THE BLACK RACE FACES SOME OF THE MOST DIFFICULT ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL FUTURE. ECONOMICALLY, THERE IS VERY LITTLE THAT BLACKS CAN DO TO SUCCEED. WE LIVE IN A GLOBAL SOCIETY WHERE COMPETITION IS INFLEXIBLE AND BLACKS ARE SO FAR BEHIND. THE ONLY HOPE I SEE IS IN POPULAR TRADITIONAL AFRICAN RELIGIONS. POPULAR TRADITIONAL AFRICAN RELIGIONS ARE OUR UNIQUE CULTURE AND LIFESTYLE. THEY ARE THE ONLY RELIGIONS THAT CAN BRING ALL BLACK PEOPLE IN THE WORLD TOGETHER! OUR RITUALS ARE THE MOST CREATIVE! OUR HEALING IS THE MOST POWERFUL! OUR MUSIC, DANCE AND ART ADORED! OUR SPIRIT REMAINS ALIVE THROUGH POPULAR TRADITIONAL AFRICAN RELIGIONS! SO, LET US FIGHT THE SPIRITUAL INVASION OF BLACK PEOPLE BY OTHER GROUPS FROM WHITES TO ARABS THAT WANT TO REMOVE ANY TRACE OF AFRICAN RELIGIONS. THEIR DOCTRINES CANNOT LIBERATE BLACK PEOPLE BUT ENSLAVE US! THEY SAY THEY ARE GODS CHILDREN ARE THEY? AND THEN THEY "HIT" YOU WITH THE BLOOD OF JESUS BECAUSE THEY ARE ALIGNED WITH WHITE SUPREMACY INTERESTS! POPULAR TRADITIONAL AFRICAN RELIGIONS ARE THE ONES THAT CRY OUT EVERY DISTORTION OF EUROCENTRISM. THE BLACK RACE MUST LOOK AT POPULAR TRADITIONAL AFRICAN RELIGIONS THROUGH THE EYES OF AN AFRICAN (THUS NOT WHITE) IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS TO BLACK, TALL AND PROUD!
