There is no such thing as voodoo. The real word is voudon and it is this spirit that helped the Hatians become the first African nation state, defeating what was at the time the world's greatest military - Napoleon's racist, murderous scum - in the process.

[iArsalan]

Voodoo means "God" or "The Spirit". It has negative connotations because it was Voodoo that lead Haitians to revolt and undo French colonization.

This beautiful philosophy and way of life needs greater respect and understanding, especially since it permeates the cultures of all African Americans even when we don't realize it.

[AM310965]

@OldWaysFollower sorry to say this is not Yoruba it's Bini

[AM310965]

@beepeawee1 The Bini didn't came from IIle Ife don't mistake Bini (Benin City) for Benin Republic

[cocolahtay]

@beepeawee1 that is a contested point. the Binis say that Yorubas descend from them. Since we don't have historical support we can't really say.

@HORACIO3632 É verdade, mas estamos em pleno século XXI. Os tecidos mais "nobres" são herança do domínio britânico na Nigéria.

Didn't call it vodou. I was commenting that the remark mistook Benin Republic for Benin people (yes, descended from Yoruba) of Nigeria. Alaafia.

@beepeawee1

Although they have clearly made a name for there modified faith(Bini), it is still based in the faith of yoruba, and olokun is olokun in any way shape or form you paint her or think about her, this still remains to not be voodoo just yoruba.
