I need to say something here as a major and author of psychology AND a Muslim (yes, a Muslim). Black people have gotten the whole Atheist view point from whites and consider themselves to be intellectual for doing so. I have asked black brothers and sisters to name ONE great African empire that was NOT religious as a "GLUE" that held the people together! There is NONE! We as black people not only were and all the original Jew, Christian and Yes, Muslims, but we have historically used religion to conquer and prosper. The most powerful glue for any people is a common spiritual belief that convinces them of their rights, power, and greatness. I will wait for anyone here to tell me what great empires were built on atheism.

[@TheUmmahFightCamp]

@@johnjones-yt8rt I am afraid not. First, the early great empires of China were not built upon an atheistic ideology. Nor is it today. China is run by a Communist regime with an asterisk since it allows for much traditional communism, as most know it, did not. The people are of many different religions from Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, and others. The religion of the people, however, is second to the nationalistic interest in dominance. Even if China was all atheist, it would still be a fact that the overwhelming number of great empires made ample use of religion.

[@jillanstephens9904]

Not true. We had religion before ee were taken. As a matter of fact the white want us to think that they introduced us to religion. But history shows that some of our gospel music that's in our churches was sung by our ancestors on the slave ships on there way to Europe and was rewritten by a white man in English. Also in the bible shows when the prophet Isaac has visted one of the black nations and was amazed to know that our people had already known god and have been worshipping him for centuries. I don't believe we were introduced by white people about religion when we had the message long before they came. The bible was written in Africa. Everything started in Africa.

[@AllpraisesYah]

Do some research into the origins of Christianity. Also look into when the letter J was created. Look into the image of “Jesus Christ” and the origins of that. Check out the origins of the holidays. Easter, Christmas etc.

[@joshuablackburn5770]

N'ZIer Bohannon Actually, if you do your research Christmas and Easter are both Pagan holidays. Not Christian holidays. Anyways, the idea that religion is a substitute for identity is absolutely false. Christianity helped me embrace who I am culturally who I am as a human being, who I am in society. Christianity is not one person’s religion where in the Bible does it say that it is only for Caucasians? Nowhere! As a matter of fact, Moses’s sister Miriam got leprosy because she was prejudiced towards his black wife.

[@AllpraisesYah]

Sorry for the confusion Joshua, but I didn't mean to imply that they are Christain religions. When Christianity is looked at as a whole those holidays are largely synonymous with the religion. I also do not believe that his chosen people are based on color in any shape form or fashion. The chosen people are the people that have had a circumcision of the heart. With that being said we have faith in Yahuah(Name with the best translation from Hebrew Tetragrammaton, I hope it doesn't offend) and because of that faith, we show that we love him by choosing to follow his commandments. His word is all about building a personal true relationship with him through study prayer and obedience out of love. I personally do not use the title Christian because in my object research I believe Jesus Christ to be a pagan deity. For Example, we transliterate names not translate them. We do this with any other person name which is an identifier. If I died to today and was spoken about 100 years from now my name would still be N'Zier in Chinese or any other language for that matter. Doing unbiased research he was not a Caucasian man, and the image that has been used for him does have an origin. I am not going in depth, but those are some basic reasons and I choose to follow learn about the father in complete truth not just partial. With that being said it is my due diligence to understand that Proverbs 1:7 is the foundation. A lot of people that are pushing his color and choosing to call themselves Hebrew Israelites are doing it for selfish reasons, but I simply want to know and depend on him in truth. I am more then willing to strip myself of any false teachings if they are proven to be false by scripture and scripture alone. For me, that means getting into the translations of our bible from the Hebrew Masoretic Text, The Septuagint, and The writings of Josephus because 2 Corinthians 13:1 tells us that there must be at least 2 or three witnesses to everything. Personally, I'm no longer subjecting myself to blind faith. I apologize if I offended you or anyone else, but there are some truths that I believe people need to pray and understand, but not just pray to pray but also include James 1:5-8. This link explains an overview of ''Christianity" and I don't believe all Christians are like this but I'm looking at it form a majority standpoint.

We are from Africa and I embrace my African culture but The so called African Americans is not African. Just because we lived on the same land mass and we look similar doesn’t mean we are the same. A lot of us come from a different blood line , dna than the Africans. Historians and archeologists proves this it’s a fact Y’all need to study more and do more research and stop going on what the white man been telling you who you are #wake up

[@trueguynolies]

i kinda disagree with him on the last part of this interview...speaking as a muslim which is beyond race/colour...id place my religion above everything else..including my culture my family friends wealth etc....my final destination in the next life which is eternal is more important than this short life we hav here...thats not to say we dont strive and struggle to be successful here but the importance for me and for many others...im talking billions of people...is religion firstmost.

[@clickpaul2006]

I beg to differ with you brother. I don't know your ethnic background so i'll use myself as an example. As a black person my African ancestors didn't believe in the concept of heaven or hell as described in the bible and the Quran. My ancestors had a different view of life after death but i don't know what that view was because it was stripped from my lineage first by the Arab invasion of the northern, western and eastern parts of the African continent and then by the slave masters who took my ancestors into slavery. Therefore My views on life after death have been shaped by the religion of my oppressors and not by my original ancestry. So when Dr Umar Johnson speaks about religion replacing our true identities he is talking about our entire world views including our view of life after death. I have attempted to study and understand what beliefs many African communities had/have about life after death but all of them have been completely distorted and corrupted over the centuries by the dominating religions of Islam and Christianity through colonization and it's very difficult to get anybody who doesn't believe that those beliefs were wrong, uninformed and inferior. Those beliefs were black people's true identity and our ancestors had practiced and followed those beliefs and values for many millennia. That is who black people truly are.

[@trueguynolies]

@@clickpaul2006 well who says u need to follow ur forefathers....u follow what is true to u...i wouldnt be surprised if those blak people in Africa wer actually muslims thousands and thousands of years ago... before 1400 years ago the standard was to worship 1 God and if thats what they believed then that makes them muslims. nonethelesss, my point is true beleif in 1 God pure monotheism is what im content with to be true and more important therefore than anything in this universe.

I disagree with my precious brother Umar. I am from the Songe and Luba tribe, I know my history, my lineage, my ancestral homeland. I was not stripped of my lineage as African-Americans were. However, I am Christian by religion, I believe in Christ Jesus as God the Messiah. You got it wrong, religion in its purest form, doesn't replace your identity, it goes beyond identity. Identity is only the flesh, it passes away. My Christian religion doesn't change my biological lineage, because it deals with my soul, my heart, not my ancestry. Whether I am Luba and someone else is Anglo-Saxon, it has absolutely nothing to do with God. In Christ Jesus, there is neither Jew, Greek, Gentile, man, nor woman. God deals with the soul!

[@tribeofjudah8091]

The black community should really look into who Hazrat Bilal PBUH was. And who was given the privilege of adding something in the Fajr (Morning) Azaan (Call to prayer) which Muslims will follow till the end of time. Islam may have a lot of problems - because of how today's Muslims are acting not Islam itself - I am ashamed of; but it isn't Racist. I love my black muslims more than my own brown Muslims.

Im a film student this is not bashing, this is to grow. Need to work on the Audio input maybe use a mixer with a direct input box or kill the hum in the mics.... also showing lights and stage equipment is sometimes nice to show if its intentional. I think the flood light in the shot was not intentional. Just keep the camera static. Its just dialogue and it does not need more than panning from left to right or zooming in and out to give more energy to the show. Production value is very important. All of my videos ARE NOT professional and the projects that needed to be professional are and most of my videos do not have important figures or interesting topics for that matter. Something to think about. The audio noise is a distraction. You can use a wireless or wired boom mic instead of using the cameras mic (not sure which option you choose).

God first, there will always be problems God said that in his word yet he also said to take heart he is already overcome the world. Our 1st priority is to be born again then seek god's counsel as to how our lives need to move forward. We are too busy worrying about what we want and this is where we get in trouble because we deny what we really need. God is our source in which we receive resources to function spiritually, mentally, physically, financially, politically, and through relationships. You might succeed for a short period of time but in the beginning it was God 1st and in the end it's still going to be God 1st.

People keep attaching "religion" to Christianity as if we view Christianity as a religion. Jesus, himself, spoke against religion. God never intended for Christians to practice a relationship to Him through Jesus Christ. Therefore, Christianity is a faith-based relationship with the Creator through His Son Jesus Christ with guidance from the Holy Spirit. Religion can be practiced to the point of reacting without thinking. Christianity is never NOT THINKING. God- Father, Son and Holy Spirit is real. Confess and believe in Jesus before it's too late.
