A humanist friend of mine, who is African American, wrote a book telling
African Americans that a white Jesus is bad for their self-worth. Black

It says: Do you agree or disagree with Dr. Christopher Bell's thesis that Jesus is a "white male figure" and that when Blacks worship him they of harming themselves spiritually and psychologically. (He doesn't believe he can convince theologians to not worship God, but not worshipping Jesus is a start.)

‘Jesus worship’ hurts the black community!

A new book explains why and how!

THE BLACK CLERGY’S MISGUIDED WORSHIP LEADERSHIP
ISBN# 9781-4251-7806-2
By Dr. Christopher C. Bell Jr.

“‘Jesus worship’ is equivalent to ‘white male worship’ and is
detrimental to the mental and emotional health of black people,” argues
Dr. Christopher C. Bell Jr. In this book, Dr. Bell cites cogent
educational and behavioral reasons to explain why and how the
glorification and worship of the ancient, Roman-made, white male,
Christian idol, Jesus Christ is not only idolatrous, but how such
worship subliminally makes black people complicit in their own
psychological oppression. Specifically, Dr. Bell provides information to
show that:
a. The Jesus worshipping (white male worshipping) culture of the black
community subliminally afflicts many black people with a deleterious
white superiority syndrome (WSS) that leads to low self esteem,
psychological dissonance, and emotional and spiritual depression
resulting in self-limiting beliefs and aberrant behavior such as; low
academic achievement motivation among black adolescents, mutual
alienation between black men and women, increased feelings of hate
toward whites and other blacks, and increased stress and other health
related problems in black males;
b. The Jesus worshipping (white male worshipping) customs of the black
community reinforces, in both white and black people, the racist notion
of white male superiority in the same ways as white racial
discrimination and white racial aggression;
c. The white male worshipping (Jesus worshipping) folkways of the black
community are mentally oppressive and emotional emasculating to many
young black men who after years of embedment in such a culture feel
alienated, demeaned, and angry, and react in ways that lead to high
rates of recalcitrance, self abuse, crime, violence, and incarceration;
d. The Jesus worship (white male worship) tradition within the black
community is a black clergy-administered carryover from black peoples’
past experiences as chattel slaves, and this tradition unwittingly
ensures that black people continue to learn and believe, as their slave
masters would insist, that “whiteness and the white male Christian power
structure are anointed and approved by God”; a result that now leads to
behavior and sentiments reflective of a slave mentality and a “low
caste group” self-image;
e. The Jesus worshipping (white male worshipping) culture within the
black community subliminally diminishes and demeans black manhood while
buttressing, elevating, and glorifying white manhood; a result that
stokes a latent anger, a temperament of violence, and self-injurious
behavior in many young black men while promoting a sense of racial
superiority in many white men.

Dr. Bell argues that to neutralize the above negative effects of “Jesus
worship,” the black clergy must stop teaching black people to glorify
and worship Jesus Christ and begin teaching them a “new Christianity”
that espouses WORSHIPPING ONLY GOD the creator and sustainer of life and
recognizes Jesus as a human being and prophet. Why? Because this “new
Christianity” would promote Jesus Christ from the status of an
unbelievable, make-believe, superstition-based, supernatural,
extra-terrestrial god-character to the status of a believable,
historically feasible, real life human being and prophet; and young
black men will be able to relate to a “Prophet Jesus” and to his
teachings with a sense of rationality, human commonality, and
self-respect. None of these relationships is possible between today’s
Christianity and young black men.
Dr. Bell explains that the “new Christianity” is a crucial intellectual
and cultural transformation that black people must undertake if they are
to ever liberate themselves from the damaging psychological effects of
their white male worshipping folkways. He explains further how the black
community with its renown black community uplift organizations (NAACP,
ASALH, UL, SCLC, NNPA, etc.) must work together to persuade a reluctant
black clergy to stop “Jesus worship” and begin “God worship only. Dr.
Bell argues that the “new Christianity” will promote the religious
enlightenment and psychological liberation of black people and mediate
downward the high rates of recalcitrance, anti-social temperament, and
violence in many young black men and thus reduce their plight and plunge
toward incarceration.
