Missing the point of Who Jesus is.

This is so sad to see all these people miss the point of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. The Enemy has blinded these people to the real truth of God! He uses their hurt and pains to keep them confused. Be careful that your education doesn't confuse you and have thinking that you are god. I pray that you know your God, repent your of sins before it is eternally too late. Our lives are a gift from God our Father and creator, and it's such a agame that this one side narrative will sadly lead some away from Him. By creating this docuseries in this manner the producer and all who are involved are perpetuating a false narrative that doesn't align with the BIBLE. Seek God while He may yet be found! Stop making mockery of God and the people of God and pray for understanding. Using Slavey, Slave Masters and other historical hurts throughout this country to shame African Americans into questioning their faith is nothing but a snare to turn them away from the savior Jesus Christ.

About time the obvious was pointed out...

This documentary is long overdue. The black community cannot continue to go down this horrendous path of self destruction and wait around for a savior to "free" them. Listening to some of the preachers tell their congregation ls that you can't be self sufficient and self reliant is absolutely fraudulent. It goes against every principle of success in the United States.I'm glad that the author touched base on the lack of education and ease to which one can obtain a license to minister....but wish he would have also touched on the idea that so many of these preachers are taking home a sizable salary at the cost of the parishioners that are being sold a lie. I think very few of the black ministers are leading because of a calling....it's a paycheck. And a paycheck that can be had without any education or training.Religion can offer people hope...and there's nothing wrong with that. But doing nothing and waiting isn't the answer. All success come from hard work...not from charity. Excellent documentary.
