NECESSARY AND ACCESSORY

How can any people be “integrally Islamic,” [or integrally Christian], yet “still seem to be Negro”? P. 471, “East African Antiquities “ WHEN WE RULED “ by Robin Walker (2006) The assertion above was refashioned as a question , by me, purposefully, to see what may be more intrinsic philosophy: culture or religion. “Negro” seems to bind both Islam and Christianity, historically, doctrinally; yet neither religion is governed by Negroes . Identifying what is a Negro, culturally, racially, is as problematic as defining what is Islam or Christianity, culturally, racially, given diversity. Perhaps defining the word “integrally” may ease our plight, our predicament. “Integral” is defined as “necessary to make a whole complete; essential or fundamental.” A person may be whole or complete under either religion, or any religion and in any race. So neither religion is “necessary” nor race but are accessory in the lives of man and woman. Amen.
