Have Christianity and Islam Helped Black Americans Survive?| AJ+

- For centuries, religion was used to justify a lot of bad in the United States. Slavery, genocide, segregation, you name it. But religion also served as a means of survival and liberation for some of the most marginalized groups in this country. In this piece, Sana Saeed explores how black Americans have relied on religion - especially Christianity and Islam - to survive and liberate themselves for over three centuries. And we ask: Does religion still have a role to play in the fight against white supremacy and systematic racism?

🤔 that’s cute n all but that’s NOT the type of society we are living in. Nice try tho
Your getting alot of shit done posting on RUclips videos. So brave
Survive??? No.. its hard to survive with the one thing left over from slavery. You can't be mad at slavery, and then hold on to the one thing that controls your heart, and mind.
Lol that’s the only thing that kept us together keep believing the non blacks
I hate what it does to the minds of black people everywhere in the world who believe. The royal family's ancestors King James, and Queen Elizabeth gave you the Bibles. They participated in and benefited off of slavery

The answer is no religion is not needed
Maybe but religion is very effective. Its the human thats flawed with potential for evil. Look at jews muslims asians and indians. Strong belief in god = strong values and traditions = strong families and communities = strong presence in population. Just on the surface there are good things about religion. Blacks and whites leading with atheism and all of these alternative lifestyles from sexuality to addictive hobbies and social or political groups. And of all things DEPOPULATING.
Nation of Islam and Islam are two different things. After pilgrimage to Mekkah, malcolm x turned to the real Islam. Elijah Muhammad had no place in real Islam.
R. Riaz exactly, as a muslim I consider them as non muslim in fact they are clowns.

The original Muslims were heavily black, a fact many so called Muslims are reluctant to discuss. The Quran states Adam was a black man- surah Al Hidra 15:26/ so please be careful with your takfirat and disrespect of the Nation of Islam. Iqra.....
@@RPNDWORLDWIDE He did not made takfir on the basis on color But on the bases of their Beliefs .. a person who said I am presenting you myself as God in person cannot be a Muslim
+Muhammad Ilyas Do they pray to other than Allah? okay then, the statement that is made which sounds like shirk has its roots in Christian theologian teachings and even African theologian teachings, when one says Emmanuel it means God with us, yet this does not literally mean all people called emanuel are God. Most people that aren't black will not give black people the 70 excuses they deserve, they are quick to dismiss anything the black person says in regard to religion, yet ask them what colour Adam, Moses, and Jesus were according to Haiti and you hear crickets. They love to dismiss black people whenever the opportunity arises, knowingly or unbeknownst.
I think Us black people need to be honest with ourselves when it comes to religion and Christianity
And that is
Also about nationality and unity based on true history not confined to teaching people history start at slavery, but start with our fore mothers and fathers as Afroasiatic/ Niger Kordofanian peoples. 🇲🇦🇺🇸✌🏽
Haven’t helped us at all. It’s made us lay down and take mistreatment. Smh
During slavery it gave people hope and gave them something to live for also even today it helps people it gives them hope don’t blame religion blame humans

@Realmatic Schisms I challenge you to produce your evidence from the Qur'an of your claims.
@raserianfald many schoolars? Claiming sth but ain't give any name? Sounds like a manipulation. U can't find many only one or two. Majority is certain that Quran is an unchanged and unspoiled book revealed by God directly to the Prophet via Gabriel. And actually if u don't believe that it's a revelation of God u ain't counted as a Muslim at all.
This life is a search , a journey. Enjoy yours. May you be guided to truth.
@Realmatic Schisms I don't understand what you meant the sun neither sets nor rises rather it is said to set and rise based on human point of view. Think about it...the news, news paper etc, weather channel say "the sun sets" in such location at such time ...just a way of speaking. I am glad you like reading the Quran. Thanks for your question. Go read more if you like.

Interesting why you haven't covered the Arab slave trade yet
Yeah of course it doesn't..
Arabic enslaved white and black ,it was not centred around the idea of inferiarity of black people
Slavery didnt end in the Arab world until the 1960s. Only because white countires like the U.S, Britiian, and France pressured them into it
Probably because she's American
pre-islam oh well no law was established yet.
It actually made us weaker.
It made black people very weak
christianity brings value and great family structure, when you take god out of your life thats when you are weak, now we have more gangs, killings, single mothers
Charles Anderson False
Nope. Christianity didn’t make black Americans weaker. It made them stronger by accepting traditional values, moral values and also family values. It also teaches people how to take responsibility for themselves. What made black Americans weaker is these far left liberal policies like welfare and racial identity politics
Mochicho Aguilar that’s not false. Christianity did bring great values to people. That isn’t false at all
The teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad were not and are not "Religious" teachings. They are More liberating and freeing to the black souls of America. It gives blacks Hope and self confidence and a diet on how to live More abundantly in all aspects. But religion and true Islam it is not. It's actually More taught from the Bible. Peace Be Upon All the faces of God's children. Amen

No matter how it's perceived a lie is a lie which is very comfortable to discuss and hold on to but the truth can't be handled. Try talking to a African American church worshipper and begin telling them facts and the truth. And it's probably the same with all the hardcore religious people. The truth is out there now. Be the best person you can be and learn to love and respect one another to bring joy in your life.
Great video, like politics no one is is going believe on one path to religious redemption. Me personally, I stay away from 'Organized Religions'. I believe in one God, the Creator of Heavens and Earth and until someone comes back from the dead to tell me otherwise, I'm sticking to it. In the words of an old Manhattans song, 'Follow your Heart'.
All of you trolls on here arguing about the existence of God and rushing to preach the gospel that religion is another form of slavery----you're missing the point: religion helped the enslaved Africans survive slavery, and their descendants to endure Jim Crow. Get over your self-righteous selves and learn to listen.
Thank you for pushing things back to the actual topic of this piece. Keep the faith, sanity is not completely gone from the land.
Anthony Stewart thank reading one smart comment between bunch of stupid comments make me think that there s still hope for the humanity
LOOL it was religion that started slavery and Jim Crow. Funny how the blacks were free in non religious states (northern states) but enslaved in religion states (the south) it wasn’t just religion that helped blacks, everyone helped blacks. Not just “religion”

Yea it’s helped keep us enslaved mentally 💯
Truth
on equality Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: “O mankind, your Lord is One and your father is one. You all descended from Aadam, and Aadam was created from the earth. He is most honored among you in the sight of God who is most upright. No Arab is superior to a non-Arab, no colored person to a white person, or a white person to a colored person except by Taqwa (piety).” (At-Tirmidhi)
Tell them that they aren't superior or better than blacks. See what answer you get. LOL
These did help some what but they wouldn't let us get off control that why all these cover law to keep us in check
A muslim can never be racist, if he is then he is not a muslim because there are verses in Al Quran saying Allah created different kinds of people with different features with different cultures for adapting to the nature around them and saying we all are one and our differences are what make us closer
Then why do muslims keep calling black muslims abed
Anyone can be racist, you mean a Muslims SHOUDNT be racist.
Not good. You have to talk about slavery in Islam too Saana and I am muslim!
if a person said i am presenting you as a prophet or GOD and claimed to be Muslim is the biggest Lie ... Nation of ISlam used only name of islam and has nothing to do with Islam .. There is no More room for another Prophet after Muhamamd Pbuh and cant even think about GOD to be incarnate in Human form ..GOD is none like HIS creation it is plain and simple islamic Rule
Quran 112
Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;
Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;
He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;
And there is none like unto Him.
Islam and Christianity do not dwell on the same plain. Christianity serves thriving Christ and islam serves a fake god and a false prophet. They do not believe that Jesus is God nor do they believe in HIs Deity. Those who do not put their faith in Christ alone, shall not enter his kingdom.
Jesus is a false god
Jesus is a messenger from God
May Allah guide you to the right path

May Allah guide you to the right path
@Pr.incorporated God doesn't bear children! Human being do! It's not befitting for the Most High to have a son! Jesus ate food which implies he had bowels. Reflect! God creates by the command be! Jesus was a sign as was his mother Mary! Peace upon them!

The Nation of Islam is a sect of Islam and are no different than the sects that Christianity has such as catholicism and Mormonism. However, traditional Arab sunni Islam is not what made Malcolm great, it was the Islamic teachings of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
Correction brother Sunni doesn't = Arab. The majority of Sunnis aren't Arab. The 2nd most important book in Islam Sahih Bukahari wasn't even written by a Arab,.
The nation of Islam is the only religion that really help the black man and black women in America all them other religions especially Christianity the white man's religion has mentally enslaved black people to make them weak.

The question of a role to play in the fight against racism sounds a bit like sophistry. I would like to ask more fundamental question especially of Christians. What are we doing to solve the day to day struggle of peoples of African descent in the USA? Take the critical issue of obesity. Have pastors sought out help and direction for their parishioners in dealing with the issue of diabetes and obesity? I would like to draw attention to new ideas on that front. In particular Dr. Jason Fung solution to both problems. He is a nephrologist (kidney specialist) who has come to the conclusion through through great scholarship that FASTING is the answer.
His is a medical conclusion, not a religious one. But I can see that most religions have FASTING as something they advise, except Christianity, generally.
If religious leaders listen to their parishioners, they would hear the fear and in fact see the evidence daily. Is it asking too much of Leaders in the church to set up committees around the issue and establish ways to bring their people into good health?

@@kimberlyrowden6474 Wrong.
Get a clue. ruclips.net/video/3NXr_CVTVD8/видео.html
The answer is yes and no
The Abrahamic religions are widely practices in the black communities but is no longer needed. It did once offer a connection before, during and after slavery. However, in the 21st century, science has done more to root out stereotypes, bigotry and hatred.
Science is king. We now know there is only one race and that is the human species. Race categories is simply a social construct (man made). Evolution has taken us deep into our past to know where we evolved. We know how the universe was formed and that a person who is gay is just as natural as a person who is straight. We know now that we are made of the same composition of that which is in stars. We have moved beyond myths and fallacies.
It is a hard pill to swallow but one that would both serve to place mankind in the appropriate mindset for the 21st century. Man has always help on to outdated and ill conceived notions and thoughts based on their passions and lower self. And that is damaging the planet and basic interaction. Spirituality can used to build the person instead of dogma. Religions carry with it outdated prejudice.
Education is not sought after as it should. It is rooted in the black community to have a faith in god first and education later. In fact, the opposite should occur to build the community as a whole. The thirst for academic knowledge is not sought after. Science can do more to help the black community than religion ever could.
The holy books are an assortment of stories that have never been rooted in scientific fact or historical truth. Historians have been saying it for some time. Many of the stories are duplicates of stories from the likes of Gilgamesh, etc. The religious find it laughable to think of Greek mythology and the like as a religion though many of its own tenets are steeped in unbelievable smoke screens.
Yes. I agree 100%.
O People, it is true that you have certain rights with regard to your women, but they also have rights over you. Remember that you have taken them as your wives only under a trust from God and with His permission. If they abide by your right then to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in kindness. Do treat your women well and be kind to them for they are your partners and committed helpers. And it is your right that they do not make friends with any one of whom you do not approve, as well as never to be unchaste.
O People, listen to me in earnest, worship God, perform your five daily prayers, fast during the month of Ramadan, and offer Zakat. Perform Hajj if you have the means.
All mankind is from Adam and Eve. An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, nor does a non-Arab have any superiority over an Arab; a white has no superiority over a black, nor does a black have any superiority over a white; [none have superiority over another] except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not, therefore, do injustice to yourselves.

Prophet muhammad said: "There is no superiority for an Arab over a non-Arab, nor for a non-Arab over an Arab. Neither is the white superior over the black, nor is the black superior over the white -- except by piety."
The Dr from Princeton seems like she has a problem with speaking on this issue?! Body language and struggling to get her thoughts together...🤔
Maybe she is worried about offending someone? It seems that way to me at least.
The "Bible" is not "the white mans book" "Christianity is not the white mans religion" - and they never have been. Amen and Alen.
Islam been around just like hebrews that were and still black Hebrew isrelites
As a black christian I’m genuinely confused
That is where reading comes in handy, read n explore, not just the Bible
🤲🏾☪️. Salafi for life and proud of it
NOPE.
slavery is ok in God's book, THX GOD!
This life is a test dear. People who think they can feast on the misery of others will be the fuel of hellfire.
Everyone is equal ... its written in God's books... so slavery is Not Ok in God eye.
rurutu M Allah calls it slavery when you are bounded to do service for your master but you may call it citizenship as you like
You can’t take the representation of religious teachings by uneducated racists to be the true principles of that religion, such as the case is with Christianity and slavery in America. For example, Islam allows slavery with extremely strict guidelines and rules regarding the treatment of said slaves. And in Islam a much heavier emphasis and encouragement is given to the freeing of slaves. Also why don’t we address the slavery that is taking place in the US prison system, where so much of our manufacturing takes place with the use of slave labour??
calstatebadboy1111 blame Adam and Eve. Life is not perfect
WHITE/ARAB GOD
What arab god u talking about?😂😂
The Sun Goddess Can I just ask you about what you know about Islam? How did you get this information about Islam?
@master船尾 no Allah is Muhammad is a prophet of god
And stop calling yourselves Africans if you call yourself an African on African American black man and woman you are still sleep
If Christianity is European
Islam is Arabian.
African animsin isn't established in nothing.
Just know Christianity started in ancient judea
And Islam ensllaved and insulted Africans, even Muslim ones.
And look at it's concequensxes in Africa and continuation in libya
Christianity is NOT a European religion and Islam is NOT an Arab religion. Christianity is a Middle Eastern religion. Because Christianity started in Northern Middle East(Western Asia). And Islam is a Middle Eastern religion. Because Islam started in Northern Middle East(West Asia). Both Islam and Christianity are Middle Eastern and both are similar to each other...European people only adopted Christianity in ancient times. And some Europeans adopted Islam as their religion. And some Europeans were forced to convert to Christianity.

Pleaassee...christianty was evangelized to unleached parts of Europe when it did. It adopted it as their official religion for different European nations at their own time.
European countries that became Islamic are due to the otttoman spreading it.
Accept. During that time Christianity was also evangelised to other parts of the world (Africa, northern Africa, rest middle East, South Asia, Arabia, China etc) through the apostles ans those who heard . Including Jews who converted after passover.
It waa accepted without changing a thing.
When Islam spread , it was militaristic and their was punishments to those who don't convert. Which includes adopting aspects of Arabian culture
And Islam has nothing to do with Arab culture. Islam is a religion and Arab culture is Arab culture.

I said aspects
Like the type of alphabet writing adopted by Indonesia to guy Quran.
Or style of mosques built in say Kazakhstan.
Do you know what ancient iran, Lebanon or Egypt was like before islm
You're very clueless and you are misunderstanding me.
The story of "Ham" was the least of it. The Bible supports slavery. Period. The ony exception was slavery for other Jews. Stop trying to whitewash (no pun) the Abrahamic faiths. Just because blacks chose to ignore the Bible's support of slavery, doesn't change the Bible and Quran's wickedness.
Christianity is an African religion, Egypt Ethiopia are in the Bible.
Ethiopia and Egypt converted to Christianity.
It's still not native there
Prophet Mohammed said =
There is no superiority for an Arab over a non-Arab, nor for a non-Arab over an Arab. Neither is the white superior over the black, nor is the black superior over the white -- except by piety."
we need arabic translate
Sucks the expert was sick on filming day, she controls it but she feels contagious from here
Prayers and immense love to our Black Christian brother who taught him that. Don't forget that the first person to be baptised was a Black (Ethiopian) , the first national church was that in a Black country (Aksum) tied with White country (Armenia), the most beautiful churches in the world are the mountain carved in Ethiopia, Black Christians are the reason why Islam was saved because it was them who gave the early Muslims the asylum when they were kicked out of Mecca. Black Christians are just equal jewels for all is Christians irrespective of our race. Jesus (Eashoa) was not a white man , he was a Hebrew and would be very close to Yemenis of today would be . Guess what I am not a Black , but they're our brothers irrespective of all that.
First of all ,the mention of Noah you mentioned was a Jewish concept and not actually what Eashoa teach. Saudi Arabia was the last nation to abolish slavery. Islam has been enslaving Aswad (blacks).
Christianity can't be complete without "their" contribution. Haters gon hate but Christianity loves our Black brothers.

Christianity is an apologist theological religion which means it’s not biblically accurate and it’s based on Eurocentrism. The real Hebrews are a race of black people, not Yemenis. Yemeni people are Bedouins and have genetic backgrounds of Cushite, Elamite and European DNA. Europeans base their DNA Semitic DNA status on the Ashkenazi and surrounding Arab tribes which are ALL ancient Indo-European tribes that migrated into the Levant nearly 4,000 years ago.

Islam doesn't enslave blacks. Arabs did that. If we are talking religion then pagans, Christians should be mentioned. You saying Jesus was black is idiotic because firstly that isn't his name (letter J never existed before) secondly he is Israeli and is likely to be a brown middle eastern man.
