History Question - about African slaves in US vs. Caribbean

[congamyk]

As the white man's magic (firearms, medicines, Christianity, wireless communication) took over and messed up the way of life that they had known for ages, the indigenous ways had no other option but to evolve or become extinct.

Why do some people constantly drag Christianity into negative contexts?
Please look up the roots of Christianity.
Christianity is not a "white" religion.

Further, Jesus taught that we should treat each other the way we want to be treated.
That is a CLEAR teaching that slavery and abusing others for greed is wrong according to Jesus.
A few greedy, hypocrite "SO CALLED Christian" slave owners tried to justify slavery with lies and deceit.

99% of Americans NEVER OWNED SLAVES.
Further, many white American have ancestors that were indigenous servants, which was also form of slavery.

No offence intended, the reason I included Christianity is due to the fact that Christianity has had a profound influence on the World's indigenous cultures for hundreds of years. I could have also mentioned Islam but I am more familiar with Christianity. I don't see how bringing that into the discussion is neither positive or negative, it is what it is. Whether as slave owners, traders, missionaries, settlers or what ever the situation, religion (as we in the western world define it) in general is one of the factors that has taken it's toll on the tradition way of life for all indigenous people in the world.

If you would like to discuss this further you can PM me because we aren't supposed to discuss religion on the forum because it tends to stir things up a little too much

Christianity is not the "white man's magic", as you claim, it is a sect of Judaism starting in Jerusalem.

Today, 90%+ of black Americans claim Christianity as their personal faith.
