COLORISM AT THE CROSS
BY D. DANYELLE THOMAS
She’s Not Dressed in a Way Becoming of a First Lady
Draped from head to toe in a brilliant cerulean blue gown with a plunging neckline, Meagan Good was instantly hit with the swift judgment of religious traditionalists across the country. The wife of a Sony Exec and Seventh Day Adventist minister, Good had, unbeknownst to her, stepped into a world long steeped in rigid code of conduct. There is, by all observed accounts, a formula for becoming and behaving as a First Lady in the church. The First Lady is demure, pious, and visually subdued to the shadow of her husband’s power as the shepherd of the house. A simple Google image search of “Pastor and First Lady” can attest to these observations.

Most of us who are or have been churched have simply accepted this as unquestioned fact. Women of moral character, especially those who profess Christian faith, should behave in a “proper” way. Yet, our long-standing traditions are not biblically based but are a residual effect of the Black church’s history of Colorism at the Cross.

HISTORY OF COLORISM IN THE BLACK CHURCH
Let’s with defining this concept. Colorism is prejudice or discrimination against individuals with a dark skin tone, typically among people of the same ethnic or racial group.

Even if you don’t know the concept by name, you’ve surely seen it in action. Its origins are rooted in slavery by the practice of putting lighter-complexioned slaves in the “privileged” position of house labor and deeper hued slaves in the field. Despite fairer hues being evidence of rape at the hands of white men, the seeming ease of working in the house compared to the fields began the decades long “light skin vs. dark skin” war in our community. The church, which has been shilled as a place of refuge and hope for our ancestors, was not impervious to this phenomenon.

In his work The Black Bourgeoisie, E. Franklin Frazier said that, “Even in their religious affirmations, the descendants of the free mulattoes held aloof from the Negro masses.” Much like fraternities and sororities at the turn of the century, so too was the church divided by skin tone. Those of lighter hues tended to place their religious affiliations within historically white denominations such as Episcopalian, Catholic, and Presbyterian. As history tells it, the Black church had its own paper bag tests. While some churches literally used paper bags, others used the “comb test”, an exercise where a fine tooth comb was used in the hair. If the comb couldn’t pass with ease, the congregant wouldn’t be extended the right hand of fellowship. Similar tests included the door test, where churches would paint their doors the darkest shade of brown allowable to become a member of their congregation.

But why would a people, much less a church, continue the problematic practice of colorism and color-codes once free from the systems that instituted it?

WASHED WHITE AS SNOW
The Black Church was not impervious to the cultural norms of the time. Whiteness was (and is) prized as the penultimate marker of civility. Basically, as long as society kept pushing whiteness as the standard of normal that every other ethnicity to strive towards, colorism was always going to be a problem. Mix up those attitudes with a little evangelical Christianity and you’ve got yourself a heap-a trouble.

Much like present day, the lighter skinned Black person faired better than their darker counterparts in several regards. That is not to say that light skinned people didn’t face the racism, classism, and other systems of oppression endemic to being Black in America. So you can save your light skinned tears in the comments about “but we all Black, doe.” Yes, the one drop rule makes us all definitively Black, but enduring racialized stereotypes in that time (and today) concluded that the presence of whiteness somehow lessened the negativity of Blackness. Light skinned Blacks were more often given work opportunities outside of domestic jobs. While light skinned Blacks, when their Blackness was known, were never accepted as white, their Blackness was more tolerated than a darker skinned person.

The seeds of colorism can also be traced to the white supremacist theological dogma of Evangelical Christianity. Black was (and is) traditionally associated with death, sin, and evil while white is associated with purity, innocence, and holiness. Even God had to be, by default, portrayed as white. You can probably see where this is going.

Many denominations of Christianity teach of the flesh (body) as inherently evil and wrought with iniquity, keeping us away from the perfect holiness of God. With that logic, black flesh was even more inherently evil than white flesh. Light complexioned Blacks, with their desire to maintain the favor afforded to them by White Gaze, turned this white supremacy inward and began to discriminate against their deeply hued brothers and sisters–even in the church.

WHERE ARE WE NOW?
While colorism is decisively extinct in the modern Black church, its remnants remain. Part of the idea of whiteness as purity, holiness, and innocence also has implications of sexuality. Whiteness or, in the case of Black folks, lightness is piety, demure and subdued behavior. Blackness beyond that of a paper bag is associated with promiscuity, Sapphire-stereotype, and evil. Essentially, whiteness is sanctified while Blackness is demonized.

Success of the First Lady formula is dependent on its performance of whiteness by mimicking the associations of colorism. Proper First Ladies are not promiscuous or immodest in dress or behavior. They are neither loud nor boisterous in speech, always deferring to their husband in exaggerated submission. Meagan Good was criticized not because she was inherently wrong but because her actions didn’t pantomime the long held performance of whiteness. Her daring to display her sexuality, which was very likely done with the consent of her husband, could be too closely associated to blackness while unearthing the church’s yet unhealed white supremacist doctrine.

If you were somehow lucky enough to pass the paper bag test you might not ever get pass the fine tooth comb test to weed out kinky haired Blacks.

The Pandemic is the culling of man through poisonous vaccines that lead intended targets with serious side effects and/or death. The purpose is the alter the consensus reality by removing those not in agreement with a world pagan order. Right now the Abrahamic faiths through Christianity and Islam are dominating the world collective mentality. This means abominations like child marriage, pedophilia, sodomy, witchcraft, human sacrifice and cult prostitution are seen as evil. By changing the consensus reality everything deemed evil would become good and everything deemed good would become evil. Do not underestimate evil because these people have grown up in occult families and have no respect for the Supreme Being. They see only the ends that justify the means. They are without laws and restraint as we would be. History speaks of many pagan societies being forced by the sword to abandon their evil human sacrifice religions by the Roman Catholic Church for power. And now that same pagan Rome is unleashing these pagans through the New Brotherhood initiated by Pope Francis.

These pagans devils are trying to change the order of what comes first and what comes last. In terms of culture homosexuality would be considered good and and heterosexuality would be considered bad. Whoever is the strongest will become the law instead of all men considered equal under the law. The New World Order is turning the whole world upside down to put paganism first and the Abrahamic faith last. They are doing this by mass murdering millions through the vaccines and world chaos in order to change the consensus reality. They are calling it climate change as a code world because the climate they desire to change is the cultural one. They want to open all borders to where paganism, homosexuality and witchcraft is legal everywhere and Yahwe's law is overthrown.


They even admit that their response to the virus hoax caused more death and chaos I.e Pandemonium.

Gay Is the New World Order.

If you are not sick that means your immune system is working fine. Therefore tampering with it is totally unwise and may have severe consequences.

Human sacrifice will be the norm of the New World Order as people revert back to pagan practices for practical solutions. Whenever there has been a downfall of civilization ignorant idolatry has risen. Yes people actually believe killing someone will change their fortune.

EUROPE
Nuns Raped Girls With Crucifixes as Female Pedophilia Was Covered Up by the Church
UNFORGIVEABLE

ROME—“Marie” was placed in a French Catholic boarding school for “young girls from good families” when she was in the fifth grade. She remembers a nun who would come to her class every day to choose a student to help her with Mass. But the nun wasn’t looking for someone to help her. She was looking for a victim.

“I was 11 and looked 9. She would choose me once every two or three times,” she recalls. “She would take me to her office, lock the door, and then draw the curtains. After which she would put me on her knees to make me read the gospel according to Saint Paul or another saint, while she squeezed me with one hand to her chest and pulled down my panties with the other hand. We were of course in pleated skirts and not in pants. It terrified me and paralyzed.”


“Marie” couldn’t talk to her devout Catholic parents about the abuse until a friend convinced her to do so. The result, she says, was catastrophic. “You are really a pervert, a vicious liar. How dare you say such things?” her parents told her. In fact, her parents had told the nuns that she was being sent to boarding school because she needed to be tamed. “I was truly [a gift] for this nun... because she knew full well that she did not risk anything.”

The abuse lasted the whole year. At the age of 35, “Marie” told her mother again about the abuse. “My mother blissfully told me that it was impossible for a nun to whom she entrusted her daughter to abuse a girl,” she says. “Female pedophilia exists and unfortunately the media never talk about it.”

“Marie” was certainly not alone. Dozens of other victims of priests, nuns, and Catholic school personnel in France form the basis of a 2,500-page report released Tuesday by a special commission led by Jean-Marc Sauvé. While 80 percent of the victims were young boys between the ages of 10 and 13, many young girls were abused as well, and not only by priests. Nuns used crucifixes to rape little girls or forced boys to have sex with them, too.

The commission spent nearly three years combing through complaints and press reports and interviewing victims going back to the 1950s. Of the 3,000 abusers identified by the commission, two-thirds are priests. They found that priests and nuns alone abused around 216,000 children, but that the number climbs to 330,000 when they counted abuse at the hands of non-clergy who worked in Catholic schools and other institutions. The report only covers minors; the authors, who include scholars, psychologists, and law enforcement officials, say there could be many young men and women over the age of 18 who were also victims.

Their summary is damning, determining that the Catholic Church in France showed “a deep, cruel indifference toward victims.”

Olivier Savignac was another of those victims. He wanted to believe the priest in his home parish in France was a devout man. But when the priest asked him to take off his clothes and lie on the bed in a room at a Catholic summer camp when he was 13 years old, he knew something wasn’t right. “I perceived this priest as someone who was good, a caring person who would not harm me,” said Savignac, who now heads a group for victims of clerical sex abuse. “But it was when I found myself on that bed half-naked and he was touching me that I realized something was wrong.”

Savignac says the abuse, which went on for years, damaged him for life: “It’s like a growing cyst, it’s like gangrene inside the victim’s body and the victim’s psyche.”


Only 22 of the thousands of cases of criminal pedophilia qualify under French law for legal action. More than 40 cases that are past the statutes of limitations have been forwarded to the French Catholic Church in hopes that the perpetrators will be punished. On average, each perpetrator abused 70 children. The president of the French Conference of Bishops, Eric de Moulins-Beaufort, said the church is “appalled” by the report. “I wish on that day to ask for pardon, pardon to each of you,” he told the victims. Pope Francis also expressed “sorrow” over the findings, saying he will pray for those affected. “His first thoughts are with the victims, with great sadness for their wounds,” Francis said in a statement through his press office, adding that he hoped the French church would now “undertake a way of redemption.”

Survivor Francois Devaux, who founded the victims' group La Parole Liberee, attended the presentation of the report. “You are a disgrace to our humanity,” he said, addressing the church as a whole. “In this hell, there have been abominable mass crimes... but there has been even worse: betrayal of trust, betrayal of morale, betrayal of children.”
