Christianity is not beneficial to black and brown people!
Christianity was forced into the lives of black and brown people as slavery was spreading. Colonialism still impacts the way non-White people look at the world; we continue to exist based on the concepts of colonizers. Christianity is one of many ways in which the slavemasters left their legacies in the lives of their slaves. Christianity has no benefit to the economic and intellectual survival of black people or brown people. Simply put, Christianity is a setback, an impasse, and a deterrent.

Have black people benefitted from religions?
The answer is no. We are "stuck" in our oppressors' religions from Islam to Christianity. As black people, the historical information that would allow us to
completely free ourselves from the "white savior" grip has been with-held. As a result, we have been worshipping God through the lens of Europeans. There
are still black people who hold images of a white jesus as they pray. This is abnormal behavior. This is the psychological aftermath of being marginalized for so long that even the ways we worship are related more to Europe's conclusions.

Old Testament and misinformation
More reading on "We The Black Jews." Drawing some conclusions about the evidence in the book and connecting that to actual happenings. The Old Testament has many historical references, which are connected to other areas of history, which are not preached by religions. There is so much to learn, because the bible does not give the full history. Instead, researchers have been the heroes of the day, because they examined the bible and worked to connect the stories to actuality. Sadly, what many of those researchers would uncover was blatant plagiarism.
