Why are Black people still worshiping the gods of their oppressors?
In this powerful episode of Movement, Rhythm, and Conversations with Tafari, I will unpack the painful irony of how European religion—once forced on us through chains, whips, and colonization—has become a cornerstone of Black identity. While white Europeans have largely abandoned the faith they used to dominate the world, many Black communities remain deeply bound to it, defending it with unwavering loyalty.
I will explore the psychological grip of this inherited religion and ask the hard questions:
Is it truly about salvation… or obedience?
Have we mistaken indoctrination for spiritual awakening?
Through raw personal reflections and cultural critique, this episode challenges listeners to confront the lie that “God saved me” when, in truth, it was the individual’s will, struggle, and decision that led to change. And yet, those who question the system are branded as enemies of the faith.
This isn’t about disrespecting belief.
This is about liberating the mind.
Unchain your mind. Reclaim your soul.
Tune in to this unapologetic conversation that dares to expose the psychological remnants of spiritual slavery.
