Too many clergy are indeed agents of the oppressive white supremacist reign of terror that victimizes Black and Brown souls and bodies in America and elsewhere in the world. They function just as their missionary antecedents did, in all of the Americas, in Africa, in Asia, in the Pacific Islands and even in Europe, pacifying the native populations to accept colonization, economic expropriation and exploitation, cultural and familial decimation, imperialism, slavery and unimaginable subjugation--not to mention a host of diseases and dis-eases. The Black American African clergy who function in slavish adherence to their parent institutional religious denominationsand the fad-apocalyptic visions and revelations of so-called television and radio preachers are also the worst kind of agents of oppression. All of them have the temerity to confront every act of genocide, indignity and humiliation counseling peace brothers and cool it. Its as bad as having a former member of NWA portray a cop on television. Yes, it is hard not to sell out and even betray the revolutionary spirit of Jesus Christ when your comfortable position as a spiritual leader is jeopardized by standing in the militant tradition of Bishops Morris Brown, Reverdy Ranson, and the Revs. Martin Luther King, Jr, Henry Highland Garnet, Minister Malcolm X and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. It was such behavior during the Japanese genocide in occupied China when the clergy counseled peaceful protests against rape, torture and wholesale slaughter that caused Mao Tse Tung to conclude Religion is not an opiate, religion IS POISON!
