[xx-kjom]

Arab Christian vs Arab Muslim. I wanna know what they think of each other.

[gaminglegend]

Black Christians vs Black Muslims would be interesting, especially considering the history of the Civil Rights Movement and the leaders, many of whom were either devout Christians or Muslims

[coalnel]

I feel like this episode had a lot more educated people than the average Jubilee episode. Like it actually felt like a discussion where people who were semi-experts in their particular subjects spoke.

[saustinspeaks]

I’m a black atheist and I cannot imagine actually being offended if someone says amen

[NTH]

Getting mad at someone for saying Bless You when you sneeze is so dense.

[TubeCritic]

This seems to be more about Black Christians vs Pro Black with a hint of Atheism

[g.agenaral]

I love watching black educated men and women have a discussion; this was beautiful

[jamesmorgan]

Watching this made me realize how hungry I am for intelligent and respectful discourse on challenging topics. It's hard to find these days.

[sierraalice]

I’m black and atheist, I don’t agree with that Amen argument. I grew up religious, and it’s just the way I and others talk. I don’t think amen is pushing religion at all

[The_Moderates_Apprentice]

I was born and raised Jewish, but am more agnostic atheist these days. I never got offended or mad when someone would say "merry christmas" or "bless you" or something like that. To this day, I simply say "thanks, you too!" Why? Because I am happy that a stranger took time out of their day to say something nice to me. I never understood why people get offended by such things.

[DominiqueSpeaks]

Educated black men and women having an educated conversation is so refreshing. Thank you for this content!

[ScriptureClips]

Why do they always think black Christianity began during the slave trade. Africa was one of the first places the gospel went.

[ivorykamendi]

i am very proud of how the Black Christian panel represented themselves and also the level of grace they had during the conversation. they did great

[LaurynTamia]

Saying that the black church hasn’t shaped black culture is arguing for the sake of arguing. It’s literally a fact, the next question came up and we’re instantly referencing the black church again.

[devkal]

The moderator did a horrible job. Tyler consistently interrupted others but when they tried to explain their point, he would say let him finish. Clearly someones bias

[Bruhaha]

I'm an atheist but I'm completely with the amen woman. If she says "amen" to me, I don't have to take that personally. I know that's her thing and she's welcome to it. If I choose to go on a big mental sleigh ride about her saying that, she's not responsible for it. And there's something deeply illiberal about holding someone responsible for the offence or contortions they go through simply at hearing a word that was not meant negatively or even particularly religiously. You don't owe everyone perfect peace of mind at the expense of your freedom to say something that you don't mean seriously.

[AshleySaysSo]

Tyler isn't atheist. He's super Pro Black. Please get REAL black atheists on the platform who won't just talk about Pro Black Issues. Let them talk of why they believe there's nobody above.

[queenmommy]

She did not duck and dodge she said its not her expertise. I found that responsible.

[deadbeatdel]

should’ve chose a better moderator for this one. this guy was so rude to let those guys cut off the lady speaking but when she was gonna speak he was like “let him finish”

[ivanlane]

Christianity did not enslave our ancestors. It was the European enslavers who manipulated the scriptures and used Christianity to enslave.
