The Family's racism against Blacks

Posted by Researcher on September 17, 2005 at 14:15:50

I read the Berkley article below & when they said that the Family was racist against Blacks, that all non-Christian Blacks were under the curse of Ham, I could immediately hear Family spokespersons denying it per Berg’s ‘change of heart’ quoting the ML where he said he had been mistaken because he, the great Prophet of God, had been misled by things his mommy-wummy had taught him. But as I recall, as James Penn who was part of helping Berg change his mind said, it was all a set-up because Maria realized that the charges of being racist would back-fire bigtime on the Family unless they addressed it.

Meanwhile, Daniel’s entire generation was raised since little kids with quotes like this embedded in their minds. Check out these quotes from ‘The African Nightmare’ ML 201—

1. IN A DREAM I WAS LOOKING AT THE MAP OF AFRICA. All of a sudden it grew all black, and up out of it rose this HUGE MONSTROUS BLACK DEMON, LIKE HE ROSE UP OUT OF AFRICA TO DESTROY THE WORLD! ... But the vision emphasised that it was going to be WITH BLACK AFRICAN POWER THAT THE ANTI-CHRIST IS GOING TO RISE UP AND OVERPOWER THE WORLD. It was as though they were so demon-possessed, so satanic, that the rest of the world would be no match for them.

9. THE MEANING SEEMED TO BE THAT THE WHITES MUST DESTROY AFRICA OR SHE’LL DESTROY THEM! ... It’s like those very savage types symbolise the very worst in man, those bestial looks.—God must have had some reason for turning Ham black.

Maybe somone needs to start a Racist article on XFamily. Even if the Family protests they've changed, doesn't this part of their history need to be preserved for posterity?
