black people,how do you justify praying to the same god as your ancestors' slave masters did?

from what i hear,no one prayed more than slaves,if a god didn't help them,do you really think there's something out there paying attention to your prayers

Update:

dumbass curly kiddo,where in this question am i asking for a handout? i have a job,don't answer if the question is too complicated for you

Update 2:

Richard,i have nothing to get over,i guess some of you guys don't know how to react to a question that's not bashing another race?

    It worked for them as it did for the Israelite coming out of Egypt. The whole world was a slave to someone at one time or another. So get over it.

    Obviously it is the same God.

    God does everything for a reason, he has a destiny for humanity

    There's good and bad

    The good that you see is all the work of God

    The bad- you can blame our society

    Just because there is a God give no one the right to even think about blaming him for anything

    You question makes no sense and there are two Gods. Which one are you talking about. People forget Satan is a God as well.

    EDIT: People didn't understand my answer. My thinking is not really like everyone else's. Satan is a God that doesn't mean I pray to him. I pray to Jesus now how is that the white man's God. Do you now get it?

    Organized religion is mind control.

    Christianity is a cult, there is no God.

    I don't believe in god at all.

    But to say that their prayers weren't answered is a little wrong. It took a while but eventually slavery was abolished.

    Well God did not help the jews either, maybe he decided to sit back and let the humans run the show to see how much hatred they could throw at each other.

    shut the phuck up and stop playing the victim. I am a black man in America and with my hard work, I have made a good life for myself. No one is going to hand you anything, its blacks like you who need to get off their fat butts and get a job.
