[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] Thanks for the exact quote though I do not know Krio at all I can pass it onto one of my old friends who do. But doesn't the Xian's devil correspond to the orisha Eshu (sp)? And isn't Eshu invoked no matter what the request? I balk at equating practice of African spirituality automatically as devil worship. That seems the height of Eurocentricity to me. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Recovering Afro-holic: [qb] Here is the rest of the prayer (Kreyol/Creole): [b] Bon Dje ki fè la tè. Ki fè soley ki klere nou enro. Bon Dje ki soulve lanmè. Ki fè gronde loray. Bon Dje nou ki gen zorey pou tande. Ou ki kache nan niaj. Kap gade nou kote ou ye la. Ou we tout sa blan fè nou sibi. Dje blan yo mande krim. Bon Dje ki nan nou an vle byen fè. Bon Dje nou an ki si bon, ki si jis, li ordone vanjans. Se li kap kondui branou pou nou ranpote la viktwa. Se li kap ba nou asistans. Nou tout fet pou nou jete potre dje Blan yo ki swaf dlo lan zye. Koute vwa la libète kap chante lan kè nou. [/b] If you know anything about the history of Haitian worship during slavery, the people masqueraded their loas with christian saints and personages. The god or loa invoked (in the prayer) is Ogoun, since he is the god in charge of military campaigns. [QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: Please elucidate. I see nowhere no mention of any loa or orisha. I only see a rallying cry similar to one USA patriot minus any invocation of deity. There must be more you're not telling us. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Recovering Afro-holic: [qb] Here is the Boukmon pact/curse he placed on all descendants of Haiti. [b]We swear to destroy the whites and all they possess. Let us die rather than fail to keep this vow[/b] (Parkinson, 1978). Pat Robertson was some what correct in what he claimed, although it can be argued whether the loa that Boukmon made the pact w/was a devil or God. I venture to say a devil. Contracts with a death sentence as a punitive clause are usually, if not wholly, ascribed to the Devil. As a Haitian, this tragedy has given me pause. We Haitians really need to re-assess our belief.
