That's literally... But I'm not trying to diss nobody's theology.
What I'm saying is like...
i first started learning about black liberation theology because my grandmother got me this book and it's basically this dude who at the time was young he was a theologist that was friends with stokely carmichael malcolm x martin luther king right at the turn of this like new you know when they made black sail out i'm black and i'm proud like that was super radical like did not want to be called black at that time right you know what i'm saying so like
black people go through these different, you know, sort of revolutions and identity of being like, Oh no, we not niggas no more.
Oh no, we not colored people no more.
Oh no, we not African American.
Oh no, we not Afro American no more.
Oh no, we not, you know, Negroes, whatever.

Like a thing niggas were screaming at rallies that had people just as scared as Black Lives Matter or if not more scared because it's a response to white power.
So they like, oh, what you mean black power?
Like, so when James Brown did that, it kind of like changed the whole culture and how a lot of people talked about everything like, oh, we could be proud to be black, which is at this time, basically like.
the N word, like we could be proud to be that.
