Passion of Christ, Hate and Racism
02/27/2004 - The African descent people who keep a historical memory should stay on the sidelines of
the current debate that the Jews inflamed the media with about Mel Gibson?s movie, ?The Passion of the
Christ.? Not only the books supporting the Mediterranean religions (Bible, Torah, Koran) are books of
hate, their hate is specifically concentrated against Black Africans, the Biblical Egyptians, Pagans and
Sinners, descendants of Ham the second son of Noah damned by God.

It is unquestionable that African Americans used the Bible as an ally in their quite successful struggle for
human rights. But this does not erase the historical evidence that the Bible justified the systems of slavery,
segregation and colonialism.
From Africa, Haiti, the Caribbean, to the Black neighborhoods in the United States these racist and
hateful systems? indelible consequences imposed a status of under-human fate to the African descent
people. The Bible had built a European culture of hate, which Gibson does not exaggerate but confirms
instead in his movie.
Despite the fact that none of those who uncover the Nile ancient civilization on a daily basis ?
Egyptologists, Archeologists and Historians ? has ever found any single evidence of either the character of
Moses or the famous Biblical exodus, majority of those who read the Bible believe that the Bible is not
just a bunch of mythological tales with the objective to support the supremacy of a Western, White culture.
Despite the fact that no Roman historical accounts(1) exhibit any single evidence of the character of Jesus
Christ, especially the strange star having supposedly attracted the Three Wise Men in the so protected
Roman territory of Palestine without drawing the attention of the astronomers? community, at its peak in
the time, majorities of Bible readers believe Jesus really existed.
Yet, in the name of characters that have never existed, Christians, Jewish and Muslims have inflicted about
1,700 years of wars of religions to the Humanity since the First century, marked by terrorism, genocides,
unspeakable violence, looting and destructions that continue to shake our world. This is non exhaustive list
of Christian wars: over 400 years of Civil Wars in Christian Europe (68-1995), over 100 years of
Religious Wars amongst Christians (1081-1648), over 177 years of Christian Crusade Wars in the
Middle East (1095-1272), over 1,000 years of Wars by the Christian Powers of Europe (755-1641).
It wouldn?t have been otherwise since the Bible incites to violence and hate. A reading of the Genesis and
an analysis of the Moses? irascible and revengeful God, who turns a blind eye to the presents, especially
gold, that the Egyptians gave Moses on his way to exodus, and executes, amongst other unjustified
atrocities, the killings of all Egyptian new born babies, including Egyptian slaves? and cattle?s new born
babies, speaks volumes. The Bible presents Egyptians as if they were not created by its God.
Moses, a name impossible to trace back with historical evidence in the Nile civilization, was probably a
prince of Egypt exiled for a long time in Sinai in the 14th century B.C, who came back to claim the
Pharaonic throne by showing all the mystical signs necessary ? a well known tradition to selecting chiefs
and kings even in contemporary Africa -, but he was overthrown by Ramses I. One of the reasons
advanced to deprive Moses of the Pharaoh throne was probably that he was not Black, which may
explain his frustration and the racism he instituted against the Egyptians and other Black Africans.
Constantine the First, the Roman emperor in the 4th century who instituted Christianity as the Roman
empire?s religion, is the one (with his successors) who ordered the destruction of temples, the looting of
tombs, the erasing of all Black presence (notably by breaking statutes? noses) in the Nile civilization areas,
and notably the hunting down of African resisting dissidents throughout Nubia, the Aksum kingdom
(Ethiopia), and central and eastern Africa.
Based on the same hate and racism that Moses, the first writer of the Torah/Bible instituted, which was
repeated in the Koran, Muslims later in the 8th century pursued similar persecution, killings and slave
taking in Africa. A couple of centuries later, Africans were victims of a similar and more destructive
terrorism with the Christianity-based systems of slavery and colonialism.
Constantine the first convoked the ecumenical council of Nicaea in 325 and ordered that the Bible be
written and rewritten, which the Vatican councils did, up to recent centuries. Despite about 15 centuries of
writing and rewriting the Bible to make it a universal and supreme book of morale and spiritualism it has
imposed itself as being, and most of all the strongest support for European emperors and kings, one thing
the Vatican council writers did not avoid is racism against Africans.
In fact Jesus and his apostles visited ?all nations on earth?, except African nations. Yet Egypt and North
African nations were part of the Roman Empire that they covered entirely from Palestine to Syria, Turkey,
Greece and Rome.
The hate and incitation to violence the Lord plans to reserve sinners on the day of reckoning are clear in
the following Biblical verses:
Isaiah 13:16: Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled,
and their wives ravished.
Isaiah 13:17: Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold,
they shall not delight in it.
Isaiah 13:18: Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit
of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.
Hosea 13:16: Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the
sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
Even the New Testament is not hesitant to state that it is not promoting the ?God of Love? Christians
pretend it is about.
Luke 14:26: If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and
brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
Christianity is a very costly deadlock for African descent people. Their salvation and humanity recovery is
possible only through a renaissance of their African culture, and not through any proliferation of supposed
African Christian sects and churches that would always fail to rewrite or reinterpret the Bible of the White
?elected people?.

century B.C., which was in full expansion in the First century.
