You are most likely referring to Paul Young's book, The Cabin where Repose is a similar version. Plus, you probably mean a Christian monotheistic god. Because in general, there are black goddesses among the world's pantheon.
Paul Young's idea is generally funny, but more like an artistic device. From the point of view of official dogma, the idea that God is a black woman is not well-off.
At least in the movie “The Green Mile”, the main character is very similar in various ways to Jesus – selflessly works miracles, suffered for others, does not use his supernatural abilities to save himself, and so on. Therefore, in the alternate reality of Stephen King and Frank Darabont, the authors of the film's script, the big black man is practically Jesus.
Are there any other theories?” To be honest, I've never heard anyone claim that God is a white male. Or Asian. The color of God's skin is rarely discussed at all. For God's sake, does he have skin? And if so, does he take care of her? Maybe he also brushes his teeth? Is your hair long or short? If he's a woman, he probably is. So she combs her hair in the morning. Or maybe he's a short-haired woman? Let's go further. What if the creator of the universe is a transsexual? A transvestite? And how old is he?” Does he look like a grandparent,or like a child? God, was he even human? What if his skin is green and his eyes are like a snail's?
Stop talking about all this stuff. God is neither an uncle nor an aunt. He doesn't have a racial identity. God is all of us.
There is. Not only the theory, but even extensive information. Thanks to modern technologies and the ubiquitous availability of information, what previously could only be learned by spending many years traveling to remote corners of the world, such as the Himalayas, and undergoing long-term training with great sages, can now be easily read on wikipedia. However, there is a difficulty, you need to know which query to enter and then what to do with this knowledge.
Now, God is a black woman.
Kali (Skt.??????, Kālī IAST, “black”)— – the dark and violent form of Parvati, the dark Shakti, and the destructive aspect of Shiva. Mother goddess, symbol of destruction. Kali destroys ignorance, maintains the world order, and blesses and liberates those who seek to know God. In the Vedas, her name is associated with Agni, the god of fire.
Kali and Siva, and their other names Durga and Mahadev, are the male and female incarnations of the Supreme Godhead in the material world. In the material world, there is no one who surpasses them in importance.
The etymology of the name is related to the concepts of “time” and”black”. The name Kali is first mentioned in the Rig Veda. Also known as Kalikamata (“black earth mother”), Kalarathi (“black night”), among Tamils— as an Ant. Kalike/Kalika� is a form of the name Kali.
She is depicted as a thin, four-armed, long-haired woman with dark skin. Usually naked or dressed in a panther skin[source not specified 899 days]. In her upper left [source not specified 899 days] hand, she holds a bloody sword that destroys doubt and duality, in the lower left, a demon's head, symbolizing the cutting off of the ego. With her upper right hand, she makes a protective gesture that drives away fear, while with her lower right hand, she blesses you to fulfill all your wishes. The four hands symbolize the 4 cardinal directions and the 4 major chakras.
The three eyes of the goddess control three forces: creation, preservation, and destruction. They also correspond to three tenses: past, present, and future, and are symbols of the Sun, Moon,and lightning. On it is a belt made of human hands, which denote the inexorable action of karma.
Its dark blue color is the color of infinite space, eternal time, and death. This symbolism draws attention to the superiority of Kali over the mortal realm. In the Mahanirvana Tantra, it is said, “The black color includes white, yellow, and all the other colors. Similarly, Kali encompasses all other beings.” The black color symbolizes an unclouded state of pure consciousness.
The garland of skulls that it is decorated with means a series of human incarnations. Skulls are exactly 50� – according to the number of letters of the Sanskrit alphabet. The head that Kali carries is the ego, the idea of “I am the body”, which she destroys. The skulls also show her ability to free the mind from identifying with the body. This garland symbolizes wisdom and strength. The tousled hair of the goddess Kali (elokeshi) forms a mysterious curtain of death that envelops all life. The corpse on which it stands indicates the transitory and inferior character of the physical body.
The blood-red tongue represents the guna rajas, the kinetic energy of the universe, which is symbolized by the red color.
Kali resides in anahata. It interacts with the physical heart; in this form it is called Rakti-Kali (red Kali), the pulsation of the heart. But beauty is not only a charm, it is also a horror and even death. Kali— unattainable beauty, unrewarded love. Beauty is unfathomable because it has no form.
Kali symbolizes eternal life. Eternal life has a price. Only that which is immortal can be infinite, since nothing can change its nature. The mortal and transition process will end sooner or later. To benefit from the eternity that is Kali, we must sacrifice our mortal nature. That is why Kali seems frightening and destructive to the ordinary eye.
Kali� is a multi-faced Goddess who guides life from conception to death. It symbolizes the cosmic power of eternal time.
On the cosmic level, Kali is associated with the elements of air or wind, vayu, prana. This force pervades the universe as the energy of transformation. It acts quickly and leaves no traces behind, causing radical changes. Kali is the perception of the lightning bolt of truth, which denies all illusions. It embodies creation, preservation, and destruction, and evokes both love and horror.
In the human body, Kali exists in the form of breath or the life force (prana). The symbol of Kali was the crescent moon.
