Deut 12:8 “Do not do as we are doing here today – each one doing whatever is right in his own eyes.”
Proverbs 14:12 “There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.”
I have to be frank. I am weary of White people & black Americans’ arguments as it relates to historical claims, especially with the back and forth regarding our Hebrew culture & heritage. Ancient Israel & our ancestor’s ethnicity & geographical “origins” has nothing to do with Europe or Sub-Sahara Africa(i.e. people who claim to be of negroid descent). Until some racist European physicians named Carolus Linnaeus & Johann Friedrich Blumenbach came along not a single person, culture, nation, and civilization used skin tone & color for ethnic and racial identity. Go ahead and call an Asian yellow or a Native American red and see what happens with regards to the response. That is offensive & it’s degrading. So why would any person, with half of common sense, believe in this white vs black race pseudo-science, psuedo-history &psuedo-biology? As it is exactly what it is, pseudo!
Most seem to be oblivious to just how ignorant it is to say they are black, but their skin is clearly brown or tan. Black Americans have a history of being infatuated with white labels placed upon them. Carl Linnaeus basically defined black Americans’ temperament as being collectively and genetically weak, timid & easy to control & manipulate, and he associated that with the definition of being “black”, and because black Americans have allowed the “Power to Define” to be left in the hands of Euro-gentiles, they have been controlled to act and think within the framework of the entire definition imposed on them. They are “black and proud” while brown or tan as defined by others.
Same for white-named people. Put a white crayon next to 20 different so-called white people & I bet you won’t get one who’s actually white and will have more color variations than Asians & Sub-Saharan Africans…
GENETICS & IDENTITY IN HEALTHCARE
Ancient Ethnic Jews did not originate in Europe or in Africa. Our people are West Asian, originating from the ancient Indus Valley Civilization & migrated to the Middle East, as I have documented in my books, “The Way” & “Developing and Establishing Effective Leadership” and as has been documented in our history by other historians and academians. We have no “original” genetic relations to Europeans & Indigenous African peoples. Black Americans themselves are not an ethnicity. They are a mixture of different people, ethnicities, and even races clumped together because they do not know their origins due to being stripped by Euro-gentile Colonial Slave owners.
Yet, despite the fact that we have very accurate DNA/Genetic tests, most would rather still walk around in ignorance because they want to be one thing according to inherited narrative yet their blood type and genetics say otherwise.
For example, Black Hebrew Israelites, many of whom pose a huge problem for the Ethnic Hebrew community, due to their misrepresentation & lack of roots in our people, culture, and faith systems. If one came to my clinic for nutritional, dietary, and medical support, and I used our genetic services to ensure I address their issues properly, and they emphatically stated that they are Jews, Israelites, or the seed of Abraham, yet the genetics test says they are not & are Sub-Saharan African or even mostly predominantly “European”, then I am not going to customize a healthcare plan based on what they believe about themselves no matter how persistent they are. I am going to give them European dietary guidelines, especially if they have A blood, or African dietary guidelines, especially if they have B blood, or Asian guidelines, especially if they have O blood.
Some ethnic groups are predisposed to genetic health problems, so if the
ethnic or racial heritage is associated with a specific group or sub-group of people with specific health risks, then I am obligated to educate & treat the issue within that specific ethnic, racial, and genetic framework.
If I were to give in to their demands to treat them as Hebrews or Middle Easterners, when their genetics say they are not, I would literally be engaging in malpractice & placing myself within the framework of a medical lawsuit or worse, jail.
The same for people who claim to be black Moors, ‘Nuwabians, Kemetics, etc… I could care less how much any of these people want to be associated with these ancient groups(except Nuwabians which is about as valid as Christian Science or the Spaghetti Church), if their health genetic tests say they are something else, then that is how they will be treated, according to being something else racially & ethnically as properly identified.
Me for example, genetically I am Abrahamic, both Ethnic Jewish and Near Eastern(I’m also a Druze which basically carries the DNA of every other people in the ME and Asia). I also have Arabic ancestry(as any DNA test that tests positive for Jewish/Israelite roots will also test positive for Arabic ancestry and visa versa due to the same origins of both & intermarriage over the course of 4000+ years). I carry the Sickle Beta Thalassemia trait and disease, a blood disorder common in people of Mediterranean, Levantine, Middle Eastern, and South Asian origins. If I got sick and went to a hospital where they are used to treating Sickle Cell Disease, which is of West African origins, and they tried to lump me in with Sickle Cell people(which has happened a few times in my life not too long ago), they’d end up engaging in malpractice and neglect, resulting in unnecessary suffering & inaccurate blood lab results.
In 2006, I had a major thalassemia crisis with pain all throughout my body. I went to the hospital, clearly in distress, they did a lab test and the test came back that I was not in a thalassemia crisis(which in and of itself is a pseudo-medical practice because blood labs can’t determine pain), so they sent me home. I was in so much pain, I had to be brought back to the hospital… After several hours, there was a split between the doctors in the ER. Half said, they didn’t know what my problem was as it doesn’t show sickle cell crisis(I don’t have Sickle Cell), so they tried to spin it as habit-drug seeking. The other half noted that I was a physician, that is holistic and known for being against allopathic pain meds unless absolutely necessary. So they made a compromise to admit me overnight to monitor me. By this time, almost 48 hours had passed. They admitted me and the next day I fell into a coma & would not respond, and my lungs collapsed. They put me in intensive care, took my blood, and boom “It showed I was in a full-blown “Sickle Thalassemia” crisis.
So what went wrong? All of this could have been avoided had the ER doctors been educated on the fact that, unlike West African sickle cell patients who show an immediate crisis via blood lab work, Sickle Thalassemia patients can take up to 36 hours to show abnormal labs(ie. reticulate count), and they are supposed to use different types of lab tests for people like me, as sickle cell and thalassemia are not of the same origins nor despite causing similar symptoms. Sickle thalassemia patients can live a long life, while Sickle cell patients have shorter life spans.
This is why using skin color to determine race, ethnicity, or even allies from enemies is ignorant, stupid, irrational & not rooted in any biological sciences whatsoever. It does NOT matter that I may look like some elements of black Americans, the fact of the matter is that I am not black American and my genetics does not associate my origins with theirs, so treating me like a black American when I’m in a health crisis almost cost me my life, just as it would with black Americans who want to be something that their genetics say they are
not.
Some black Americans have a 2-4% chance of being a descendant of Abraham, that is the hard cold truth. It’s up to them to accept the truth or to continue with a lie. One thing for sure is that no true seed of Abraham that has a covenant with Adonai Yahwah Elah is going to be walking this earth in a state of being cursed while literally practicing the Torah. That is absolutely irrational & illogical and it goes against everything the Torah says about the blessings of Elah upon his people.
PROPERLY APPROPRIATING TORAH TRADITIONS & CULTURE-JUDAISM TO RECEIVE THE BLESSINGS OF THE LAW ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE OF ELAH
The reason the Torah is not working or manifesting prosperity in some people’s lives(i.e. Black Hebrew Israelites), while fully working and prospering Torah Ethnic Jewish peoples, is that one is not who they say they are and are lying, while the other is who they say they are and are walking in Spirit and Truth. Don’t get me wrong, some Ethnic Jews fall under the curses of the law because of their evil, non-Torah and wicked behaviors such as many Zionists & racists.
Isaiah 56:1 Thus said יהוה, “Guard right-ruling, and do righteousness, for near is My deliverance to come, and My righteousness to be revealed. Isa 56:2 “Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who lays hold on it, guarding the Sabbath lest he profane it, and guarding his hand from doing any evil. Isa 56:3 “And let not the son of the foreigner who has joined himself to יהוה speak, saying, ‘יהוה has certainly separated me from His people,’ nor let the eunuch say, ‘Look I am a dry tree.’ ” Isa 56:4 For thus said יהוה, “To the eunuchs who guard My Sabbaths, and have chosen what pleases Me, and hold fast to My covenant:
Isa 56:5 to them I shall give in My house and within My walls a place and a name better than that of sons and daughters – I give them an everlasting name that is not cut off.
Isa 56:6 “Also the sons of the foreigner who join themselves to יהוה, to serve Him, and to love the Name of יהוה, to be His servants, all who guard the Sabbath, and not profane it, and hold fast to My covenant –
Isa 56:7 them I shall bring to My set-apart mountain, and let them rejoice in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their slaughterings are accepted on My altar, for My house is called a house of prayer for all the peoples.”
Isa 56:8 The Master יהוה, who gathers the outcasts of Yisra’ĕl, declares, “I gather still others to him besides those who are gathered to him.”
This passage is built upon the Torah laws that states:
Exodus 12:48, “And when a stranger sojourns with you and shall perform the Passover to יהוה, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and perform it, and he shall be as a native of the land. But let no uncircumcised eat of it.
Exo 12:49 “There is one Torah for the native-born and for the stranger who sojourns among you.”
Leviticus 24:22 ‘You are to have one right-ruling, for the stranger and for the native, for I am יהוה your Elohim.’ ”
The Aramaic word for One Torah is Torah Echad, which means teaching, whole law, constitutional law.
The Aramaic word for One Right-rulingin Leviticus is Mishpat Echad which means a legal decision, case law, judicial decree, decision, or judgment. Related to the justice system of Israel. (See Article: Understanding the Oral Torah of Adonai YHWH vs The Post-Exilic Oral Torah. Essene(Enochic) Judaism vs Pharisaical/Rabbinical Judaism. A Study Guide Part 2 – Mizrahi Ethiopian Jewish International Rabbinical Council (edenicserver.myqnapcloud.com)
In Hebrew culture, there were two types of Gers/Gerim(strangers/gentiles), A Ger Tzadik & A Ger Toshab. A Ger Tzadik is one who seeks to go through the process of ingrafting himself into Jewish culture & Statehood, adopting Judaism & living as a Jew amongst the Jewish community as a legal citizen. A Ger Toshab is a temporary resident alien who dwells amongst the Jewish community for the purposes of contract or employee work, temporary visitation, or other business-related matters. They are not citizens, nor do they practice or adopt Judaism, thus they are not afforded the same constitutional rights and protection as the Native Hebrew and ingrafted Ger Tzadik. At no time is an illegal Ger afforded any rights or protections & are treated as infiltrators & invaders.
Isaiah chapter 56 is specifically speaking of “Ger Tzadiks”, those who have joined themselves to Israel & Judaism, and no longer live in a manner separated from our people. It is not speaking of a Ger Toshab.
The Aramaic word for Joined is Lahwah. This is where we get the words Lahawi, Lewy, Levy, and Levite, which are all references to the Levitical priestly tribe of Israel(as per my last/tribal name). It means to intertwine, ingraft, to attach oneself to someone. It also means to borrow or lend. In context, it means to appropriate a culture, faith & traditions that one was not originally raised in or adhered to. Ger Tzadik borrows/adopts our culture & traditions and we are obligated to lend them a helping hand in learning, understanding, and evolving within the Torah covenant so that they prosper even as we prosper and share in the blessings that Elah has promised to the seed of Abraham.
With this understanding, I want to emphasize just how stupid black Americans are with regard to attacking people for so-called cultural appropriation. For one, black culture is NOT original and is made up of multiple cultural traditions and practices of other people’s traditions mixed into one cultural identity. Even with regards to music, more than half of them are rewrites of country music, Bollywood, Afro-beats, and other Afro-Asiatic songs and styles.
Black Americans go out of their way to be European to the point that their women wear the hair shaved off of other people(i.e. Indian women) called weave, or they perm their hair to be straight like white women, they skin bleach & 99.99% of their clothes, jewelry, handbags, shoes are all white culture inventions. When it comes to soul food, it’s nothing more than traditional white American dishes(called home-cooked/southern) with extra seasonings. It will kill you just as fast as the white counterpart. Anyone at any time can adopt or practice any culture they want, dress in any type of clothes they want, and can wear their hair in any manner they want because ultimately black Americans don’t own anything and have borrowed from all the people and cultures around them..
When it comes to the Torah and Judaism, a special kind of law and culture, people can learn our language, read the Torah, follow the Shabbat, pray towards Jerusalem 3 times a day, and try to fulfill the command and traditions written in the Torah all day and all night, but if they are not joined/engrafted into our people & have been recognized by our leadership, government and socio-spiritual political authorities, then they are not going to benefit from the Torah in the same manner as Ethnic Jews and ingrafted Gentiles benefit.
No one can walk in the Torah & benefit from the blessings of the Torah, unless and until they are “Joined & engrafted” into one of the 3 Ethnic Groups of Ancient Israel: Ashkenazi(Rabbinical), Sephardi or Mizrahi(The most ancient & includes Ethiopian Jews, Yemenite Jews, Persian Jews, Chinese Jews, Lemba, possibly Khoisan, Indian Jews, Afghanistan Jews, Iraqi Jews, Pakistan Jews etc).
That is prophetic law, and the problem is that many gentiles, so-called white and black, have ignorantly and deceptively organized their own groups, camps, congregations & communities, and have decided to do what they see right in their own eyes(a violation of the Torah), & try to function completely separate from Ethnic Jews and Judaism. This is the problem with the Church and Christianity which according to the Torah covenant is an apostate, Anti-Torah, Anti-Yahwah, pro-pagan God, pagan traditions, and lawlessness prodigal religion. The foundation of the Church is doing what they see right in their own eyes. It is the same deceptive Dybuk that motivates so-called Hebrew Christians, Black & White Hebrew Israelites, Nazarenes, gentile Essenes/Ebionites, and other quasi-Hebrew sects and cults that claim to follow the Torah apart from Judaism & the people of Israel. This includes the mentally ill who are always talking about being direct descendants of one of the ancient Hebrews(James, Jesus, King David, King Solomon, etc), or proclaiming to be a part of one of the lost tribes, and yet have absolutely no proof, not to mention there is no such thing as a lost tribe of Israel.
Yet, no matter how many communities, congregations, camps, etc, they have, the Torah will not manifest and work in the lives of such people because their entire foundation is wrong & they are not actually connected to those whom Yahwah Elah has chosen and called. Thus they are chasing after the wind and living in vain following a Torah that will never rightfully benefit them as it does us Ethnic Jews. You know we who own our own banks, have the strongest and most influential communities, own our own multi-million dollar businesses, schools, Yeshiva, Universities, Hospitals, Charities, major corporations, the media, and who dominate the financial markets, and have global influence around the world, who produce innovative technology and medical breakthroughs than any other race or ethnic group,
despite us being less than 1% of the total global population, exactly as Yahwah Elah promised us, his original people if we followed and obeyed the principles of the Torah Covenant. Did I mention that we have the strongest superior military in the entire Middle East & Africa?
Deut 28:1 “And it shall be, if you diligently obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim, to guard to do all His commands which I command you today, that יהוה your Elohim shall set you high above all nations of the earth.”
I could care less about how gentiles feel about our success, influence, rule & dominance because there is nothing to be ashamed of as it relates to Elah backing up his promises in us. Black Hebrew Israelites and even white Hebrew Israelites, who are doing as they see right in their own eyes, will never come close to a fraction of what Ethnic Jews are able to produce and prosper as a people. That is a fact!! (I do care about wicked Jews who use their power & influence to inflict oppression, arm Neo-Nazis, engage in apartheid & cause instability & division. That is not a reflection of the prosperity of Yahwah Elah upon our lives)
In fact, there isn’t a black Hebrew or any other black holistic Doctor that can even come close to my expertise, wisdom, and knowledge of both Western and Eastern Medical sciences and practice. That is because I am a real bonafide, Ethnic Jew as well as a Levitical Priest.. I wasn’t invented out of thin air unlike all of the false priests, Morehs, and Elders in the black and White Hebrew Israelite imitations. My family originated from Mt. Carmel and lived there long before it was ever called Israel again in 1948. That is a fact.
Malachi 2:7 “For the lips of a priest should guard knowledge, and they seek the Torah from his mouth, for He is the Messenger of יהוה of hosts.
Deu 17:8 “When any matter arises which is too hard for you to judge, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, or between stroke and stroke – matters of strife within your gates – then you shall rise and go up to the place which יהוה your Elohim chooses,
Deu 17:9 and shall come to the priests, the Lĕwites, and to the judge who is in those days, and shall inquire. And they shall declare to you the word of right-ruling,
Deu 17:10 and you shall do according to the word which they declare to you from that place which יהוה chooses. And you shall guard to do according to all that they instruct you.
Deu 17:11 “Do according to the Torah in which they teach you, according to the right-ruling which they say to you. You do not turn to the right or to the left from the word which they declare to you.
Deu 17:12 “And the man who acts arrogantly, so as not to listen to the priest who stands to serve there before יהוה your Elohim, or to the judge, that man shall die. So you shall purge the evil from Yisra’ĕl.
Deu 17:13 “And let all the people hear and fear, and no longer do arrogantly.
Thus, when it comes to leadership, knowledge, wisdom, teachings, and truth, who do you really think is the real teacher and leader that the masses are supposed to seek, and whom Elah has raised up, anointed, and appointed?
1. An ethnic Levitical priest(A Torah constitutionally appointed leadership,) who is literally tied to the land, whose genetics leave no room or doubt about his ethnic Hebrew origins, who has a Master in Rabbinical Studies & was raised up in Essene culture and faith according to Ethiopian Judaism, and carries a prophetic mantle to empower people & cause them to literally evolve according to evidence base theological teachings
OR
2. Some descendants of former black slaves, who know nothing about actual Hebrew
culture, use Christian bibles, came out of Christian churches, created an identity out of thin air, uses hilarious ebonic style Phoenician, passed off as Paleo-Hebrew, refuses to do a genetics test to confirm their Ethnic identity and origins, or whose DNA test clearly shows sub-Saharan and/or European origins with no connections to Middle Eastern people, and yet somehow they have self-appointed Levitical priests and Morehs(a statutory leadership) who just happen to pop up and not one has any formal training in any authentic Hebrew Yeshiva, let alone any proof of their priesthood, and who have no affiliation with either Ashkenazi, Sephardi or Mizrahi-Ethiopian Jewish communities, and barely have high school diplomas but think they have a right to teach others or play-make-believe priesthood. Not to mention they look like either Power Rangers of Medieval HipHop Catholic Priests.
Isaiah 56:9 All you beasts of the field, come to devour, all you beasts in the forest.
Isa 56:10 His watchmen are blind, all of them, they have not known. All of them are dumb dogs, unable to bark, dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber. Isa 56:11 And the dogs have a strong appetite, they never have enough. And they are shepherds! They have not known understanding. All of them look to their own way, every one for his own gain, from his own end, saying, Isa 56:12 “Come, let me bring wine and fill ourselves with strong drink1. And tomorrow shall be as today, even much greater.”
People who have actual intelligence, integrity and are seeking the truth, and are able to discern the true Torah of Elah would know that #1 is the only logical answer. So why are
hundreds of thousands of black Americans following #2? Because birds of the same feathers flock together. People are drawn to other people and leaders who have a similar spirit as themselves, even if its a demonic spirit of deception/Dybuk(Holy Ghost).
Trust me when I say this, according to the rule of the Dead Sea Scrolls, it is forbidden for any dull-witted person to be appointed to any position of leadership. A 30yr old man with a high school diploma is a dull-witted person with respect to being a priest, rabbi, Shophat(Judge), elder, or any other leader in Israel. That also applies to a man or woman who is over the age of 20 & has never been married. They are dull-witted & unfit for leadership.
Doing as one sees right in their own eyes, never leads to prosperity, blessings, stability, or greatness. White is the black American problem. The problem of White America is their obsession with revisionism(as well as black America). They want Yeshua/Jesus to be white to the point they are willing to insult an Ethnic Jew such as me, & other Mizrahi & Ethiopian Jews(who combined make up over 70% of the global Ethnic Jewish population) to push that false narrative and especially to remove any resemblance of darker skinned features from the narrative. Black Americans, the least learned in science, genetics, and biology, & especially biblical & Near Eastern history, are stuck on the stupid crayon color black race myth & definition invented by a European Physician that defines that crayon color as the lowest of human beings of all races. These black Americans are clueless when it comes to genetics, biology, and human evolution. They are soo desperate for attention and identity to the point anything that seems good or any people of color that have a history of greatness, these black Americans will attach themselves to such ancient peoples, solely based on the color of their skin despite the fact genetics would most likely prove their ancestors had absolutely no association with such civilizations as Egypt, Israel or even Indigenous Native Americans, etc!!! They wear other people’s identities like they wear the newest pair of Jordans, Yeezy’s, or the latest name-brand handbags, clothes, jewelry, and even alcoholic beverages.
It’s all about cultural pathological narcissism that drives their reasoning and motivation, not to mention they come off as being some of the most hateful and racist people on the planet, rivaling their white racist counterparts whom they seem vehemently trying to be like or out-perform as it relates to those toxic mentalities and behaviors. Especially if it’s hate towards another person of color who does not identify as Black American. Ironically many, and possibly most black Americans are literal anti-semites who’d spit in the fact of an Ethnic Mizrahi or Ethiopian Jew if they could get away with it. They only care about our culture and history when it is convenient to try to tie us to their myth and narrative of being black, & especially to try to keep alive their ideas of white racism & to benefit from a self-defeating victims narrative.
My experience since 3rd grade until now with black American attitudes and behaviors has been 97% negative, toxic, demeaning & hateful. Except for a small handful, the majority of black Americans, especially women, who meet me & my wife, love our personalities, and how we interact with people & are drawn to our kindness, and numerous black American women show explicit interest in a possible polygamy relationship with me & my family, as long as they assume we’re cool down to earth black Americans. But the minute it’s revealed that we are Ethnic Jewish & not black American, then suddenly all the cool points fly out the window, they are no longer interested in a relationship, the phone calls cease & they literally ghost on us as if we never met. The black Nationalist, ADOS & FBA counterparts, especially the men, are just uncivilized, indecent & lack basic human character once they realize we’re Jewish. They go out of their way and make extra effort to ensure we know exactly what they think of us. This is why my attitude towards black Americans is not very positive. My attitude is merely reactionary to solid & consistent negative experiences with these people for the majority of my life. That is why I do not blame any other race or ethnic groups when they say they want nothing to do with black Americans & black Americans find themselves lagging behind the rest of the world, still stuck in the 1960’s economic, academic, community, health, financial, & intelligent wise, having absolutely no allies on the planet except White Liberals, the people who originally fought to keep them enslaved, implemented Jim Crow, forced them to vote for liberal Democrat policies under the threat of violence & lynching, blocked the original civil rights passages & then implemented a long term economic & family warfare plan against them in retaliation for the Civil Rights Bill being made into law, and now literally treat them as personal, political & economic property, while still using intimidation against them(“if you don’t know who to vote for you ain’t black”, or white liberals calling out black celebrities when such celebrities start questioning the Democrat party, threatening that blacks will be put back in chains if they vote any other way.. Not to mention they voted for a man who was against his own children going to school with black students, & who just may cause WWIII and have us all killed).
You really have to be a horrible kind of liberalized people to only have these kinds of allies & no one else wants anything to do with you. Even with Republicans. I don’t blame them one bit if they didn’t give a damn about Black Americans(which is not true btw). If I put my life, my family, and my way of life on the line to help found the Abolitionist movement to free black slaves, die in a civil war to save the Union & end slavery, and create the 1st ever civil rights passage in the 1800s and the second one in the 1950’s to help you become a free people with equal rights so that you can prosper & have dignity for yourselves & then you turn around, give me your ass to kiss and side with the damn people I sacrificed my life to free you from, then I’d say fuck you and your people as well & let you end up exactly like what you all look like today!!! Black Americans have no one else to blame for their conditions today, their genocide, their violence, the predators that have arisen & are overrunning their communities and metastasizing into the rest of society, resulting in the rest of America having to arm themselves over the biggest & consistent daily domestic terrorism & criminal threats, probably in US history. They have no one to blame for the massive illiteracy epidemic amongst their youth, the STD & degeneracy disease epidemic that is leading the march to death, the constant run-ins with law enforcement that results in mostly justified use of force & the fact that this generation idolizes thugs, pimps, hoes, rappers, actors & sports entertainers more than they even care for successful black scientists, inventors, educators, philosophers & geniuses such as Tyson Neil Degrasse. Dr. Ben Carson. or Dr. Cornel West. Of course, I wouldn’t expect them to celebrate me, because I’m Jewish(unless it’s to promote some propaganda to make it all about them of course). The problems of black America are rooted in Black America itself. We can start off with the fact that they call themselves black America.
BLACK THE ABSENCE OF LIGHT: THE ORIGIN OF THE DEGRADING & EMBARRASSING IDENTITY
The term Black(as it currently stands today) & its definition was created by a European Physician Carolus Linnaeus. Words have power & those who have the power to define are able to control the narrative. The Torah constantly reminds us just how much power a name & identity has as it affects our lives. Names & identities become tied to our personality traits, our character traits, our spiritual evolution & even our genetics. A name can literally play a role in our rise to prosperity, fulfillment and success or our total demise and ineptitude. Whatever definition is attached to or associated with a name or identity will take hold of and manifest in the lives of those who live by such name or identity. When you think of the ghetto names many black Americans in the inner-city give their children that have no meaningful value, and then we see their destructive & wild behaviors, it is no coincidence that many people subconsciously see their name as being rightfully associated with such behaviors. Sharkeisha stabbing someone leads many to have an “I’m not surprised one bit, look at her name” reaction. Well, that same understanding also applies to collective identity. Colonialists knew the power behind the ability to define and to control that ability to define & they used that very understanding to subjugate, & ensure a perpetual inferior complex of an entire people from generation to generation. They started with the word Nigger(a variation of Niger), then progressed to Niiggra, Negro, & finally black American(Especially after Afro-American identity started setting a tone for a new identity that was not under their controlled definition).
Linnaeus’s division of the races and assigning those of the negroid/sub-Saharan African & even Shemitic(an entirely different race) peoples as “black” have not only led to descendants of slaves embracing this identity in folly, but they have also devolved into exactly what he described as black, temperament wise:
Linnaeus further defined this black race as being driven by sexual impulse rather than reason & as being an “a-moral” people(meaning they have no regard for what is right or wrong). All of these characteristics, though racist, are exactly what liberalized black Americans have devolved directly into verbatim.
Rabbinical Judaism, Race, & Shemitic identity
It is very true that early Rabbinical literature attempted to use a division of races based on biblical interpretation that is very similar to the very erroneous biblical interpretations used today by Christians & Black Hebrew Israelite gentiles. In Pirke De-Rabbi Eliezer, dated as far back as the 7th century CE, the lineage of Ham, Shem, and Japeth are used for the divisions of races & ethnic groups
The reference above isn’t exactly the proper way to translate the texts, & given the level of cultural incompetency & the lack of comprehension of biology, race & ethnicity by many black American revisionists, it is imperative that translations do not err on the lazy side.
This is what it says:
“Dark but Comely” is from the Aramaic shehoritn ve-naim. This is the same usage found in the Song of Solomon,
Song 1:5 “I am dark, but lovely, O daughters of Yerushalayim, Like the tents of Qĕḏar, Like the curtains of Shelomoh.
Son 1:6 Do not look upon me, because I am dark, Because the sun has tanned me. My mother’s sons were displeased with me. They made me the keeper of the vineyards, My own vineyard I have not kept.“
While some translations use the term “black” to describe the physical features & skin tone of the woman in the book of Songs, we know it is not the literal crayon color black skin tone, because she follows up by saying the sun has “tanned her”. Therefore, the proper translation is dark skin (Shachor), but comely, not literally black.
This is the same usage in the Midrash. Shem and his children were made “dark-skin” & comely, meaning they looked like the woman in the Song of Solomon. However, Hams children are described as a Raven, skin tone wise, meaning they were darker in skin tone, closer to black, if not actually black as some peoples of African descent are.
Japheth children however are described as being white, skin tone-wise. In the Torah, it makes clear that Japheth is the one who dwelt and intermixed with the Isles of the Gentiles, which would be in Europe.
The problem however with trying to use this method to divide the races is the fact that Ham, Shem, and Japeth all had the same father Noah, and the same mother Emzara according to the canonical Book of Moses(Jubilees). While it is true that based on genetics children of the same parents can come out with various skin tones and shades, it does not change the fact that they are of the same race, same ethnicity, and same household, as well as raised with the same language, same cultural values & traditions. My children are a perfect example. I have children of two distinct shades. 4 of them have a lighter tan, lighter than my skin tone which is mild brown, while 4 have skin tones that are darker brown than my skin tone & one, the youngest male has the same mild-brown skin tone. None of us are black in the literal sense and none of us come from the Sub-Saharan/African races, defined as black according to Linnaeus. Yet, all of my children are of the same Abrahamic race & ethnicity, having both Jewish & Arabic ancestry.
Now I do want to briefly point out that it is very much possible for dark skin parents to produce a white/European-featured child, just as European/white-featured parents can give birth to a dark skin/African or Asian-featured child. It happens all the time around the world. It is also true that many people are literally soo black skin tone that they look blue, but carry the A blood type which is European Ancestry, just as some Europeans have B or O blood types which are African & Asian Ancestry. Skin tone has very little to do with race & ethnicity. Something black Americans lack fundamental understanding about. The South African movie Skin is a true story based on this reality.
Yet still, dealing with Ham(Cham), Shem & Japheth, they were all of the same race & ethnicity, which is Asiatic. The logical explanation for Japheth being labeled white is if he was in fact, Albino. The other logic that can be used is that the physical features of the three are based on how their descendant’s appearances came to be based on whom they married and amongst whom they dwelt. Even though all of my sons are of the same race, ethnicity, culture, and values while living with me, when they become of age they can choose to change their cultural and religious beliefs and they can all marry women from different ethnicities and races and change the genetic direction of our bloodline. Their children can then breed further out or repatriate either back into my bloodline or their mother’s bloodline and soo on until several generations down the line people start looking more European, Asian, African, Jewish etc… If modern Jewish Ethnicity isn’t a testimony to that, then I’m not sure what could be a better example. Despite the fact that we have Ethnic Mizrahi, Ethiopian, and Sephardi Jews, all of whom are people of color of various shades from light tan to darker skin & in some cases actually black(i.e. many Ethiopian, Sudanese & Eritrean Jews), we also have some Ethnic Jews(a minority) who are white/European. Yet, despite these significantly different skin tones and racial features, DNA has not only shown that we are all related(40% of Ashkenazis are related to the rest), but that the priestly Levitical gene is found in both Ashkenazi & Dark skin Jews, such as the Lemba of Zimbabwe.
The other issue is that “original Ashkenaz”, descendants of Japheth are associated with Iranian Scythians. No, they were never originally associated with Germany. That is historical revisionism and forgery. Those of Ashkenazi Jewish descent, especially the converts, have a history of renaming locations where they migrated & settle after themselves, even when the local original inhabitants do not recognize such labels. The Sephardim did the same with Spain. There was never a time in history when Spain was ever called Sepharad. Sepharad was originally in modern-day Dophar, Oman as the book of Bereshit makes very clear. Sephardi does NOT mean Spanish Jew. The ancient Kushites also did the same in North East Africa, as the Kushites(the ethnicity, not skin tone) did not originate in Africa, they originated in ancient India(aka Hindu Kush), the same region the ancient Israelites originated in (Harappa). Ancient Egypt originated from and is a replica of northern ancient India. In fact, ancient India included the geographical location called India today, but also included the areas now known as Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the entire Middle East and extended to the southern borders of ancient Ethiopia in NE Africa. The Book of Esther 1:1 & The Complete works of Josephus also documents this. It is also a fact that Adam and Chawwah(Eve), who were not the 1st humans created on the planet, originated from the Near Eastern land of Elda, & placed in the Garden East of Aden(Eden/Yemen) aka SoQatra Island, and upon their removal from the Garden they returned to Elda, which is also in Asia as well. They were Asian.
The Tenakh has nothing to do with the history of the world or the history of all races. Its focus is on an Asiatic people and their migrations & to show how Israel, an Asian people, came into existence after their ancestors migrated and settled in the Middle East. We know around about what time period Adam and Chawwah existed because we have a traceable genealogy that starts with Adam & goes all the way up to the 1st century as documented in the Complete Works of Josephus.
So when all of this is taken into context, the Rabbinical literature gives physical descriptions of Shemites, Chamites, and Japhethites. We know these three were not Negroid/Black as in the race, and that their skin tone no matter how dark does not connect them to Black Americans, just as Japheth’s description of being White or Albino(which is actually white) has little to do with White Americans & Europeans, other than matters related to later intermarriage. The Rabbinical writing is wrong to try to associate Ham, Shem, and Japeth with being of 3 races, but what can they expect when the Council of Jamnia deceptively removed the Book of Moses aka Jubilees from the Scriptures leaving this kind of void in the Torah that they have today.
All of this in context shows just how off and wrong Black Americans and White Americans are with regards to Yeshua, who as a Shemite would have been dark & comely, not olive, white or “African/Negroid/Black”. Keep in mind that certain parts of the Near East, such as India have people who are very dark skinned & yet no one would ever assign them to being the same race or people as black Americans or Africans because of their physical features, other than their dark skin tones, clearly shows an Asiatic bloodline. Ethiopians/Kushites not only look like southern Dravidians of India but they also share ancient DNA markers. This includes the Yemenites who are related to the Kushites.
We also know that 1st-century Ethnic Israelites had physical features similar to Kushites’ because 1st-century historians documented this as well. Tacitus, our enemy actually writes:
This is what a Real Ethnic Jew looks like on the left and the fake imposter looks like on the right. Similar skin tones, but no historical, genetic, biological, spiritual or cultural relations.
Thus once all of this is put into context, we see the folly of both White Americans & Black Americans as it relates to Yeshua Ben Yoseph & Ethnic Jews such as myself. Ironically, White and Black Americans engage in the exact same folly about non-other than Santa Klaus, Saint Nickolaus. White people have this Jolly old Fat white man in a red suit, and black Americans just replace him with a black man in the same suit, yet the historical reality is that Saint Nickolaus was of Turkish-Arabic descent, making both sides horribly wrong again. It’s as bad as some Chinese/Asian restaurants having a statue of this fat jolly man that they call Buddha, when in fact that is not Buddha by a long shot. He too was a dark-skinned man with Asiatic features as shown in all of their history books, ancient statutes, and archeology.
This is why cultural competency and having a fundamental understanding of Jewish history & our writings(i.e. the bible) as well as what constitutes race, biology, genetics, etc, is very important before one starts trying to promote a narrative that ultimately reflects their bias & illiteracy in their desperate attempt to try to attach themselves to something they clearly have no historical, racial or ethnic relationship to. All people of the same or similar skin tone are not kin folk, and those who determine their allies from their enemies using skin color are always on the dumbest loser side of history.
Once a person starts off with the term “black” for identity and historical purposes or opens a KJV bible or other related version, they can no longer be seen as intelligent enough to speak with scholars and leaders on an intellectual basis nor sit at the table with us to speak in any manner that we’d respect. If the foundation is wrong, the entire building built upon it is built wrong, and unless they have enough integrity and character to see
their folly and then go seek a true authentic Ethnic Levitical priest to help them tear down, root out and overthrow that building so they can properly rebuild it the right way, then there is no hope for such people. They will remain on the outside of the Gates of Israel, the blessings of Israel, and the prosperity associated with the promises given to our people. And in that case, they are of NO concern to those of us who are within the gates because the blessed and the cursed cannot ever dwell together.
There will never be a redemptive evolution of any people who cling to the Torah and yet remain outside of the gates of Sephardi, Mizrahi, Yemenite, Ethiopian & Non-Zionist Ashkenazim-Idumean Judaism & Judeanism.
Shalom,
Dr. Rabbi Cohen Shalomim Y. HaLahawi
