OF THE
TIMES
BLM would do well to look at the strategies of the Civil Rights movements that proceeded themJeezus, are you so naive you think these people are idealists?
I'm not even sure what Hitler and Fascism has got to do with black culture or politics.....[Link]
The Black Hebrew Israelites are an enormous joke.Well, they probably would be if it were not for the fact that The Centre for the Critical Study of Apocalyptic and Millenarian Movements estimates their membership to be 5% of black Americans - 1.5 million
I bet Israel would not allow a single one of them into their countryThe Black Hebrew Israelites have been in Israel for decades.
I think you are thinking of the African Hebrew Israelites by the way.Nope.
Israel is not really in the practice of letting black people from anywhere immigrate there.As I already told you, they're already there. They've been there for decades. If you had any interest in this subject, you'd look it up.
And the price of fish, I don't know, maybe you smell fishy.And presumably, if I respond to your weak insults it'll be "Boo hoo hoo!!! HFL's a meanie!!" for the next five hours too.
Highland Fleet Lute by the way you are mixed up. Black Hebrew Israelites are in america.You didn't look very far, did you?....
AFRICAN Hebrew Israelites, a different group completely, is in Israel.
The same information is available to me than to you. Are you just too proud to admit when you are mixed up?
Ben Ammi Ben-Israel established the African Hebrew Israelites of Jerusalem in Chicago, Illinois, in 1966, at a time when black nationalism was on the rise as a response to the Civil Rights Movement. In 1969, after a sojourn in Liberia, Ben Ammi and about 30 Hebrew Israelites moved to Israel. Over the next 20 years, nearly 600 more members left the United States for Israel. As of 2006, about 2,500 Hebrew Israelites live in Dimona and two other towns in the Negev region of Israel, where they are widely referred to as Black Hebrews. In addition, there are Hebrew Israelite communities in several major American cities, including Chicago, St. Louis, and Washington, D.C. The Black Hebrews believe they are descended from members of the Tribe of Judah who were exiled from the Land of Israel after the Romans destroyed the Second Temple in 70 CE. The group incorporates elements of African-American culture into their interpretation of the Bible. They do not recognize rabbinical Jewish interpretations such as the Talmud. The Black Hebrews observe Shabbat and biblically ordained Jewish holidays such as Yom Kippur and Passover. Men wear tzitzit on their African print shirts, women follow the niddah (biblical laws concerning menstruation), and newborn boys are circumcised. In accordance with their interpretation of the Bible, the Black Hebrews follow a strictly vegan diet and only wear natural fabrics. Most men have more than one wife, and birth control is not permitted. When the first Black Hebrews arrived in Israel in 1969, they claimed citizenship under the Law of Return, which gives eligible Jews immediate citizenship. The Israeli government ruled in 1973 that the group did not qualify for automatic citizenship because they could not prove Jewish descent and had not undergone Orthodox conversion. The Black Hebrews were denied work permits and state benefits. The group accused the Israeli government of racist discrimination. In 1981, a group of American civil rights activists led by Bayard Rustin investigated and concluded that racism was not the cause of the Black Hebrews' situation. No official action was taken to return the Black Hebrews to the United States, but some individual members were deported for working illegally. Some Black Hebrews renounced their American citizenship in order to try to prevent more deportations. In 1990, Illinois legislators helped negotiate an agreement that resolved the Black Hebrews' legal status in Israel. Members of the group are permitted to work and they also have access to housing and social services. The Black Hebrews reclaimed their American citizenship and have received aid from the U.S. government, which helped them build a school and additional housing. In 2003 the agreement was revised, and the Black Hebrews were granted permanent residency in Israel. In 2009, Elyakim Ben-Israel became the first Black Hebrew to gain Israeli citizenship. The Israeli government said that more Black Hebrews may be granted citizenship. The Black Hebrews of Israel maintain a gospel choir, which tours throughout Israel and the United States. The group owns restaurants in several Israeli cities. In 2003 the Black Hebrews garnered public attention when singer Whitney Houston visited them in Dimona. In 2006, Eddie Butler, a Black Hebrew, was chosen by the Israeli public to represent Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest.Interestingly enough, one of the head honchos of the Chicago group is Michelle Obama's cousin.
what insults?Another SOTT reader who doesn't care what he says, doesn't remember what he says, takes no responsibility for what he says, etc...
i dont remember insulting you?
being a little mixed up is not an insult.
and i am not backtracking.
And the price of fish, I don't know, maybe you smell fishy.Weak insult.
Comment: White people are to act as a human shield? How can this be deemed anything but racist? It's incredibly sad that a movement that is supposed to be about racial equality is so quick to subjugate individuals based on their race. And the white guilt is so strong with those at the protests, they'll likely obey with little thought. BLM would do well to look at the strategies of the Civil Rights movements that proceeded them. They were successful and never stooped to these levels.
