Dionysus, before you read my response to your post; Dont have your back against the wall. Be receptive to what I write, for I am challenging your opinion.
In your aforementioned view of
Eve cursed women this is incorrect. If you read carefully in the book of
Genesis chapter 3 beginning at verse 8 God is walking in the garden. In verse 9 God calls Adam and says
" 'Adam, where art thou' "? Not Eve. God held Adam responsible for everything in the garden of Eden. From naming the animals to the emotional and physical well-being of Eve his wife.
God cursed man for their disobedience. As you read farther in the chapter; from
verse 15 to end of that chapter; God goes in depth how they
both will be cursed. Please read that for your own clarity.
Concerning your latter view of how you feel that someone in the bible did something to curse the black race is
ridiculous.
Now I will play
Devil's Advocate with this one.
If what you feel is true: then I will tell you a few people in the world who are cursed as well.
Have you ever listened to classical music? I'm quite sure you have -Being that you are a woman of panache.
Beethoven- the world-reknowned composer was a black
man. His mother was black.
Alexander Dumas- author of
The Three Musketeers
a black man.
Alexander Pushkin- A Russian literary genius. May I
interject? (Black people live in other
countries besides Africa.)
Eleanor Roosevelt- wife of one of our U.S President's
paternal grandparents were black. She is also a member of
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. Which is
predominately black.
The Egyptians- too often members of other persuasions
choose discredit this fact. Why do you think
the nose and other facial features from
Egyptian sculptures have been destroyed?
Particularly The Great Shinx.
What you fail to realize is that by you having this view: And, making the insensitive comment you made(wrote). Are the reasons why many black men and women for years were; degraded; lynched; assaulted; and mamed.
Dionysus, Am I going pull a jig to get you to "like" black people? or Try to change your view? No. My people fought too hard.
But, I suggest that you that you take into consideration your verbiage and not make that comment again.
