Its actually very simple...The slave and the slave owner can't both pray to the same God and realistically expect both of their prayers to be granted. BTW, both are foolish in their prayers to White Jesus anyways. However, I can understand why the white christian would do so. The black christian jus needs his fool ass beat!
Exactly, how can your slave masters religion guarantee your salvation once you've been oppressed all your life and died?
Their version of GOD is not the unconditionally loving, turn the other cheek, do unto others version... no, he's quite different, He mirrors the hatred in their hearts.
Christianity at its core is that all men are created in God's image. If we are all created in God's image, then we must always be equal. That is the foundation of a civil society.
If you cant treat others equally, you are failing as a christian, thus you are wrong, we must outlaw your actions.
Without this, we are in a much worse place. I say this as a black atheist.

Because the terms black, white, and christian are 100% bullshit.
Bingo
I know it's an evangelical atheist's wetdream to see Black people all of a sudden become unbelievers but I don't see that causing a seismic shift in the Black community.
Something else would immediately grab the community's attention because human beings have a need to belong to something.

the black christian DID have his ass beat repeatedly thats how he became a christian...and then theres the psychological damage:
The hierarchization of different population groups was often shored up by the construction of supposedly innate “racial” biological distinctions between them which placed these groups in a “natural” hierarchy and justified the maltreatment of the “lower” orders on this “racial” ladder. Colonialism also involves the construction of cultural hierarchies: the colonizer’s language(s) and cultural forms are claimed to be superior, while those of the colonized are systematically devalued and discriminated against. Sometimes this can be a mere corollary of material hierarchies: the dominant Introduction power imposes the terms of interaction, and colonizers who were too lazy to learn the colony’s language(s) had the means to pressure locals to learn the colonizers’ language(s) instead. Here as well, the highly unequal terms of colonial culture contact become obvious. Cultural hierarchies can also help to legitimate and stabilize material hierarchies. The claim that one culture is worth more than the other can boost the colonizer’s sense of supremacy and assuage potential pangs of guilt about the treatment of the colonized, thus deflecting the risk of anticolonial critique within the colonizer’s own ranks. If the colonizer manages to instill his ideas of cultural hierarchies among the colonized, the latter can come to believe in their own inferiority, which can reduce the risk of resistance: such colonized subjects may either conceive the ambition to imitate the colonizer and voluntarily discard their own culture, or at least resign themselves to their subordinate status even if imitating the colonizer is beyond their wishes or means (e.g., because they cannot afford a European education). Hierarchies between different population groups can also be shored up by exaggerating the extent of the cultural differences that lie between them: colonial ideologies often construct colonizer and colonized as exact opposites, setting up a binary distinction between self and “Other”; and such claims of absolute cultural distinctness are used to legitimate social distinctions, similar to the way that claims of “racial” distinctions are used. Postcolonial scholarship refers to these and related processes as “othering,” often spelling the constructed “Other” with a capital letter.

It’s the difference between worker and boss. A boss prays for better profits and worker prays for better wages.
I dunno, but
The white's read the bible and interpreted it to push manifest destiny dominance across the globe.
The Black's read the same bible, and used it to justify their cowardness and subservience.
