I'm convinced we're "too religious" to unite as a people. We're unbalanced and unable to maintain the necessary balance long term. I have no confidence in a unified "Black People"; it's just a dream. Though I will continue to preach unity because it is right, I doubt we'll ever truly have unity among us for the betterment of our people. This is one area where all religions are guilty. I'm a proud Christian but I'm also a Black man who understands the importance of faith. The majority of religious Black folks in the Americas and Caribbean are Christian with a great number also in West Africa, and the majority of those in Eastern, North, and Central Africa being Muslim; not to mention the Middle East. Muslims & Christians are killing each other in Africa while Black folks in the U.S. argue over which religion is "blacker".
