RD10Q: What is Black Religion?

By William D. Hart

…h and is isolated from other traditions of Afro-Atlantic religiosity; that African American Islam is a foreign tradition when in reality it is deeply rooted in the history of African peoples in the New World; that non-Christian religious affiliations, especially Judaism and Buddhism, render black Americans racially and culturally inauthentic.

Even Tougher Questions to Ask Mormon Presidential Candidates

By Joanna Brooks

…ions for Romney included: “In your 2007 speech on religion, you said that ‘freedom requires religion just as religion requires freedom.’ Where does that leave unbelievers, in your view?” and “Polls show that there is some resistance to voting for a Mormon.

Did You Read About Conservative Judaism’s Anti-Black Antisemitic Smearing of Hebrew Israelites? Neither Did I

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…with roots in the antebellum era and pre-enslavement religions of West and Central Africa, the preferred narrative of confused Southern negroes and Caribbean migrants appropriating authentic (read: White) Jewish identity takes precedence for those wishing to uphold White Jewish normativity.

Cain’s statement at the National Press club—“This many white people can’t pretend they like me”— smacks of buffoonery. A Morehouse man who did not participate in any Civil Rights events during his time at the school in Atlanta i…

By Katherine Kelaidis

…leader of the conservative Orthodox cause. This makes the small indigenous African Orthodox community a highly valuable geo-political asset, in addition to its role as a religious one. And in turn, this new African battleground highlights why it’s high time that those outside the Orthodox world start paying much closer attention to the conflict between Moscow and Constantinople, because it’s both the source of the trouble and a proxy war. Everythi…

By Neil J. Young

…throughout today’s GOP. Yet in his new book, Reconsidering Reagan: Racism, Republicans and the Road to Trump, Daniel S. Lucks argues instead for understanding Trump not as exceptional, but as a “culmination of where the Republican Party and the conservative movement have gone since Goldwater’s nomination in 1964, the year Reagan launched his political career.” Considering all the ways that Reagan has been considered, it may seem there aren’t many…

The Only Surprising Thing About the ‘Demon Sperm’ Doctor’s Views Is That They’re Shared By Many Evangelicals

By Lenny J. Lowe

…ntial candidate Sarah Palin, whose videotaped “deliverance prayer” with an African exorcist drew media scrutiny at the time. Third Wave spiritual warfare, with its firm conviction that the world is profoundly influenced by demonic forces, has, in real social and material ways, been traversing the halls of powers for more than a decade. Trump’s decision to tweet Dr. Immanuel’s words, then, likely reflect more calculation than most media will grant….
