If Adam and Eve were portrayed as black in a film....

The Loss of Sexual Innocence

 

I thought accepting a black Adam and Eve would be a lot easier considering it is common knowledge that we all originate from Africa.

 

Was Caine the good son or were they both selfish?

 

whites have a nice percentage of black in them

The fact that man evolved from single cell organisms makes this whole thread moot

 

Merry Christmas to you too! lol

But what if just that happened in the Garden of Eden?

 

The entire story behind the Garden of Eden is really a metaphor for the original state of life before humanity evolved into the modern homosexual sapiens and cultivated it into their own means of comfort. There's no fact in what's written in biblical text. But rather, an offering of an idea of how things begin through simplistic nature. And then, we've discovered that life is far more complex than that, as well as the flaw in a story where there were early homosexual sapiens, which is strange and inconsistent with human evolution.

Plus, just recently, it was discovered that modern man actually descended from one particular man in Africa about 135,000 years ago. So your friend and his Mormon belief is inconsistent with actual discovery.

That and the fact that we are all stardust.

 

Abel was, in Caine's view, favored Abel handled animals while Caine was a tiller of the ground (he grew crops that didn't produce much). When Caine committed the world's first murder and became the world's first murderer, his reply when asked by God was, "Am I my brother's keeper?" In a way, it was glib and selfish.

 

I knew it wasn't true. The issue of where humanity came from is another issue.

 

I hadn't seen that film and I remember the image. Mike Figgis was a true film making maverick. From that film to One Night Stand.

 

There's a tendency to attempt to isolate and distinguish blacks from East African civilizations and language families as if they are somehow not "black". The Belgians and French tried something similar in Burundi, Rwanda and the eastern half of the Congo between Hutus and Tutsis. It is not a valid distinction and is only a construct intended to facilitate colonial oppression.

 

Ore stay droppin' knowledge.

 

It's true tho

Same goes for North Africa (I'm looking at you Egypt)

Everyone tries their damnedest to act like it's not really africa and that blacks were never there unless of course they were slaves

History truly is written by the victors and you understand why we want to hold on to the little culture we have left

 

Right. Anything to deny Africa (and Africans) the fullness and diversity of human experience. There can be multiple types of European (Northern, Slavic, Mediterranean, etc) but not African?

 

Thankfully we can pull away from the mainstream lexicon as you suggested

 

Hah, we had black Jesus in our house, but white Jesus at church. I just never really thought about it. To me, growing up, Jesus could have been any race.

 

I'm just saying....this indoctrination shit is real lol

 

It's not easy, but there are alternatives out there. And we do have to (unfairly, in my view) spend an inordinate amount of time doing counter-brainwashing work to undo the effects of indoctrination. It's possible, obviously, or else we wouldn't even be aware of the facts to the contrary that we are offering up in this discussion. It's up to us to make those facts and alternatives as widely known as possible.
