FB bans 'dangerous' individuals

Which is what makes him an idiot.  His brand of Afrocentrism is, without doubt, discredited. He likes to claim that Jews were black as a way of demonizing all non-blacks generally.  His entire goal with this nonsense isn't just to support and recognize African contributions to world civilization (a position I agree with), but to marginalize the contributions of all non-Africans.

This is racism, pure and simple.

Discredited by who? Is not Old Testament scripture Jewish literature? Did I not quote Old Testament scripture that states "I am black, but comely"? Did I not quote Old Testament scripture that stated as a punishment for disobedience that the Hebrews would be brought back to slavery in ships? Then there's the fact that Moses and Paul were both mistaken for being Egyptian, and even Josephs own brothers didn't recognize him among the Egyptians.

Then there's the fact Israel has the second highest skin cancer rate (behind Australia) which is nature way of telling you that they aren't native to that land.

I could go on, but my point is, there is plenty of scriptural evidence that the Jews were black people. My question to you is who debunked it?

Spot on.  David Duke and Louis Farrakhan are flip sides of the same racist coin.  They're both despicable.

Really? How many people has the NOI killed?

That's the same thing KKK people are saying about Jews: that they're not antisemitic because these Jews today are not real Jews.

Ok, then who are they claiming to be the real Jews?

1. The Hebrew word translated 'black' can mean 'black', 'dark', 'tanned' and (sometimes) 'tawny'.  Since the speaker mentions having been put to work in the vineyards, 'tanned' is the most likely interpretation.  Furthermore, the speaker is addressing 'O, ye daughters of Jerusalem!', thus implying that the people of Jerusalem were fair skinned (fairer than the speaker, at any rate).

2.  People other than those with dark skin have been enslaved.  That Hebrews were enslaved doesn't really bolster the case for Afrocentrism.

3.  If Moses, Paul and Joseph were unrecognized among the Egyptians, the most likely answer is that Egyptians weren't black.  Current thinking is that skin tones varied pretty widely.

4.  Your information on skin cancer rates is out of date.

5.  You're wrong. There is NO scriptural evidence that Jews were black.

6.  I highly recommend 'We Can't Go Home Again', by Clarence E. Walker.  He pretty much demolishes Afrocentrism as a pseudohistorical load of garbage.  Lots of others have contributed to debunking the notion, but Walker is particularly erudite and readable.

7.  I don't know how many people the Nation of Islam have killed, but that's not my point.
