Prepare to be blown away by Jamie Foxx’s electrifying performance. It’s his comeback musical, stand-up, and comedic show, “What Had Happened Was…”. It’s not your average routine but a powerful and intense celebration of the Christian nature of the Black community. Foxx centered his act on his family’s support and faith. In my latest book, Brazenitout 2, I dove into the Abrahamic roots that have shaped the Black community for generations. I call it the Judeo-African mentality, a rich and diverse fusion of faith and culture. During the recent US general elections, I couldn’t help but notice the stark contrast between the secular approach of the government and the deeply ingrained Christian values of the people. It was no surprise to me when Vice President Kamala Harris lost the election to President-Elect Donald Trump.
Ask around, and you’ll find that most Americans name abortion rights as one of Harris’ central policies. However, when it comes to Trump, they would likely mention immigration. The election was a battle between the patriarchy and radical feminism, and the divide between these two ideologies has never been more evident. Trump won because of our traditional religious stem. Meanwhile, in this standup, Jamie Foxx bridges the gap between these opposing belief systems and unites the audience through the common thread of Abrahamic religion. Through his multi-talented approach, he weaves experiences that connect with the audience. That comedy show is a powerful tribute to the religious influence that shapes and unites Americans. Get ready to be moved, enlightened, and entertained like never before.
