I have not taken a complete departure from the Bible (obviously..lol). However, I do part company with any interpretation that supports and facilitates the wicked impulses in humanity to exploit and oppress other peoples.

And then, also agree with you that more of us as Black women need to become more aware of who we are and not what the media and popular culture tells us we ought to be.

Walk good,

I’ve been lurking in your blog for a while now. I ‘ve always had issues with the bible overall (i am a conspiracy theorist so I won’t get into it).

It is my honest belief that people of the African Diaspora have been hoodwinked. Until we learn about our true selves via our authentic history (before slavery), we will continue to be called “nappy headed hoes” and believe it. I can’t even be mad at Don Imus. I am more disappointed that we say such words to ourselves everyday! We believe the untruths told about us because we do not know about our true culture and have adopted everyone else’s (i.e. our omission in the bible). Until we get to the point of loving ourselves from our “nappy” heads to the tips of our brown toes…. the madness will continue.

Peace
