How does stating what the bible literally says make me a Hebrew Israelite? I'm sure I agree with a fair number of Presbyterian beliefs, but that doesn't mean I'm Presbyterian.

Well, you were the one who was making the distinction between real Jews and "fake" Jews on account of their being non-black, and heavily implying that American blacks are the descendants of the lost tribes of Israel.

Hardly seems like of a stretch, but okay.

It's not like I said any of that without context, it was in response to the question "who did "black" people pray to before slavery", that question makes absolutely no sense if the people in the scriptures WERE black... hence:

I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. - Song of Solomon 1:5

The above scripture was not written by "Hebrew Israelites"...

Moses was married to a Kushite woman who was unquestionably black, who did she pray to?


 

True?
Do you believe black Africans were to blame for their own enslavement for turning away from the righteousness of the Most High?

Asking for a friend.

I wouldn't say I'd blame someone for someone else's actions, but I would say that actions have consequences. The Hebrews made a covenant with God, there were consequences for breaking it.


To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him; neither have we obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets. Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him. Daniel 9:9-11

Sounds exactly like blame to me.

And if such is the case, there's really no point in being angry with or critical towards white supremacy/racist white folks is there? If our oppression is a curse, borne of our own disobedience/lack of faith, then they've been acting in accordance to God's will all this time and aren't actually accountable for anything. 
That means that slavery in the Americas and all the associated atrocities including but not limited to rape, torture, dismemberment, mutilation, medical experimentation, sexual abuse of black children, buck breaking and murder, plus ALL of the bullshit that followed afterwards has simply been a matter of us getting our just desserts on account of our ancestors not having enough "supernatural" grace.

Believe that if you like, but I'm not buying it.

And if any of this actually were true, well...That would mean that your God ain't shit for that. 
Not worthy of worship.

I'm sorry if that offends, but that's my honest opinion.

Maybe you study some of the atrocities committed by the ancient Hebrews, at one point they were burning their kids alive in sacrifice to Moloch, God told them at the outset that he would visit the iniquities of the father upon their descendants. God has ALWAYS dealt with the Hebrews as a collective, a few people could screw it up for everybody, that's just how it was.

At the end of the day, I don't believe I am in any position to Judge the wisdom of an omniscient being...
