This video is taken from a segment of livestream. Be sure to check out Hometeam History during livestreams. Here I discuss the cognitive dissonance encountered while studying African spirituality and how I began to look at the voodoo ceremony of the Haitian revolution differently considering the results based African spiritual model of the Niger-Congo peoples.

  1. I am part of the Ifa tradition and can’t imagine life without it. I don’t practice in a traditional way due to even humans messing it up, too. But the pure teachings and having my deities based in Africa: PRICELESS! Black folks should learn more. Even if you don’t practice an ATR learning about them can still be healing.

  2. Science tells us humanity moved out of Africa and colonized the world from there. Ergo, the Biblical narrative of Noah's children (Ham and Mizram) colonizing Africa can not possibly be true.

    I believe the Semetic narrative was written to claim (steal) the position of "First Born". The science can't be wrong.

  3. Belief offers nothing to the oppressed, certainly not the beliefs of our oppressors. Anything we see as a derivative of that construct, can be manifested independently of doctrine or faith. We cannot prime ourselves for the absorption of ideology without evidence.

  4. Who ate the ppl armed with enough Nuclear weapons to destroy the World ten times Over????

    And Africa is the Only nation on The Earth that does Not have such an Evil weapon….Go Figure!

  5. Well, here we go with another enemy and another war. The new enemy is this idea that African people are the source of human spirituality. We are not. The source of human spirituality is God, the Creator. According to the Quran man was created with a righteous nature, that is represented by the conscience. According to both the Bible and the Quran, God created Adam and then breathed into him His Spirit. Before receiving Revelation from God Adam (African people) existed in their raw spiritual form. In this form they worshiped nature, man's first religion. It was the pure Revelation, in its original form, that refined the raw African spirituality into monotheism. After many centuries of practicing monotheism the right way, Africans fell. Many centuries after the fall, many corrupted forms of monotheism emerged among African people. According to the Quran Prophets were sent to every nation, who followed the same pattern as the original African nation. As a result, religious people today are trapped in corrupted organized religion, all over the world.

  6. Haiti is representation of Africa in the western World !!

    A Melting Pot of Tribes and culture and people uniting to over throw oppression!

    My opinion, this is why Haitian Revolution was successful!!

    It was spiritual Unity !!!

  7. The biggest thing hurting the life of the black community is it's members continued viewership of themselves as the black community.

    People will legit vote for people who dont care about them, will side against their neighbors of other colors (specifically against white people), and will actively promote things that harm themselves as an individual SOLELY because someone else has a similar shade to them.

    What on Gods good earth do you have in common with a guy you've never met in africa as opposed to the white dude you're friends with at work?

  8. How can thoughts be evil?
    The greatest evil is humanity aka,” fight, runaway, eat, crap, fornicate with egotistical minds. Just to wake up and do it again. The demiurge feeds well.

  9. I know that I left a comment on at least one of your videos on the interpretation of the curse of Ham I’ve gotten from a orthodox Rabbi who understands biblical Hebrew, which he says nothing to do with African people. Once knowing that, that whole psychosis about the curse of Ham can just be dropped.

    Maybe it’s hard for some Black Americans who are Christians to reconcile this? But maybe if they are directed at the original Hebrew as I have stated in one of your videos, this would no longer be an issue.

    As long as Black folks keep tripping about that Christian king James version of the curse of Ham, then they’ll keep having issues about it — unless they go to the original Hebrew and actually learn what the text means.

  10. Sometimes our very blessings come in the way of our very curses, but Allah almighty always have plans for all of us ☀️ 🌙 🫶🏿🫶🏾🫶🏽🫶🏼🫶🏻

  11. Our melanin is a blessing but slavery was a curse. We must realize the truth of the bible which is we went into slavery because of our sins. We can uplift our ourselves but even the earth has a ceiling. Our people should be able to stand in the sun without getting heat stroke and we all deserve to be debt free 🆓

  12. 2:31 I was a Christian and I felt the disconnect. For that reason, I left that faith. I am now practicing African Spirituality. Practicing it opened my eyes.

  13. I fell into this trap before as well but it isn't true. Like logically its untrue as in Ham was Not cursed, it was Canaan. Canaan is not some absolute ancestral singularity for black people.
    BUT I love how authentic thinkers all find this notion, just keep truth seeking, God seems to honor that with revelation.

  14. Also the further back in history we go, the more homogenous belief concepts get. I've noticed that "The Way" that Jesus was referring to seem to be more "Ecumenical" the the Jewish community at the time. Whats intresting as The Way and its Ecumenical nature strongly resembles (in spirit) African Spirituality and motifs. I am still following the spirit, pray I'm allowed a glimpse of truth.

  15. I've come to overstand that the Spirits I pay homage to if they don't work for me I look past them and keep moving Bobby Hemmit said something similar

  16. We are not black people, we are Israelites, our ancestors fell because they listened to deities. We are chosen by yahuah we are to follow the commands and read the Torah. This African spiritually is full of idol worship and these things are evil… we are only to be connected spiritually to yah not old deities. They lead to blood sacrifices which are not of yah.

  17. Religions are psychological tools used to control masses of people. Haitians used it to rally their people against their enemies. Islam used it to get people to blow themselves up to destroy their enemies. Christians used it to enslave and subjugate. Like any other tool it can be used for good or bad. This coming from an atheist.

  18. My brother from Cameroon once told me a story passed down by his griot that explained ancient Africans stretched their hands up and praised the sun each day for bringing light, helping seeds of life to crack and providing warmth. I'll never forget that story.

  19. This whole time, my man was a Christian? I am stunned. But then again, it's probably for the best – a pro-Black Christian can bring in the Christian audience to this channel. Someone like me would turn every Black Christian away lol. But I have to be honest, "pro-Black Christian" is impossible.

  20. It's sad that Africans on the continent majority don't have the luxury living in rural villages to combat islam and Christianity. 800 million minds are lost smh. This message really needs to reach them only Kenyans and South Africans Nigerians mostly have the luxury to see YouTube I believe
