The Black Christian

If you're like me, you grew up in the church with an elder person in your family. Me particularly was my grandmother. Every Sunday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. So many days, church became the new home, and home became the tabernacle. In house, there was a picture of Jesus, multiple crucifix, and open bibles right next to holy water. Its all fun and games until your grandmother saves you with a splash of this shit, which oddly smells like baby oil. 

The black church has many layers, with so many different styles, I can't even name them all. The most common being Baptist, is where I grew up, and is probably why I'm none denominational now. The characters they hold would blow any reality tv show out the water. Who’s my favorite? Has to be the hat ladies. Who are the hat ladies you ask? The backbone of the church I would say. The elder women whom’s prestige style exudes even that of the pastor himself. The colorful peacockish strut of brow that flows off the lapel into the hands, where they cup and grasp a church fan, just enough to breeze the feathers in the what seems like 5 foot tall dynamic symbol they call a hat. 

Why? The face of wisdom that holds from that stern look, as they listen with astute understanding to the word in one ear, and the other listens for any gossip that may flow from any pew in ear shot. With one wisp of the tongue, they spew what any Reggae artist would only describe as hot fire in a fashion that wouldn't stop them from being elegant. The smile from a far to random church goer, then a cut of the neck, and the fun begins, as they talk as much shit as possible, while covering their mouths with one hand. 

With all this being said, this wasn't the point of my passage. Its to ask a simple question? Who did black people pray to before Jesus? Ever ask? Do you even care? Taken from what we were taught through ancestral heritage, to only being taught what they wanted us to know. Who did we pray to before? I have no clue, but I still laugh anytime I see a painting of what Jesus is like, and he looks uncomfortably like the white guy I use to buy my shrooms from. 

Talking topic! We all know what kind of person Jesus was, and he wasn't a white man. I mean hair of wool doesn't exactly describe Donald Trump. Shrugs, I'm just saying. I digress, we still find the time to argue over a religion that wasn't even ours to adopt, It was forced upon us. Don't get me wrong, I'm not an atheist, I am a heathen though, only because, who doesn't enjoy eating a nice ass out now and again? 

I tried asking all the elders in my family, and you would have thought I was O.J. Simpson, the faces were that of I like you cuz you black, but nigga you trippin. Followed by that of, “All I know is Jesus is my savor”. Ok yeah I get it, you're Christian, however, a nigga was just asking. Do we even care anymore? Is it a lost cause? Like...we all want to be black, but we don't want the underlying questions to actually be answered. 

Just say this to yourself and you'll get it. “Black people love church, but hate to be preached to”.
