The Prince of Persia is using Race to divide the black brethren from Christ...NO CHRISTIAN SHOULD FOLLOW A MOVEMENT THAT CAN'T EMBRACE THE SLOGAN "ALL LIVES MATTER".
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour... 1 Peter 5:8
"A recorded prayer for Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd played on repeat as Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors shredded sheets of paper with the words “police”
and “white racism.”
In the background, a pair of wings hung against a wall as candles lit up the room. Cullors stood in the middle of the wings, shredding.
After the performance, Melina Abdullah, co-founder of Black Lives Matter-Los Angeles, joined Cullors in a discussion that touched on the role that spirituality and prayer has played in the movement.
"Part of our calling as people who do this work for Black lives is to lift our people up, both in their living, but also in their death,”
Cullors said. "The need to lift our folks up feels so incredibly spirit-driven for me."
Abdullah and Cullors touched on the practice of calling out the names of the victims that they advocate for in protests and demonstrations. It's kind of a way to invoke their spirits, Abdullah said.
“It is literally almost resurrecting a spirit so they can work through us to get the work that we need to get done,” she said.
By highlighting their names, Cullors said she feels "personally connected and responsible and accountable to them, both from a
deeply political place but also from a deeply spiritual place.”
Cullors touched on West African traditions that center on remembering ancestors.
Cullors, who grew up Jehovah's Witness, said she "was always someone who almost obsessed about our (Black) ancestors."
"I wasn’t raised with honoring ancestors. ... As I got older and started to feel like I was missing something, ancestral worship became really important," she said.
The women also touched on their tradition of praying and pouring libations during demonstrations.
After each name, Abdullah poured libations on the ground as the group in return chanted "Asé." The Yoruba term is "often used by practitioners of Ifa, a faith and divination system that originated in West Africa," Farrag wrote.
Abdullah on Saturday said it took her almost a year before she realized Black Lives Matter was much more than a racial and social justice movement.
"At its core, it's a spiritual movement," she said."
