sometimes in big Hollywood movies, they'll have these crazy chase ings where somebody jumps or gets thrown from moving car. The person hits the ground and rolls for a bit. Then they come to a stop and pop up and dust themselves off like it was no big deal. Whenever I see that, I think that's rubbish again, thrown out of a moving car, herds away. Worse than that. I was nine years old when my mother threw me out of a moving car. It happened on a Sunday. I know it was a Sunday because we were coming home from church and every Sunday in my childhood met church. We never miss church. My mother was and still is a deeply religious woman, very Christian. Like indigenous people around the world, Black South Africa adopted the religion of our colonizers by adopt. I mean, it was forced upon us. The white man was quite stern. With the native, you need to pray to Jesus, he said. Jesus will save you to Western Native replied. Well, we do need to be saved, saved from you, but that's beside the point. So let's give this Jesus thing a shot. My whole family is religious. But where my mother was Team Jesus all the way, my grandmother balanced her Christian faith with the traditional close that police she grown up with communicating with the spirits of our ancestors For a long time. I didn't understand why so many black people had abandoned their indigenous faith for Christianity. But the more we went to church, and the more I sat in those pools, the more I learned about how Christianity works. If you're Native American and you praise of the wolves, you're savage. If you're African and you praise your ancestors, your primitive. But when a white man prayed to a guy who turns water into wine, well, that's just common sense.
