A lot of black people seem so confused about Afro-American culture. I honestly believe it's because African Derived Religions are taught to be the work of the devil. Yet, all over the globe, religion is the heart and soul of every culture. Before the advent of missionaries, religion was indistinguishable from culture. How can you love yourself and view the soul of your people as evil or ignorant? No need to convert to find self-respect and self-acceptance.
