I haven't heard Beyonce's music since the B'day album. I'll listen to Destiny's Child and the first solo album, but not anything after that. I like hearing her voice on the older music, she's really talented, but I refuse to be involved in her worship. I don't watch her live performances because I've seen the images of her demon, it's no joke. She's a good singer, but she's not the best there ever was like they are trying to portray her to be. Anyway, the same with Solange, I listened to her music when she first came out, but nothing after. I do notice she's more Afro centric. I don't follow them close enough to know if it's a religious thing, but I do notice the feminine nature of our society is shifting to and calling it feminist. In my opinion, the feminist movement is not for us (black women), the reason I say this is because of being poor black women were already taking care of home, working jobs and ruling the house in a lot of households married or single. It was white women who were being oppressed by the men, being undermined and overlooked. But I feel like we've adopted their fight. But overall, we need men. Men need to learn how to respect and treat women, but we as women need men to help balance things out. We each have our weaknesses and strengths and we need to work together, but because of history, women are constantly trying to prove why they are good enough or better than men.
As for the African Spiritually, I think it comes from those that keep rejecting Jesus because he's portrayed as white. We understand that it's a Euro-centric world because they made it so.History has and is being white washed but we can know the truth. If you really read the Bible you will know that Jesus was not white. Just because Christianity was used in a negative manner, it doesn't mean that Christianity is wrong. If you think about it God word was preached to the Europeans, we know from the new testament where Paul was in Greece and Rome. It must have originated else where for God to use Paul to preach to them, because we know from history that they were into what we call now, Greek and Roman Mythology.
I go on to say, that the Hebrews, not referring to Ashkenazi Jews, were most likely people of color. To add to the African Spirituality, we assume that it's pagan, may be most of it is, but I've read that there are some Nigerian traditions that have roots to the traditions of the Hebrews in the Bible. We know for sure that Egypt was pagan, but what about the other African civilizations? Our history was destroyed and untold so we don't really know.
Sorry I went on a rant. I tried get to the point.
