God Must Be on the Side of the Poor and the Oppressed through the Lense of the black Theology and Liberating Theology

Colonial Christianity has brought misery to the lives of Africans and the people of the Global South. It brought colonisers and imperialists who oppressed, killed, stole the land and the precious minerals of the Africans and the people of the Global South. Christianity was used as a tool of oppression and racial discrimination on the Global and African land. They came to the people’s land with Christianity to save the barbarians from Africa and the global South. This kind of Christianity must be rejected with the contempt it deserves, as it promotes blasphemy of theft, oppression, and poverty of people who are non-white from Africa and the Global South. Christianity must give power and peace to Christians irrespective of their gender, creed, sexual orientation, colour of the skin and the land of origin. It must be the equal answers to their prayers for a prosperous and peaceful life on equal footing.
