First, this is NOT about the identification of entities as either White or Black. I leave the question of whether God aligns with forms in this galaxy to theologians!
Second, Igbo thought is not polarized. One can't just mire the discourse on the faith of Christians and others.
Of course, there may be others issues about how oyibo is configured in Igbo or any other thought. This would be highly welcome.
Sincerely,
Obododimma.

Illuminating analysis.Thank you.--
How much of the Oyibo -as- deity concept do you relate to Christian missionary propaganda and the god- is-White syndrome?Would the people discussed, accept Black angels in their spiritual universe, or would these be seen as demons?This, for me, is the litmus test. Needless to say that Islam does not condone representation of spiritual entities, as far as I know.
Any differences between the Christians and others, in the Oyibo -as - deity concept?I assume that there is also an urban- rural divide.
These are some of the questions that came to mind. I noticed that there was no reference, direct or indirect, to religion and its impact on perceptions.

Subject: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Oyibo in Igbo ThoughtThis weekend, I continue looking for trouble (since it also looks for
me!) by examining the figure of the "oyibo" in Igbo discourse. I won't
say more. If have time to spare for this kind of exploration, click on
