The True Hebrew Israelites...BLACK PEOPLE

Ok we'll first of all the ancient Egyptians were not Arab and they did in fact depict themselves as black Africans the paintings on the walls of pyramids and tombs are testimony to this fact. Look at king tuts throne or the walls on king ramses ii tomb. Dark skin and Nubian twist hairstyles. Also Africans did in fact build the pyramids proof of this is found In the Sudan where there are more pyramids than all of Egypt. The Ancient Egyptian empire of Kemet stretched from northern Ethiopia through the Sudan( upper Egypt ) and to the nile delta (lower egypt) and went past Canaan and bordered the ancient Sumerians/Babylonians(Persians/ Arabs). To say that the Egyptians of today were the ancient Egyptians of Kemet is like saying the Americans of today are the actual natives. Not true. 2nd they're are many historical accounts of Egypt(including canaan) being invaded by Persian army's (Arabs/Babylonians) before the time of Christ and by the Greeks and Romans up until the time of Christ. The reason for this of course is because of GOLD. King Solomon had lots of gold remember the walls in his temple were gold. And we all know the ancient Egyptians had lots of gold. Oh and weren't ancient gold mines found in Ethiopia? Persians were the first to invade and later the Greeks and Romans. Ok third if you want to get technical the word Semite comes from the word semi which means "almost or half" Now half what?? Well of course half African. There was mixing among Africans and Arabs which is why you have Semitic races. but of course genetically what are the dominant traits? Answer: skin color and hair. So ancient Canaanites and Egyptians did in fact include the Semitic people's and they were all dark skinned and wooly haired. Ok now if you want to tie the bible into all this then READ the bible. Moses was mistaken for an Egyptian by the Pharaoh remember Moses was cast into the Nile by his Hebrew mother to escape Infanticide. Don't you think that if Moses was of a different race than the ancient Egyptians that the pharaoh would have noticed he was hebrew and had him put to death? He was also mistaken for an Egyptian when he went into exile (exodus 2:19). Also Moses had an Ethiopian wife (numbers 12:1) so his descendants were most definitely African. Also read Amos 9:7 and tell me what GOD said about the Israelites. And also don't forget that the Ethiopians did base their monarchy on the belief that King Solomon of Israel had a child with the Queen of Sheba of Ethiopia which is why the last Ethiopian monarch was considered "the lion of Judah". Yeah remember Tafari Mokonnen aka His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie?? Oh and don't forget in the 80's and 90's Israel allowed the CIA to move thousands of Ethiopians to Jerusalem after the communists took over Ethiopia. Just search Operation Moses and Operation Solomon. And just for the record I'm not African or an Afrocentrist I'm just putting all this into perspective because it saddens me that history is being forgotten . on another note Europeans and Eurocentrist have always tried to cover up the past. I'm Mexican and my ancestors who were the Aztec also built pyramids and also had a lot of gold and its no secret that Spanish Europeans tried to bury our cities and they most definitely took the gold. So yeah put that into your pipe and smoke it.

I am grateful to you all, for the knowledge and understanding. To enhance my own journey.

I will start by saying that, scientifically, all of mankind does originate from Africa. This is a very deep and meaningful fact for anyone who feels that people of African descent are either an inferior or a superior people.

However, the notion that the Hebrew people or the Israelites were what we call "black" today is borderline ridiculous. First of all, there is a lot of blatant misinformation in some of these posts that I'd like to address. Israel was a man, and the Israelites were his lot. Interestingly, this means that the Israelite clan actually predates the nation of Israel- though obviously the Israelites were the people who founded the nation of Israel in what was Canaan. The Hebrews were not new to this area, though. Jacob(Israel) was living in Canaan before he reunited with his son Joseph(who had been brought to slavery after his brothers- while they lived in Canaan- pushed him there). Going back further, Abraham(perhaps the grandfather of Judaism, it was he who brought the blessing of his lot) lived in Canaan as well. Specifically, he probably lived in Ancient Sumer or Babylon. The Hebrews were *undoubtedly* from this area, which would make them Semites. The Hebrews were Middle-Eastern, as were the important figures of the New Testament like Jesus and Paul. They weren't black, and they weren't white. They were appropriately(for small minded racists) neither.

On the subject of Egypt, which Youtube has managed distort enough to fuel ideas of black superiority, they were...Egyptian! Ancient Egypt was spread out much further than the country of Egypt is today, but in a Biblical context the heart of the ancient civilization was around the same area as is the modern nation. It's also not hard to imagine what part of Egypt Joseph(being a slave brought from the land of Canaan) would have been settled in. Or, you could simply locate Goshen(which is where Joseph brought his family in from Canaan during the seven years of famine, and was also close to his own location). Joseph was in Northeast Africa, which would have meant his Egyptians were perhaps a bit darker than he- and what we can see today as modern Egyptians. Egypt as a whole, however, was a mix of Mid-East and African inhabitants. Archeology, art, and other obvious historical evidence suggests that the power center of Ancient Egypt was controlled by the lighter skinned Egyptians. This can also be attested to by important mummies discovered with more Eurasian qualities- which many have assumed to mean that "white" people ruled Egypt(in my opinion this is a mistake, since it's much more likely that people from area of Sumer/Babylon/Canaan were in that area). This isn't to say that no "black" Egyptians were important; it was probably the case that many of the Pharaohs were even black(not most), but it certainly shouldn't be looked at as a source of "black power" or whatever it is that some people are looking for.

The slavery argument is just silly. Africans are not the most subjugated people in history, the *actual* Hebrews probably hold that unfortunate crown. People have a very weak perception of the history of slavery. It wasn't a white-black thing. In fact, slavery was so widespread and common that even after Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, the Bible does not condemn it. The only reason African slavery in America is so taboo today is because: 1) it's -relatively- recent and 2) it was distinctly racist. The slavery itself wasn't racist, that was purely economic. Africans enslaved Africans and sold them to European settlers, but over time the white population couldn't help but see the black population as "slaves", because that's all that they knew of them..

Thank you for your service, GETTINGOUTOURDREAM.

Great post. It will certainly give everyone something to consider.

I watched Louis Threoux's interview with the Black Israelites and they all believe the blackman is a superior being.

A few of my complaints with this:

If the ancient egyptians where black, why did they often depict themselves in their pictures as looking like modern egyptians?

Something is true because it is attested to by many?

How come he knows there is no "J" in Hebrew but still says Yahweh (there is no "W" in hebrew)?

All "nations" have diasporas and there are xenophobes (enemies) in all countries.

I am (under traditional definitions) jewish. I have curly hair that goes woolly, and, according to this argument, must be "negroid". Therefore, so must many of the (according to this video) "false" israelites, making them (according to this video) "real" israelites anyway.

However, I believe the term "israelite" to be unnecessary, as it refers to an ancient tribe not a modern "nation" in any sense of the word. I've nerd heard of any one calling themselves a moabite. (sorry if this sounds like a rant, people can think what they want, and I consider myself from the nation of Britain.)

Israel is a derivative of three deities.

Isis Ra El
Is Ra El
Israel

Egypt is the key to all the Jewish mythology, how can you live in a culture as a people for 400 years and not absorb many of their ideas into your way of thinking?

The Jewish and African diaspora. I never made a connection before this. I need to do some more reading.

Yes, Isus is black.

Didn't all of humanity start out as Black People?
Just sayin'.

Its true its too reasonable that i already knew it. The hebrews oringinated from africa(most likely Egypt) to escape from slavery, and then that is when God led them to Israel....God is neither black or white; he is transparent.(clear) Jesus is black, due to Joseph being from Egypt and so is Mary...Believe it or not.. its true...

Mind Blowing!

Wow!

PLEASE PUT THIS ON CURRENT TV!!!!!!!
