_______________________________
In this clip, D.L. Hughley goes in on the existence of God and his personal reasons for believing in a higher power. He thinks the idea of forgiveness that is associated with the Black community has been warped primarily because of slavery and the connection between the generational conceptions of God and this "warped" forgiveness is apparent. To D.L., the concept of God could be intrinsic, but considering the history of America and how religion was used as a tool of oppression, it could be indoctrination as well. Hughley points out that you'll be hard pressed finding a Black atheist which could also be a byproduct of indoctrination. According to D.L. Hughley, the Black church is "the gayest place on the face of the earth. This is ironic considering the way most Christians condemn homosexuality, but Hughley believes the church contradicts itself because when "you got to Black churches, it's women, children, and gay dudes."

[@chuckreese3759]

I am a 71-year-old African American and I don’t know another black non-believer. The sole purpose of religion is to control weak people. The one good thing that can come from forgiving someone is to not have to walk around with hate in your heart. Hate will kill you from the inside while never harming the person you hate. Forgiveness has nothing to do with religion, but it will free you from carrying negative baggage. Believe in yourself!!!

[@hesh2]

A Slave and a Slave Master CAN NOT pray to the same God!!!

[@alfonsecapone1]

[@Waysofmanly]

You are right. The slavers created a false idol. Nothing in the bible supports forced bondage.

[@ChvckMarshallMusic]

hesh2 this statement is baseless. If our oppressors were Muslim would you say the same thing? If they were Hindu, Buddhist etc.. It doesn't matter what the religion is or was its what they did. There are good people and bad people in all sects or groups. It's unfortunate but our oppressors were just hypocrites and they didn't follow biblical principles, at all. If they did there would not have been slavery.

[@davidjoiner9496]

Chuck Marshall My man, you need to do your research, the bible acknowledges slavery and "seems" to support it with verses like "slaves obey your masters Ephesians 5:6, 1Peter 2:18-20 "to obey and respect your masters, Exodus 2:20-21 talks about beating a slave and if he don't die that day then he is not to be punished but if he dies two days later than he is ok, because he is his property. That Bible is very flawed!!! Start reading and get out of your ignorance (not calling you ignorant).

What he says about the black church is the most truthful thing I've heard in a while. And the thing about it is, people won't be offended because he was wrong; he's not. They'll be offended because he said it out loud.

[@fothgt]

David Robinson Many want to participate in the life of the church because of one truth...acceptance. When I first started going to church over 30 years ago there where young men who were strugglng with their sexuality. Over the years I have learned a thing or two. Here's one...Jesus allows the tares to grow alongside the wheat and He will eventually bring His sickle and separate the true from the false...!

[@DRob_22]

Will Thompson I know a Pastor RIGHT NOW; Been friends with him years before he came out to me. He loves men, but started seeing a woman so he could raise a family. I told him don't put innocent people's feelings at risk to hide sexuality. I haven't heard from him since I chastised him about it, but he went through with it. Now I feel a burden of staying silent. And the bad thing is, this person could read this right now and not know it's them. That's how prevalent homosexuality is in the church. I don't judge, but when you bring innocent people in, I tend to feel a certain way.

[@fothgt]

David Robinson And you should because you are contending for the faith! Remember when God made the covenant with Abraham, the fouls of the air sat on it and he had to knock them off.

I absolutely agree. Last year my grandmother's church had a "secret" meeting with all the gay men in the choir. The church knew about it, but wanted to cover it up. The gay men were kicked out of the choir, but stayed in the church. Almost EVERY church I attended as a child had a VERY flamboyant choir director, and my grandmother's nephew was one of them.

[@estlhm805]

He said exactly what I was thinking. Someone who came into a church and murdered people, yet they forgive him. I guess this is something I will never understand

[@gregrock7451]

"Forgiveness" = "What happens when people with genuine faith in God follow the spirit of scripture instead of simply the letter." I'm not a particularly religious fellow myself; my Mom tried to raise a good Catholic boy, but it didn't **quite** take. There's good in it, and I try to take those things away from the parts I could do without; but I'm not "God-fearing." Were I-- through some kooky confluence of events-- to find myself inside a church as I sometimes do every few years (usually around Christmas time if I'm hangin' with my parents) and some complete psychopath just strolled in and started busting caps willy-nilly, took off, and was later taken alive, I'd be e-mailing the state governor every other day asking in the most totally super-nice way possible if he'd let me throw the switch when the time comes for that bastard to do the "hot squat." But clearly, those that Dylan Roof attacked decided to try a different route. Most of the physical and emotional damage Dylan Roof inflicted can't be undone. If I had to guess, I'd say that the people who survived that feckless, mind-numbing act of brutality decided they could either carry around the pain he put into them until they die, or forgive him; by doing the latter, they're letting what he inflicted on them go, and putting themselves in a place (emotionally and spiritually) where he's powerless to harm them more than he has. I dunno if that's something **I** could do; but if they can, and doing so helps sustain them, then more power to 'em.

In slavery the church was the only place you could come together and have some relief , it was like the only social gathering available almost like a concert , you was not allowed in night clubs , theatres and etc. Thats why it became a big deal with the culture .

[@marvinluster8757]

We just have to create an environment where we can gather peacefully without religious influences, we couldn't before due to the interventions of a frightened and corrupt government but I feel our time for that is now. Unfortunately we have made it a habit of competing with ourselves over who the "blackest" to the extent that we use hateful phrases from other communities to describe those who are our brethren but are "lost" to us. We should be cautious not to exclude ourselves from each other, at the cost of our cultural power.

Tripp mundo Question, what did they see whem they sang Swing Low, Sweet chariot, coming forth to carry me home? Was it real? A myth? A more than spiritual reality that brought the actual substance of God into their midst!

[@joshuadunk8472]

Church was in fact not the only place you could go during slavery times....Yes there were no theatres or nights clubs , however most masters did allow their slaves to consume liquor and there were several scheduled slave social gatherings at night...all of this was another form of control

[@-Uranos-]

I’m late to the party, but let me say this. People who are consciously or even slightly subconsciously “spiritually awake” feel the weight and burden of unforgivness . One can only live in that bondage for so long. Consider, what’s the benefit of holding on to such hate and disdain for another person? People who choose to forgive know some place deep down in their being that this behavior is creating a self-induced burden mentally and physically. To hate and cast unforgivness toward someone, takes a huge toll on you. Some people hold on to stuff for years...and it shows. So if you love yourself, forgivness of others is one of the best decisions you could make in a show of self love.

[@tsmalls249]

Why is it our burden as black people to cheer up, make friends and forgive former and current racist white people? Why is this our burden to change their minds? What did we do to them in the first place? Why Couldn't they change their minds or beg for our forgiveness from the institution they started? So, many questions, yet no answers. Black people role is to not make former racist better. We didnt burn their church down, we didn't withhold basic human rights from them. We didn't enslaved their ancestors. We did not kill their leader and hang their families. We have no obligation to befriend a racist or change the minds of racist, who haven't ask from our forgiveness. We have done enough talking. Enough kneeling. Enough dying.

+Smooth kriminal Fd4ThOth🙊 according to old indigenous teachings Yacub (Jacob) supposedly kreated The Original Man (melaninated beings having a human experience) his brother out of jealousy created a caucazoid Caucasian (a lesser pigmentation of the Melaninated Original Man) from the Dna of the 1st kreation. There was always issues so the Caucasians were Outcasted to the Caucus Mountains. Now weather thats True or not. Its noted that the Albinos were treated unfairly and were outcasted to the Caucus Mountains. Its still FACT that the Original people from Akabulon (now Africa) abused & enslaved (lil BROTH3R) and its like a Tit for Tat.. from a psychologist apsect using the P.A.C. system Parent, Adult, child, it would be titled (Negative Child) Eye for an Eye of course the Karma now recieved from what Ancestors did to (Lil BROTH3R) its the TRU3 CINDERELLA STORY if we are to study to show thy s3lf approved, I dont know why many start With Ancient K3m3t (Egypt) and not further back to what is known to man.

[@Go-Getter]

he's a fool if he doesn't think that the content that you consume doesn't play a factor in the way that you think

[@AbbyNixon]

Go Getter - that's true but everyone isn't intellectually weak, many people make their own decisions while others submit to the environment like churches

[@Go-Getter]

Abby Nixon I get that because I'm not mentally weak. But I'm also not exempt from being subconsciously influenced.

[@AbbyNixon]

Go Getter - Exactly, we're all susceptible. We all are vulnerable to our environment, family, not that either is detrimental. My dad told me years ago that I had to be my own man and that comes with both success and failures. I don't or ever was a follower but I look for those with basic commonalities. I saw DL. Over 20 yrs ago, didn't kno him but I never 4got a thought he left the audience after all the jokes with an analogy, basically saying there's options at times when you assume there's only one way, push or pull

[@thec0r379]

It most certainly can but I get what he was trying to say. I think everyone falls victim subconsciously to programming whether it be societal or through a viral source no one is above being human. The problem is we often tend to exaggerate the small stuff out of fear and the values or beliefs that we have been taught. The biggest problem that I find is that we place so much focus on the content which is marginal at best and less focus on our actions within real life which are the bigger factors at play.

[@nateriver4951]

Go Getter Not when it comes down to preference. If every tv show on earth had a guy saying that whiskey tasted like pizza rolls, that still wouldn't make you taste pizza rolls when you drink whiskey. Watching Looney Tunes didn't make people want to murder others by dropping pianos on them. To imply otherwise would be to say that you could be genuinely attracted to a guy just because Will and Grace was popular.

Attending church and really relying on my faith in Yashuah, yes, the black church has become a hub for sin. Not just homosexuality, but sin period. When the church started worrying more about money that representing Yashuah, the apostasy grew more and more.

[@megamafiarecords]

Facts

[@tCruzin4Lyfe]

I’m black and I’m an atheist. It’s hard to come out with it because the people I’m raised around are programmed from birth to believe in what they believe. It is what it is but it’s definitely very few who are willing to come out and say it or think outside of the box they were put in.

[@BEATYVISIONCLOTHING]

Did D.L. try to smoke his hat? lmao

[@xbm7931]

Just out of curiosity, what exactly is DL looking for from God? Saying God isn't where we are, what does he necessarily mean?

[@jesserapkin2660]

A round of applause for men like this that put social acceptance to the side in order to speak their truth.

[@kountzer]

@@kerryellison2816 there are 10Xs more gay men outside the church than inside. They are everywhere: in schools, in music, especially rap. They play football and basketball. Run track. The only difference is those outside the church activities don't meet up as regularly as does church.

The only straight men who go to church (who are single and not with their woman) are ones repenting for past sins and the few couple lames who go to meet women. Yes, the rest are gay. This is a fact.

This is interesting. I'm Black and I'm neither a believer nor a non-believer. I didn't really come up in churches but attended bible school here and there when I was younger. But I've always questioned after-life. So I sit on the side as an Agnostic.

[@williemo44]

Forgiveness is to free yourself not let the wrong doer off the hook. Many people cannot get past bad experiences because they are enslaved by it mentally. Forgiveness is to have faith that God will take care of those who did you wrong and by that God grants you healing from the scaring of what has happened.

[@vallynne2833]

Craig Thomas ... When there is such a high stake for humans (hell for eternity), why does this scripture suggest that god is getting a kick out of tricking his own creation so he can put them in hell? Obviously, men wrote this, it's a fairytale.
