Listening to this sermon just made me sick to my stomach. Far too often people who wouldn’t survive 2 days of slavery let alone hundreds of years of it have the audacity to tell us, “oh, it wasn’t that bad” and to “get over it.” Most people don’t want to have a real conversation about the enslavers they only want to talk about the enslaved and how the enslaver “saved” black people. Most people don’t want to talk about the generational psychological damage slavery has caused in the black community.
The way this “pastor” spoke about slavery was as if we [black people] should be thankful for slavery. When the only people who should be thankful treat us like we owe them something. To strip an entire people of their culture, traditions, religion, and family tree is not psychologically damning.
This “pastor” Keith Gomez runs the Northwest Bible Bapist Church in Elgin, Illinois.

Wtf??? Dude should be thanking us for teaching them how to wash their asses. We were civilized long before they came along. I’m not sure of how and why they think that the world wouldn’t function without them when through out history all they’ve caused was caos.
First of all, am proud to been black, I will remain thinking as a black man, and I’m black and proud. In their mind been white makes them think they are more superior than us, No they are not. Let them have a taste of one quarter of what we went through and come and see whether their race will be in existence. Thanx.
