the resignation letter (time code 47:55-49:10) says what being Christian really is. Not someone who goes to church but someone who serves in the world.

the barber is speakin the truth about the things that were done to {us} african americans and the lies that were told to us as a people by whites. christianity was forced on us when we were slaves. the barber is speakin the truth and i'm sick of WHITE people not wanting to hear about the way they have missed treated africans that later became african americans. They did it we did not came looking for this new world they came and got us.

well.. that's religion for you. and there is no "us", all the slaves are long gone dead and buried now. you're doing a great disservice to the people that actually suffered, by trying to align yourself with them and trying to claim their lives and struggles as your own. peace.
