A disturbing interview featured an unidentified white woman proclaiming the ideal version of God in her life was the not biblical representation of God as accepted by Christianity, but rather a black female archetype. A clip featuring a longer conversation circulated the internet where the brief justification for this, in addition to the obvious woke narrative, is that she would feel safe having a momma-type figure holding her and making her feel safe.
“My best self connects to God as a black woman,” the woman opens, to which, conventionally, the black female sharing the space stated she loved that idea, before the other woman continued with her surreal theological vision.
“That’s it for me. But there are times in my journey where I want that perfect father, you know, to say your abuse was wrong, you know, you deserve justice, whatever. But then the best, safest version of God for me is that black woman who holds me, who I feel safe with, who is wise,” she said. Watch that brief but disturbing exchange below:
Interestingly, this concept of a black female as the head of a monotheistic Christian worldview is not relegated to just one virtue-signaling, and very confused, white liberal woman. Indeed, there is an entire syncretism between black identity politics and bastardized Christian teaching that promotes the concept of a ‘Sacred Black Feminine.’
As one such example, a social justice activist named Christena Cleveland has carved out a race-based niche that seeks to dismantle what she calls singularly as the cultural “whitemalegod” and replace it with a heavenly black matriarch. A synopsis for her deranged 2022 book can be found on Amazon, where it details the entire narrative of how Christianity – rather than acknowledge how it pulled mankind into the modern-day world we know with both unprecedented rights, human achievement, and material comfort – is only the root cause of suffering and hatred.
“In this timely, much-needed book, theologian, social psychologist, and activist Christena Cleveland recounts her personal journey to dismantle the cultural “whitemalegod” and uncover the Sacred Black Feminine, introducing a Black Female God who imbues us with hope, healing, and liberating presence,” the book review begins.
“For years, Christena Cleveland spoke about racial reconciliation to congregations, justice organizations, and colleges. But she increasingly felt she could no longer trust in the God she’d been implicitly taught to worship—a white male God who preferentially empowered white men despite his claim to love all people. A God who clearly did not relate to, advocate for, or affirm a Black woman like Christena,” it continues.
“Her crisis of faith sent her on an intellectual and spiritual journey through history and across France, on a 400-mile walking pilgrimage to the ancient shrines of Black Madonnas to find healing in the Sacred Black Feminine. God Is a Black Woman is the chronicle of her liberating transformation and a critique of a society shaped by white patriarchal Christianity and culture. Christena reveals how America’s collective idea of God as a white man has perpetuated hurt, hopelessness, and racial and gender oppression. Integrating her powerful personal story, womanist ideology, as well as theological, historical, and social science research, she invites us to take seriously the truth that God is not white nor male and gives us a new and hopeful path for connecting with the divine and honoring the sacredness of all Black people,” it finishes.
