Why are White people haunted?

 
Why does it seem as if White people are the only people who get possessed, haunted, and are victims of demonic activity?  (That is, if you believe people can become possessed, haunted, or victims of demonic activity in the first place.)

One almost never sees non-White people on paranormal shows.  I've seen one Black woman (married to a White man), perhaps four Black guys, two Asian fellows - and one of them was Daniel Hooven of The Paranormal Syndicate, and a Native American or two.  Usually, when you see Native Americans, they are there to cleanse the places of these hauntings and whatnot.  All the rest of the people have been White. 



Some might say that it is because there are far more White people in the United States than any other race.  I have spoken about this with others and their reasoning was that because of all the evil, barbaric, and hateful things that the Caucasian race has done to others over the centuries, they are under attack by demons more.  I am not certain I totally agree with this but the White people I've known over the years have been the type I wouldn't trust with my life if it came down to that.

Black people, at least Black Americans as I don't know anything about Blacks in other countries, tend to be far more religious than any other ethnic group.  I think Black Americans turned to religion during the times of slavery, Black Codes, Jim Crow, and otherwise being treated worse than dogs.  They looked to God, Jesus, and that mythical place called Heaven because their lives on earth were Hell.  Blacks today still believe wholly in the myth of religion and being treated fairly and loved in an afterlife, whereas on earth they are nearly universally disliked and mistrusted.



Whites, on the other hand, are almost globally loved and held up as the saviors of the world even though they practically destroyed it (and other races as well).  One could say that, because of all the terror perpetrated by the White race, running about the Southland dressed in white sheets scaring the superstitious, newly freed slaves, and lynching mainly innocent Black men for imagined crimes against White women while picnicking or just out of church (some traveled miles to view these spectacles; even children watched them, as one can see by examining the dozens of photos that exist from these evil times). 

Perhaps being haunted, attacked by demons, and possessed is the price White people must pay for the sins of their fathers.

Voodoo is a religion Part 2

Hollywood enjoys making fun of Voodoo.  Movies like 'The Serpent and The Rainbow', 'The Skeleton Key' (though this one was more Hoodoo than Voodoo), 'Angel Heart', and 'Voodoo Academy' either poke fun at the religion of Voodoo, or make it out to seem like something evil...dark...and extremely dangerous.

If people did the same with Christianity or Judaism, there would be an international outcry.  However, it is okay to belittle the adherents of Voodoo just because they don't believe in the same mythical beings that Christians and Jews do.  (Why did I not add Muslims?  They are made fun of in films just as other non-Christians and non-Jews are.)



There are practices associated with Voodoo that simply are not true.  Under 'Myths and misconceptions' on the Wikipedia site, this entry does a better job than I could of explaining this:

Vodou is often associated with the lore of Satanism, zombies and "voodoo dolls". Zombie creation has been referenced within rural Haitian culture,[33] but is not a part of the Vodou religion. Such manifestations fall under the auspices of the bokor or sorcerer rather than the priest of the Loa.

The practice of sticking pins in voodoo dolls has history in folk magic. "Voodoo dolls" are often associated with New Orleans Voodoo and Hoodoo (folk magic) as well the magical devices of the poppet and the nkisi or bocio of West and Central Africa.

The dark side of Vodou is often a dramatic device of modern horror and action-adventure movies such as The Serpent and the Rainbow and Live and Let Die (part of the Ian Fleming James Bond series).



If anyone would study Voodoo, they would learn that practitioners of black magick within Voodoo are shunned by followers of this religion. An excellent site to learn more of the truth about Voodoo is True Voodoo.  So what if practitioners conduct rituals, spells, and such?  Do not the followers of Christianity and Judaism do the same within their belief systems?

To me, Voodoo is more of a natural religion for American Blacks than is Christianity, which our ancestors were forced into accepting as their religion during the Slavery Holocaust.  In Africa before the coming of the White Man, the natives did not practice Christianity.  They had no knowledge of this religion until the Europeans unfortunately arrived.  Before Christianity made its way to Europe, even Europeans did not follow Jesus Christ.  They adhered to pagan practices, the worshiping of gods and (especially) goddesses.
I hope that my posts on Voodoo open the minds of visitors to this site.
