  • @Lovelyb4u2 It is everyone's right to practice the religion of their choosing. You don't see Vodou practitioners, Wiccans, Santeros and Druids trying to convert Christians. Live and let live. Speaking personally, I feel free now that I'm not Christian anymore. I was tired of the corruption and self-righteousness I saw in so much of Christianity. Clean your house before insisting people move in with you...

  • Everyone, this is New Orleans Voodoo not Haitian Voodou, so please everyone calm down. They are completely distinct. That's why most of them are white. It's hard to get into the history of New Orleans Voodoo because so many people want the myth rather than the truth. I'll just leave it at that.

  • @Lovelyb4u2 What do you mean this ritual makes no sense? You know NOTHING about them and then claim they make no sense. Jackass...

  • @cherokeediamond It is scary isn't it! Yet many will say that only whites can be racist.

  • She is Jewish ,speaking in French

  • What language is tje woman speakimg? Sounds french or spanish to me

  • wow so much racism and ignorance below...

    religion does not care about race.

  • Voodoo is still very much practiced by whites, blacks, and other races. I was raised in and around New Orleans and it doesn't matter your color. We accept each other for looking in your heart if you are not racist then you are not treated that way. How about seeing each other as people and don't worry about the outside covering for it can be altered. As for Voodoo you have people of all types who practice and just do not let it be known. trust me..

  • its not the white race....its the use of colour white,they would have used this ritual in haiti ,which was a stop over for the spanish slave traders from africa to america this ritual would have dated back to africa ......voodoo is some powerful shit i wouldnt mess with it.......

  • "We have to get over it" is the most brainwashed B/S excuse I've ever heard for not holdin someone accountable. How do you get over something that's STILL GOING ON TODAY??? This sh** ain't just happen 400 years ago, it's still goin' on RIGHT NOW! We've been lettn sh** go long enough, no more, No matter how many brown faces you put in the White House, REVOLUTION is coming.

  • @BabyGirlGoddess MOST IMPORTANT IS WHEN THEY PULL THAT BULLSHIT TELLING US WHAT WE DO NATURAL IS NO GOOD...WE MUST HAVE THE UNDERSTAND THAT THE WHITE MAN HAS NO UNDERSTAND OF WHAT IS NATURAL....

  • @AFRICA4AFRICANS

    that is if they don't become extinct.

    anyway, i have noticed that whenever people of color does something it is considered wrong but as soon as a white person does it , it is considered acceptable , exotic and interesting. *sigh*
