Have we lost our identity as the black race?

THE EDITOR, Madam:

We are the only race on planet Earth that embraces a religion that was used to captivate us and place us in slavery, then take it as our official means of seeing our Messiah. We are the only race that sees God through the eyes of another race’s beliefs.

The black race is ignorant to what their true belief should be. We don’t even have our true names.

Most black men have the capacity to understand where we came from and where we are heading and to beckon to the blind blacks who are heading into a cul-de-sac. We have been brainwashed and brain-drained for centuries to satisfy the insatiable ego of the white man. He has led us astray to the ravines, precipices, and dungeons so we don’t know our worth as a race or who our true enemies are.

BETTER UNDERSTANDING

If we searched the Nile Valley, we could have a better understanding of our cause and purpose and what we have done for the betterment of all humanity. We will have to collaborate and collate all the information we have gathered with our brother-men to liberate the many blacks from their ignorance.

I recall in about 2002 when the late Garner Ted Armstrong, the son of Herbert W. Armstrong, who started the Worldwide Church of God, came to the National Stadium to preach the word of God. He made a statement I cannot forget, and he almost had to withdraw it. He simply said, “Jesus is like you people in the congregation, not like me, who is white.” Some black people almost killed him for his beliefs.
