David Banner delivered a provocative message while speaking with Jamal Bryant, offering candid thoughts on Christianity, history, and Black identity.
During the discussion, Banner said he rejects anything tied to the belief system of slave masters, explaining that this history deeply shapes how he views Christianity today. He emphasized that his stance is rooted in examining how religion was used as a tool of control during slavery, rather than faith itself.
Banner also made a striking observation about self-perception, claiming that many Black people subconsciously see themselves as white when they close their eyes. According to him, this reflects generations of conditioning and the lingering psychological impact of white supremacy on Black self-image.
The comments quickly ignited conversation online, with supporters praising Banner for challenging deeply ingrained ideas and critics pushing back on his framing. As he’s done throughout his career, Banner used the moment to spark uncomfortable but necessary dialogue about history, faith, and the ongoing struggle for true self-definition.
David Banner says he doesn’t like anything that the slave master believed in while speaking on Christianity to Pastor Jamal Bryant, & says most Black people see themselves as white people when they close their eyes.
