Foxx’s message was in reference to a prior post, no longer found on his feed, which read, “They killed this dude named Jesus… What do you think they’ll do to you???!” He ended the post with the hashtags #fakefriends and #fakelove.

    I’m always kinda confused by black Christianity… It’s obviously a case of Plymouth Rock landing on them. Why isn’t organized religion treated more suspiciously in their communities?

      Because historically, spiritualism was vitally important to their communities, and they weren’t allowed to practice the beliefs of their ancestors. It filled a void where nothing else was available.

      Name an African American civil rights leader (without searching online) that wasn’t strongly religious Christian or Muslim.

      Or talk to a African American mother about how her church and the connections she made there helped out.
