Slave masters used to teach blacks to read the bible in order to control them...
"Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to win their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving."
God bless america!
"Black man running three hundred and sixty degrees. The bible in his hand still on his knees. Gotta ask the other man please, “give me powdered milk and welfare cheese.” - Esham
