A black atheist recently stated in an article she wrote that this is the 
one great tragedy of America. You can be a serial killer, rapist, child 
molester, or just about anything else, and as long as you are 
"religious" you will get more respect in black community than an atheist 
who runs charities, helps the poor, works as a doctor, or anything else. 
Confronted with horrible conditions and hardships while slaves, they 
embraces the "promises" of their slaver's religion so completely that it 
is no ingrained into the culture so deeply that anything can be excused, 
as long as its "religious". Ask one of the descendants of slave owners 
if they think religion is beneficial, they will tell you that they 
*believe* it is. Ask someone growing up in the black communities that 
rose out of the same nasty insanity and they will tell you that they 
***know*** it is. The reason Prop 8 passed is because the wackos staged 
it as an "religious" issue, and the black community fell for it, hook 
line and sinker, so they voted for it, because anything defending 
"religion" is right, no matter how fundamentally wrong it might have 
seemed if presented in secular liberal terms instead. God is on their 
side, in their minds, because he helped them through past tragedies, and 
continues to help them through their present blind refusal to take 
control of their own lives and rise out of the ghetto. Its a self 
perpetuating mess. Insist that everyone else is stacking the deck 
against you, like always, turn to god to solace in your time of 
tribulation, fail to do anything that "solves" the problems, including 
the things you "should do", which is reject people that claim religion, 
but commit crimes (after all, they do so because of the oppression and 
inequity, not because they are not good believers), and when things 
don't get better, go back to step one.

Its ironic, the priests proved to be better slavers than the people 
buying and selling slaves (then again, they have had centuries more 
practice).
