resisted and were killed. Others who witnessed these acts were probably more than happy to convert.

Just a theory.
