This line circles back to your earlier point, MK. When I believe that the more I suffer today, the more likely I will be to land on my own personal cloud in heaven with my old gold gilded fucking harp, then I will gladly submit to more pain in that way that we buy into self hate as a kind of self flaggelation, which has ever been popular in the church. When religion teaches us to hate ourselves, hate our bodies, and REALLY hate our skin color, how easy is it to utterly and totally convince us that our holy role this life, the ONLY way for a ticket to Heaven is to allow ourselves to be beaten for the terrible crime for being born Black? This is so powerful that it's going to take generations, MK.
