 Christianity and Black Oppression:

 Duppy Know Who Fe Frighten asks: 

How is it that blacks have been 

Christianized for more than
   four hundred years and yet 

blacks are stereotyped as morally

and mentally inferior? At the 

very first encounter between 

Europeans and Africans, Africans
   were perceived as “pagan”, “heathen”, 

and “devil worshippers”.  

The tool that was to transform Africans,

it was postulated, would be the 

Christian religion. In spite of over 

four centuries of Christianity, the 

perception of blacks as morally and mentally
   inferior has not changed much. Blacks, 

it would appear, carry a stigma that is
   genetic and therefore can be transmitted.  


Christianity and Black Oppression: Duppy Know Who Fe Frighten 

also addresses the issue as to why there has not been a radical change in the perception of blacks in spite of centuries of blacks’ investment of an inordinate amount of time, energy and money in the Christian religion.  

Green argues that Blacks were forced to
surrender their African world view and adopt a European Christian world
view.  Black history and culture are
marginalized, and at times demonized, within Christianity, and this is
transferred to other areas of the lives of blacks. In light of the fact
that Christianity is considered to be an egalitarian religion, with a God who
is benevolent and who intervenes in peoples’ lives, and considering the reality
of black oppression, the question then arises as to whether blacks are subjected
to “divine racism”
