With all due respect to the gentlemen; Ignorance is bliss.

Just two points.

Point #1:
You can tell they never read the history of Ethiopia to know that though they were never colonized they had the first church and established Christianity in Ethiopia way before Europe. Question if the religion of the colonizers was to subjugate the Ethiopians, how come for hundreds of years the Ethiopians embraced Judaism and Christianity and remained uncolonized by the so called owners of the religion ?

A few links though Wikipedia is not acceptable in scholastic work we can start from there:

In fact Haile Selassie traced his root to King Solomon >> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haile_Selassie

Point #2:

The REAL church (not REAL) did not come to subjugate the colonized. The REAL church brought western education that helped many of the local communities and removed man backward traditions that was unacceptable by many African cultures already.

The Killing of twins for example was stopped in southern Nigeria especially among the great Effik people by Marry Slessor a Christian Missionary at great cost to her life >> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Slessor

Our great Samuel Ajayi and his family were captured by Fulani slave raiders when he was about twelve years old. This took place during the Yoruba civil wars, notably the Owu wars of 1821–1829. He accompanied James Schön, a missionary among other things to stop internal slave trade. He also translated the Bible into Yoruba, compiling a Yoruba dictionary and also compiled a vocabulary of the Yoruba Language.

I can go on and on with other examples but my point is that the single narrative that the colonizers brought Christianity/church/priests to oppress the colonized is faulty on many counts.

It may have been their(The Royal Niger Company) intention but REAL Christianity brought emancipation and not subjugation.

Sadly, many Africans especially African-Americans do not know their own history and its understandable though not acceptable.
