And they're having a sad, because doesn't he know it's current year and all Christians were cucked into permanent silence by FACTS AND LOGIC by Youtube athiest videos?!
Well I'm going to be honest here. The only reason why the words "Under God" is in the 'Pledge of Allegiance' and even the motto "In God We Trust" is also on the U.S Dollar was because back in the 1950's the Soviet Union had conducted many anti-religion purges to promote 'State Atheism' and when this happened when the U.S Government (more specifically the Eisenhower Administration) approved of both of these things where 'Under God" was then added to the 'Pledge of Allegiance' and the words "In God We Trust" would also be added onto U.S. currency later on as a form of protest towards the Soviet Union's human rights abuses anyway.
To be honest, I personally don't want these things on any official government programs on the count that the U.S. Constitution (the First Amendment) that states that the government cannot promote any religion or even let alone create state sponsored religion by the way. Now while politicians are able to express their beliefs (they have the right to do so) to me they shouldn't really be allowed to pass laws to promote God, Shiva, Allah or any other deity and belief system officially into the government anyway.
So even with this said, I'm sure the only actual reason why the Democrats are doing this is now is to simply spite Donald Trump and his supporters on the count that they're going full communist (as much as most of them want to deny it) in recent years at this point.
Malcolm X used to be in the black supremacist Nation of Islam cult. He then took a trip to Mecca, and saw people of all races circling the Kaaba. This inspired him to change his religion to traditional Sunni Islam, and start denouncing the Nation of Islam as a cult. The Nation of Islam didn't take to kindly to that, and so they sent an assassin to kill Malcolm X.
The Nation of Islam in general is interesting in itself, since it started the meme amongst urban black communities that Islam was the "traditional religion" of the Africans, when it wasn't (most traditional sub-Saharan West/Central African* religions were animistic polytheism). Islam didn't even really penetrate into the religious practices of ethnic groups such as the Hausa until around the 1400s to 1500s.
*most Black American slaves were of West/Central African descent, primarily Yoruba
The best way I can describe the 'Nation of Islam' is that the Nation of Islam is to Islam what Mormonism is to Christianity anyway.
Now I'm sure most people here should know about the 'We Wuz Kangz' meme but for those that are living under a rock then allow me to explain then.
So the Nation of Islam basically has their own wacky creation myth that makes Scientology almost look less stupid in comparison anyway.
The origin myth (according to the Nation of Islam) goes that where many centuries ago a race of intergalactic demigod black people then came to Earth and established the first functioning civilization. So one of these alien black people was a super scientist black man named 'Yakub' and he was the one that created that white people but Yakub found his creation way too dangerous as they could threaten the rule of the black man so Yakub locked away the white people in caves in Europe but the white people escaped from their cave prisons, they started an uprising and overthrew the black man, and then they took civilization away from the black man for themselves and then they started to rewrite history to make it appear that it was white people that made the notable historical achievements then.
Now I wish I was making this up but this is what the Nation of Islam actually believes and it's beyond parody at this point.
It's the reason why stupid stuff such as this stupid song even exists then.
This whole 'Afrocentrism' thing is only bullshit. The ancient Greeks were not black, Ancient Egypt was not a black civilization, the Samurai of Japan were also not black, Mozart was not a black man, the Israelites were not black nor was Ancient Israel a black civilization either, a lot of the big thinkers from the 'Age of Enlightenment' were not black, William Shakespeare was not black, Beethoven was not a black man, and also name me at least one example of a black civilization in Africa that was on par with Ancient Egypt then. That's what I thought.
It's just fascinating to me how people can believe in such bullshit anyway.
