Weaponized Faith-The Bible and the Chains of Slavery
In this episode of Movement, Rhythm, and Conversations, I will confront one of the most uncomfortable truths about the Bible: it was not only misused by white enslavers, but it was also written in a way that enabled slavery, oppression, and domination. From verses commanding slaves to obey their masters, to laws endorsing genocide and silencing women, scripture provided the blueprint that European colonizers weaponized against African people.
Join me as I break down how the so-called “Word of God” was altered, translated, and handed to our ancestors as a tool of control, even stripped into versions like the infamous “Slave Bible.” With historical examples from Nat Turner’s rebellion to Harriet Tubman’s defiance, this conversation uncovers how faith was manipulated to chain the body and the mind. It’s time to ask the real question: was this just the wickedness of men, or is the system of religion itself flawed?
Unchain your mind. Reclaim your soul.
