Black Christians...
#5
RE: Black Christians...
I agree in principle. However, I do see how the black slaves could see something in the christian mythology and jesus that spoke to them in those times. Think israel in egypt, the sermon of the mount. Maybe they heard it and thought - hey, this message from Jesus, he's not talking to our masters, he's talking to us! I totally can see it.

Just for completeness, I'd like to add that there's a billion black people who were not american slaves. Just sayin.

In the US, that would make what, 95% and 4% more muslim (total guess)?
